I know you posted this awhile ago, but I'm feeling jittery and need to talk to as many people as I can haha. I also applied to University of Minnesota, have you heard anything about interviews yet? I'm starting to get nervous but want to know if I should or shouldn't be anxious yet!

One of my letters of recommendation submitted a day late so I'm not quite sure if they even accepted my application. It's real bummer but I applied to many other schools so I'm going to try and stay hopeful about those - sorry probably not helpful. I wish you the best of luck though, their program and faculty sound so amazing!!

Just got my interview invite from Loyola Chicago this evening! I’m very excited that I have one less school to agonize over during my winter break! ?

I just got my interview invite from Loyola as well! Is yours at the end of January by chance?

Congrats! Mine is 2/1. It’s for the PhD program, not sure if it makes a difference!

Just got rejected from University of Houston's PhD program ? I received an e-mail notification and a link that directed me to the decision letter.

Hey everyone!

I know I’m a little late to the party. I applied to four PhD programs:

Ball State

University of Kentucky

University of Georgia

Indiana University-Bloomington

I received interview invites for Ball State and University of Kentucky. I had a kind of preliminary interview with a professor at UGA and they will be sending formal interview invites out sometime after January 4th, apparently. Haven’t heard from Indiana university, but it looks like they may have sent out invites? So that doesn’t sound great for me lol. I’m excited though!! Congrats to everyone else with interviews too. We got this!!

Is it cool if you gave out the initials of your PI at UGA? I've already contacted mine and we spoke briefly about a month ago. They must also have gotten a huge amount of applications this year too, I don't envy them.

Sure! It is SF. I’m sure they have. I think they might be contacting people sporadically. It seems like they won’t be contacting for formal interviews until later in January.

Ah, AH for me. Yeah, thats what this website has seemed to indicate so far. Still haven't heard from 8/9 programs that were due on Dec 1st or earlier, this is gonna get bumpy.

I hope everyone is enjoying the holidays! So I applied to UGA mostly because that’s where I’m getting my masters instead of based on research interests like I did for the other schools I applied. I mentioned SA in my SOP because from what I read, his research matched with my undergrad experience. I got an individual email from another professor, ML inviting me to the UGA interview day and saying she wanted to talk to me and see if we have a reasonable research match. I was reading her research bio and I am actually more interested in her research and I guess she wants to work with me based on my application? Is this common? Does it look bad or can I make up for it by reading up on the  professor that invited me and being prepared to interview? 
hang in  there waiting everyone!!

The same thing happened to me for UGA! I wouldn’t worry too much about it. 
 

Curious though, was it an invite to the big interview day or a shorter informal interview?

Thank you! Here’s the email: 

The UGA School Psychology program is holding a virtual interview day on January 22nd, and I would like to invite you to attend. I am interested in meeting with you to see if we might have a reasonable research match.

 

Our interview day is typically in-person but, due to COVID, we are changing the procedure. More details should be forthcoming. Our student organization does a great deal of the planning and should send out emails in the next few weeks about what the virtual interview day will look like.

Awesome! Thank you

I’m a little anxious now because the interview day is the same and University of Kentucky’s interview day. Oh no!!

Anyone have any interview updates? I am wondering if most will come after the New Year or if it is possible to receive any updates this week?

Has anyone heard from University of Utah or University of Arizona? 

 

Good luck everyone!

I applied to University of Utah and have heard NOTHING. They are the last one I’m waiting on. That deadline was 12/15 so I assumed they would send out invites later.

Okay, yeah that makes sense! I just checked and it looks like their offices are closed through New Years holiday. Probably shouldn't worry about it until January.

I had to reschedule two of my interviews (3 of them were supposed to be on the same day, Actually the 22nd just like you) 

Both the programs I rescheduled with were understanding. You should be fine!

I did receive an email about interviews late December for the Ed.S program. It looks like the interviews will be in about 2 weeks.
