pomegranateleaves Posted November 16, 2020 Posted November 16, 2020 (edited) 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! Edited November 16, 2020 by pomegranateleaves psy2021 1
Psy-aye-aye Posted November 19, 2020 Posted November 19, 2020 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! pomegranateleaves 1
pomegranateleaves Posted December 1, 2020 Author Posted December 1, 2020 December 1st! We should be hearing about first round interviews pretty soon ? fingers crossed! ?

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? ?
schoolpsychinprogress Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 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

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... ?
standardegg3456 Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 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!

I also checked the Department Communications tab too and there's nothing in there either
pomegranateleaves Posted December 8, 2020 Author Posted December 8, 2020 The results page shows that UC Merced started sending out offers ?

Do you know if they typically email rejections too, or do they just contact you if you were selected for an interview?
BlueButterflies Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 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.

pomegranateleaves Posted December 8, 2020 Author Posted December 8, 2020 (edited) 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! Edited December 8, 2020 by pomegranateleaves
standardegg3456 Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 Ahh congrats! Anything from the Clinical track?
BlueButterflies Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 First round interview, narrow down numbers for second round interview. After second interview they pick who they will send accept into the program

Sunkay123 Posted December 9, 2020 Posted December 9, 2020 Were round one interview invites already sent out for the school psych track?
BlueButterflies Posted December 9, 2020 Posted December 9, 2020 Did anyone’s POIs give a more concrete date of when second round invites are sent out?
