BlueOblivion Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Hi! Long time viewer, first time poster. Is anyone else here attending the UCLA interview weekend this weekend? If you are and want to chat beforehand, feel free to PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeble Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 Hi Dukegirl, I also applied to the GW applied social psych program and haven't heard anything yet. Such a late application deadline though, so I'm not expecting to hear until sometime in March. And to those who got into U Conn, congrats! I'm on "an informal wait list" there. So not too likely to get admission at this point. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukegirl09 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I also applied to the GW applied social psych program and haven't heard anything yet. Such a late application deadline though, so I'm not expecting to hear until sometime in March. See, I thought that too, except then I read somewhere something about it being a rolling deadline (which I certainly did NOT realize when I applied) and hearing within 4-6 weeks...though I may have misread that. Besides, it's been almost 2 months since I submitted my application and I haven't heard anything, so I'm thinking more and more that I actually did read that wrong. Don't remember where I saw it.

kyyk Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Hi Dukegirl, Just wondering whom you applied to work with at Urbana-Champaign because I applied there but haven't heard anything from them. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parmenides79 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Hey everyone, I've been lurking on this forum, but saw something today that motivated me to post. I saw that somebody else got accepted to University of Kansas, which remains my only acceptance so far (I also have rejections from University of Michigan and WashU). Kansas said they can't promise funding until they get the budget for next year, which I guess is fairly common. Are all of the schools doing this?

Starlight Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 My guess is a lot of schools are going to be slower this year in notifying students about the funding packages, but not all schools are going through the same situation. Within a week of my acceptance letter to U Michigan they had sent me a letter explaining the amount of funding I would receive for the next five years. At Wisconsin on the other hand, I have been accepted, told I will definitely be funded, but have no detailed information yet on the funding package.

hibeuxhereaux Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 FYI: Called UCSC today and they confirmed emails will be sent in March. Apparently there will not be an interview weekend. That's all the information they would divulge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socialpsych Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 For anyone waitlisted at UCSB: I will be releasing a spot today. Best of luck. Edited to add: Mea culpa. I hear they may or may not be accepting more people. Sorry to get anyone's hopes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukegirl09 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 socialpsych: Congrats on having enough options to be able to give up a spot! Now if only we could both hear good news from Princeton and Harvard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyline Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 To the person asking about UCLA health program, were you at the interview last weekend? I got not so great but still hopeful news that I was put on a waitlist for the health program so hopefully someone decides to go somewhere else:) oh and for any one still wondering about UCI they are having interviews this Monday so if you haven't heard from them yet it's probably a rejection.

llcooln6 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 For all those who care.If you have not heard from UC Riverside then you were rejected.All invites and acceptances have been sent out.The same is true with Irvine. Sorry everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msphdhopeful Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Yikes! It seems like after getting good news from a few schools...the rest just seem to be bad...the theme seems as if "if you haven't heard, you're out"...eek! UCLA (health): Hey greyline, no unfortunately I just got straight out rejection, so you're in a much better position than me. Could you tell me how many people were invited to the interview and how many spots? Who was your POI? You can PM, it will help assuage the pain.... UCI: Are you guys talking about the cog sci dept OR psych and soc beh? I did undergrad there and they are two different programs. So another reject I'm guessing.... USC: for social psych, they have already made offers with funding (I applied to developmental). My friend got accepted with a fat financial aid package. On a much happier note, anybody going to Seattle for visit weekend? I'm really looking forward to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socialpsych Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 So uh, the recent Harvard acceptance posts are a fake, yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukegirl09 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 So uh, the recent Harvard acceptance posts are a fake, yes? Yeah. Considering the lovely Rick Roll I got when I flipped out about them and copy/pasted the link...yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDuff Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Yes, I find that posting highly suspect considering the Harvard website clearly states that the only way they indicate admissions decisions (formally, at least) is via postal mail. I think there was a fake Princeton one a while back, too. Sheesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USC: for social psych, they have already made offers with funding (I applied to developmental). My friend got accepted with a fat financial aid package. When did the USC offers go out? I was notified about 2 weeks ago by my poi that final decisions would not be made for several weeks. I was under the impression that if I was out, he would have just come out and said it... Ruh roh.

MacDuff Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Yes, right you are, socialpsych. I meant the acceptance posting only, similar to the presumably bogus Harvard acceptance posting. No character impugning intended for drpsych who did, in fact, receive an interview invite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socialpsych Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Sheesh indeed, though. As a couple ed psych people said yesterday about a suspected fake... If you're going to mess with people on gradcafe, why not mess with the political scientists? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychdork Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 On that note, I'm pretty sure that the Indiana University counseling psych acceptance is a fake. Especially since according to IU's website (which I checked last night), they don't have a counseling psych program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So people are trying to make us anxious about nonexistent programs? :roll: Most pointless thing ever, maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
