justacigar Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 (edited) Interview invites should *hopefully* be rolling in pretty soon, especially for the programs with Nov. 15th deadlines, so I thought we could get this thread going. Here's a template for posts that was used last year: School: Type: PhD/PsyD Date of invite: Type of invite: Mass email, email from POI, phone call, etc. Interview date(s): DM for POI: Yes/No Good luck, everyone!

higaisha Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Can we add in the template POI available upon pm (or something like this): yes/no Every year these things are clogged by (well-meaning and anxious) users spamming the threads with "omg can you tell me/pm me your POI". If we can add in that prompt, people who wish to be contacted and share their POI can say so and receive private messages accordingly. Just a suggestion!

Some people probably won't want to share their PI, so this is a great alternative for those who want to be forthcoming with that info!

EileanDonan Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 (edited) Are we counting preliminary Zoom chats here? EDIT: Feels too soon to make an official post, but I literally just heard from a prof at one of my "safety" schools about setting up a Zoom meet (not the official one I think)! I guess I should amend my earlier statement about PI's likely not issuing invites yet. I think it's fair game for some POI's to reach out for an early feel.

Dazen Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I've used CUDCP in the past (https://teamup.com/ks952632ef38687f3e) to get a sense of when to expect interview invites, but they seem slow in updating this year. 2019 data might be helpful for school-specific expectations though. But I'm also just refreshing my email like a champ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phdhopeful96 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Hi everyone! Before anyone panics I did not apply to clinical programs!! I just got an email from a PI with an interview invite! He gave me a date for the virtual interview but said it was still in subject to change since they are in the planning stages. What is everyone's general consensus about interview this year? I know in the past people have said to wait before confirming an invite in case your top program interview is the same day. With the interviews being virtual this year, is it possible to do two (or more) on the same day? Thanks guys, and sorry to post here, but I didn't know where else to post this question!

PsychApplicant2 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 It looks like Auburn is sending out interview invites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pomegranateleaves Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 It looks like the University of Tennessee (I'm assuming Knoxville) is sending them out too - at least in the Experimental Psych program so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, if you like suburban/calm and being close to New Mexico then it's a plus. The airport charges WAY TOO MUCH for flights to leave Lubbock.

PsyDuck90 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I have pinned this post for the time being to minimize people starting a million others. As higaisha said, please keep the thread organized. Utilize DM if you are curious of a certain POI, but please respect people's right to not disclose that information. txpsychology, higaisha, PsychApplicant2 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justacigar Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 Also, I'm wondering if we can keep the questions and general support on the regular Fall 2021 Clinical & Counseling thread? I know I'm personally jumpy whenever I see someone post on this thread ? and I know I'm contributing to that just by writing this post lol so I apologize in advance BigBrainEnergy and ImAFreudNot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
