psychology Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Hi all! I've been lurking here a while, but finally decided to join the fun. Anyway, I just checked the Results Search and saw that someone had an interview at UC Boulder... I'm wondering--- if that person is out there (or if anyone else knows)-- does Boulder have an interview weekend or was this an interview conducted via e-mail? Ugh... I really wish they could just do my application first so that I could get all the good and bad news out of the way instead of having to wait for it Thanks!
ChivPowers Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 I applied to UC- Boulder last year and was flown out for interview weekend around February. Unless the economy got to 'em, you'd get an "interview" in Boulder.
SharperImage Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 Anyone hear anything back from Boulder?? Noticed someone posted something regarding the Behavioral Neuroscience program, but nothing else. I applied to the Social Psych program, and they don't give you too much info regarding an application status check.
MacDuff Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 I, too, am curious for the social psych subgroup. To help assuage my slight (ha!) obsessiveness, I did a results search for UC-Boulder social psych and it appears that they have a later-than-typical notification timeline. Last year, someone posted that they were notified about an interview on 2/20 for the 3/13-3/16 interview weekend. This makes some sense considering they have one of the later app. deadlines (1/01). GL and I'll let you know if I hear anything, too.
SharperImage Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Saw the Cog applicant post on the results page--hear anything from social/of anyone else hearing MacDuff??
MacDuff Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Nope, nothing yet, SharperImage. I emailed the grad coordinator about 1.5 weeks ago with an unrelated question but she did share that the social dept. does have the apps for review.
amander Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Hey guys. I applied to the social psych program at Boulder as well. But I want to go the social neurosci route if I get in. Haven't heard anything back yet, aside from the initial communication with my faculty member of interest. The waiting part sucks...
SharperImage Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Admissions decisions will be made at the end of this week...good luck all.
amander Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Do you think it would be beneficial to "harass" my POI again this week with some brilliant question or something to help stand out from the pack? I know at St. Andrews my potential supervisor had nothing to do with the initial round of admissions decisions, so I got an interview regardless of all my communications with him (and there have been a ton). But things are different for States schools...does the POI usually decide who to interview or is in the committee's hands?
icantdeletethis Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Admissions decisions will be made at the end of this week...good luck all. Cool (so I hope). How did you catch wind of that vital information?
MacDuff Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 *crickets* ShaperImage, any word on your end yet?
johann Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 hi, any one hear any news from Boulder? I applied to the social program but still get nothing yet. Thanks!
Psychosin Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 I've called them up for the social program and they seemed secretive about the whole process. They weren't able to give me any useful information as initially they told me they didn't have access to the files. But, I was able to leave them my number and someone called back saying that around mid to late February we can start to expect to hear anything.
SharperImage Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Has anyone else been invited to interview weekend at Boulder (Mar. 6-7)??
amander Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Still haven't heard anything. I guess if you got an invite already and I haven't heard, things aren't looking good for me
msphdhopeful Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Nothing on my end either. Guess that means I'm out of the running....
icantdeletethis Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 I got my rejection the end of last week, albeit a baffling one. Apparently, my master's degree and perfect research match with more than one prof, do not fulfill the top two qualifications they look for: "potential for success in program & cognitive science, and degree of match b/t faculty and applicant's research interests." uuhhhh.... yeah, ok. their loss.
SharperImage Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Anyone else going to Boulder this weekend?? PM me if so. Otherwise, good luck to all of those still waiting on other schools.
SharperImage Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Yeah, I'll be the one with the knitted Big Bird sweater on, pink nail polish and green Airwalks. I'll save a seat for you right next to me...hope you done mind the smell of patchouli.
ammo1 Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Dearest ShaperImage, I will be the one with the long bangs covering my glass eye. I will be drunk the entire weekend, hope you don't mind the smell of Mad Dog 20/20. Also, hope you don't mind if I puke on your sweater... multiple times. We sound like we'll really hit it off, can't wait to meet you!
