Oh interesting you're also looking into psych programs! Awesome- do you have an MSW? 

Mainly Social Work but I did apply to two psych programs :)

I received an interview invite from BC yesterday - so if you haven't already, you should hear something soon!

OMG @ArchieJones CONGRATULATIONS!!! You got this. I have not heard anything from BC yet but either way cannot wait to hear back, thanks for letting us know.

I saw another person got a BC interview. Did you reach out at all to the Professor before your application etc?

OK awesome! I know so little Social workers getting PhDs that this is nice to read. I do have an MSW but not clinically licensed- i went more into administration/program management. I thought i would want to be clinically focused when i started my MSW and QUICKLY jumped ship- lol.

I did not - I didn't realize that that was a thing until it was kind of too late. However, I have a very strong research match with my professor so I'm hoping that will help me recover.

GOOD LUCK! Wishing everyone the very best. 

My research interests revolve around 3 main interrelated topics: aging, mental health, and access to care (mainly cultural/minority population barriers).

 

What are yours?

@ALL 

Does anyone have feedback on a full day interview event/recruitment event prior to gaining admission?

After interviewing twice: once with POI and second one with admissions they extended a final day long interview and I have no idea what that looks like and was wondering how I can be most successful in this? Any feedback is appreciated. Supposedly is to meet other faculty and current students before admission decisions are reached.

Thanks for wishes and sharing your research interests!! Wishing everyone the very best! My research interests include caregiving, quality of life and palliative care. 

And I just got the second invite from another POI with BC. I am not sure how many professors we are supposed to talk. Does anyone also get multiple invites from BC's professors?

I got a second invite too - I think all the professors that are interested in you are getting an interview

I also received an email from two faculty members I mentioned in my personal statement.

Has anyone heard anything from UT-Austin? Hope this process is going well (and hasn't been too anxiety producing) for y'all so far!

Have not heard anything yet from UT.

 

Also, I'm losing my mind over here waiting! lol
