charlotte.willer0320 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 It means nothing, I'm afraid. Some places make their minds up within hours. Some wait for the regularly scheduled meeting to discuss student placement. Some schools are waiting for grant/assistantship information. There's just no way to know what your school is doing short of asking them. Thanks for letting me know. The place i had my interview at is my only viable option at this point and i've been getting more and more freaked out every day that i don't hear from them. So it's nice to know that it could mean absolutely nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's nice to know that it could mean absolutely nothing. Thanks for posting this. I'm in virtually the same boat - had an interview about two weeks ago and they said it would take them about a month (!) to decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlotte.willer0320 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I just called Penn and they already had a round of interviews, but they sometimes have a second round. And if they end up having a second round of interviews this year then the invitations for them will be sent out probably early next week. You know, i just think it's ridiculous that this process is set up in a such a way that people are jerked around as much as they are. Would it be so horrible for schools to have a clear timeline that they could post on their website somewhere? a.arcane 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t_ruth Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I know I wrote on its own thread, but has anyone heard anything from Vanderbilt in any non-neuroscience psych program/area? Aside from two Feb. deadline programs, it's the only one I haven't heard from. *I'm posting here because they allowed application to more than one area and mine was Ed. Psych w/developmental and social and you social peeps seem...well, more social Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koolkat1825 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I also haven't gotten in anywhere yet. I've only got one official rejection, but since I haven't gotten even the hint of an interview anywhere I'm starting to really freak out. I still don't have a plan B.

ammo1 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Hey everyone, It seems like a lot of us were waitlisted at Tufts for social psych. From my understanding (back in Nov) the program was potentially accepting 2 students, I wonder if they are planning to take more, since there are so many of us waitlisted. Whichever, the generic waitlist email said our applications were "highly regarded," so congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whichever, the generic waitlist email said our applications were "highly regarded," so congrats! I emailed a professor at tufts about his research ( im not applying to grad school yet) and I asked him about next year how many do they usually accept and he says this year they are hoping to accept 3 students into the social program Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlotte.willer0320 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I asked Berkeley about the status of my application and got this reply: "The Admissions Committee has made its decisions so we are in the process of mailing letters with the Admission Committee's decisions to applicants. Please let us know if you do not receive a letter from our department by Friday, March 13th." Well, at least i'll know when my rejection letter will arrive.

dukegirl09 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 For anyone waiting to hear back from Harvard or GW, I called today. Harvard said they are mailing out all decisions on Friday, and GW said they are sending them out "mid-month." Good luck, everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem...I'll be away on a cruise and I'm LEAVING on Friday for a week and a half (argh!!!) At least I'm pretty sure I already know where I'm going, so I guess that takes some of the anxiety away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you also have the dream where you see yourself standing in sort of sun-god robes on a pyramid with a thousand naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at you?

poofypoof Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 After you guys had interviews, how long was it before you heard whether you got in or not? I had an interview last Friday and i still haven't heard. Do you think this most likely means i didn't get in? From one of them, a week. From another, 3 days. ...that I got in. It seems from what they say that they put people on waitlists. So for example, they may extend invitations first to those they *know* they want, and wait on the ones they're undecided on. That way, if people reject these earlier offers they can extend the invitation to those on the waitlist. This helps to control the size of the entering class.

kh1264 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Hey, I've been lurking on this thread trying to see if anyone has heard from George Washington's Applied Social Psych Ph.D. program??? I called and the secretary told me that they do not usually extend interview invites for this particular program (which I did not realize) and she seemed unsure if they had completely filled the cohort for this program yet. In fact, she seemed quite reluctant to offer any info that wasn't about the Clinical program. So....has anyone heard anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey kh1264, I called yesterday, and they said that they will be mailing out all decisions in the middle of this month. You're correct, they don't interview, so they'll be sending out all acceptances and rejections in...probably about 2 weeks, and the fact that you haven't heard anything yet doesn't mean anything positive or negative. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nilla Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Yesterday I received a generic email from UC Davis that said "We are in the process of making a decision on your application for admission. You may review the decision after 8:00 a.m. PST on March 9, 2009, by accessing your UC Davis application on the online admission web site." Did anyone else who applied to Davis receive an email like this? Does anyone know if Davis already had an interview/recruitment weekend? I haven't seen much about Davis on the forum, so I'm really not sure what to expect when I check my status on March 9th... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
