I haven't heard from 8 programs yet, but I am pretty much expecting rejections from them. The exception being GMU, since I checked a box indicating that I wanted to be considered for the masters program there. I am just going to play it safe and assume the worst for those schools. Regardless, I won't be making any decisions until closer to the April 15th deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LontheL Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Hey Folks! Best of luck to everyone out there; it's been a stressful season waiting to hear back from schools. It seems that University of Minnesota has been quiet so far - wondering if anyone has heard anything from them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psy21 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 To the person who posted about being waitlisted from Wayne state, may I ask if you received an email from your PI or the department? I emailed Wayne state to check my app status and they said I should expect to hear back sometime next week. I just see one waitlist post so I am wondering if anyone else heard back from them yet. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrgPsy Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Hey! Congrats to everyone who's had good news so far and also good luck to everyone waiting I'm sure offers are coming soon! I had a question because I'm less familiar with the process for US schools coming from Canada. Here, some Canadian Uni's give shorter deadlines for giving our answer (i.e. three weeks from letter) but some say April 15th. I noticed in the US April 15th also seems to be the popular decision day. Is the April 15th date a hard, set deadline in the States? I'm only now waiting for one US school's reply to make my decision and I was trying to gauge when is the latest I could potentially hear back. Thanks to anyone who has any insight on this and good luck to everyone poserchild 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nonya Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Hello! Did anyone that applied to SFSU get a request to go through a one way interview? I also applied to SJSU but I’m assuming nobody has heard anything from them yet. Do let me know if I’m wrong though! ☺️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got rejected to U-Waterloo and I had an interview at SDSU. Still waiting on the rest of my results. SDSU and SJSU are def my top choices as I'm currently located in California and program funding. How about you? SDSU has already sent or started sending out letters for people who they’ve accepted. Hopefully you hear back soon if you haven’t already~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to anyone who has any insight on this and good luck to everyone Hey, so this is my first application cycle, but it's my understanding that April 15th is standard for most programs here in the US. I am not sure if that is correlated to April 15th also being "Tax day" in the US or not, but that seems to just be the norm here. I haven't heard of too many schools requesting a decision made after April 15th, but I hope that helps answer your question! OrgPsy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
io_psych Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Hi all -- congrats to everyone who has gotten in already! I applied to MSIO programs this cycle. So far I've had a one-way interview with sfsu. I'm assuming I've gotten rejected from sdsu as I haven't heard anything from them (but people here have gotten accepted/waitlisted). Has anyone heard anything from sjsu, csulb, or csusb yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psychologia Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Hi everyone:) I applied to Master's programs this cycle - SDSU, CSULB, SJSU, SFSU, USC, UT Arlington, and George Mason. I had interviews at SFSU and UTA, and have been accepted at UTA and George Mason so far. Haven't heard a thing from the rest (rejection is very likely from SDSU, maybe CSULB as well). Basically, I'm wondering if it would be a mistake to go anywhere besides GM-- everything I read seems to reinforce that it's an amazing program. I would get in-state tuition at the California schools, so I'm hoping at least one accepts me for financial reasons, but GM seems to have so many opportunities & I think it's a really exciting option. If anyone has opinions on GM, I'm all ears!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone has opinions on GM, I'm all ears!! The opportunities at GMU are phenomenal. I applied to PhD programs this cycle, however I was also considering accepting a master's position there. I understand that the PhD students & MS students take courses together, so the training is really good. Plus, you are near DC which is great for IO. Would you receive any funding at GMU? I think it depends where you want to work as well, but I would most likely take the GMU position since the program is widely recognized in the IO community and I don't really know much about UTA or some of the other California schools.

Mandable Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I just got rejected from CSULB's I/O psych program. still waiting on SDSU, CSUSB and SJSU. I feel like I am not gonna get into SDSU either given that I never got an interview invite( I didn't even know they do interviews until I read about it in the forum). DO all of you applying to I/O Psych programs have research experiences? I didn't have any research experience but I thought since I am applying for the MS I/O psych program, research experience is not as important... I went to UC Irvine for my undergrad, majored in psych and have a decent GPA, and have been working as a behavioral therapist for the past two years. Has anyone heard back from CSUSB yet? OR anyone applied/got accepted to CSUSB can share their experience with the application process and with the program ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have research experience from my undergrad years and a year of HR experience during the gap year I took.

I hope we all hear from the CSUs next week, though I’ve heard of some not notifying until early April. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
