I'm starting this thread so that we can get to know each other and (hopefully) see each other on interview day! The application deadline was due today and I am so relieved that my letters of recommendation were able to be submitted on time. Now, all we have to do is wait it out! I read online that we should be hearing about interviews in December or January, so best of luck to all of us!

Hi everyone! I didn't apply to this program, since I'm only applying to PsyDs. However, I went to UCSB for undergrad and got two minors through the Gevirtz Graduate School of Education, so I'm familiar with several of the professors and I've talked to students in the CCSP program about their experience. I've got plenty to say about the university itself, too!

If anyone has any questions, feel free to message me!

Wow, thanks - that's super cool! Also, good luck on your PsyD applications! If you don't mind me asking, what was your experience like going to UCSB? Also, is the Gevirtz Grad School of Education really as wonderful as it seems (such as its support of diverse students and passion for social justice, for example) or is it more on paper only? ?

Has anyone gotten any interview invites yet? So anxious.

I haven't heard anything yet! I literally check the Results page a few times a day to see if anyone has posted any responses from UCSB. Any day now!!! I'm hoping we hear back this week

Same here! I think out of all the schools I've applied to UCSB is the most likely to send out interview invites potentially as early as this week. We'll see... ?

Has anyone's portal changed at all? My "Application Status" still says "Submitted", but I thought it would change to Pending or Under review or something by now!

Mine still says "Submitted" too. I also checked the Department Communications tab too and there's nothing in there either

Same! So nervous. Do you know if they typically email rejections too, or do they just contact you if you were selected for an interview?

First round of interviews are this week (Dec. 7-10), specifically school psych track, not sure about the other two tracks. The program narrows down the number of prospective students after this first round 30 min zoom interview with your POIs. Second round is a program interview in January on campus, but it will be different this year due to COVID. Two interview rounds. Acceptance letters sent out around beginning of February.

Yeah the interview info was sent via email. The first round was to get to know you better and see if you’re a good fit for their lab.

Do only people who go through first round interviews receive second round invites, or do they do first and second and then the final? Thanks guys!

Also, congratulations to those who heard back! I'm rooting for you all!

First round interview, narrow down numbers for second round interview. After second interview they pick who they will accept into the program
