I applied to 11 (10 Marketing, 1 Social and Decision Science) programs last year. Surprisingly, it was only the "safety" schools that rejected me. I got into all the ones I expected to be reaches.

This is the type of thinking I need right now!

Hello Everyone, thanks for starting this thread. It's good to connect with fellow applicants. Now I''ll share my profile as well. It's probably not as good as it should be. but I'm shooting for the black swan here.

Type of Undergrad: Pharmaceutical Sciences - Top University in Cairo, Egypt (GPA: 2.75)

Type of Grad: MBA with a major in HR/Leadership and Marketing. Top Business School in Cairo, Egypt (GPA: 3.45)

GRE: Score not out yet. but according to the averages, >1500

Research Experience: worked as a research assistant for a year didn't do much research but worked on many projects with the faculty.

LORs: From the Dean of School of Business, the Chair of Management Department and the last one from the Associate Dean of Graduate Studies. They are supposed to be the top business scholars in Egypt, emphasis on supposed.

SOP: I think it's well written.

Schools: 11 programs (8 PhDs, 3 MAs) I went mainly with good fit regardless of school prestige.

PhDs: Uni of Utah, Rutgers, UMich, Uni of Washington and others

Masters: Queen's University. Tilburg University, Columbia QMSS.

That's pretty much it. I know my profile is sub-par for most of these schools. but again, I think it's worth a shot.

Good Luck to all of us.

anyone know what is the general timeline of admission responses (interviews, visits, acceptance)?? For psych, most people get interviews around mid-Jan to Feb from what I have heard, but I dunno if thats the same for OB

Posted

I think it's fairly similar for OB. Applicants usually get contacted by late Jan/Feb for interviews. You can expect offers from mid Feb until April....

To get a better feel for the timeline at a particular school search the results survey here on gradcafe!

good luck!!!

The suspense is kinda killing me~!!!!

I really just applied to throw it out there and see if I get any offers. However, I do want to teach and I'm having a hell of a time finding any CC adjunct positions as a master's level I-O psychologist...

I've read that these programs may request an interview, does anyone know what that entails? I guess getting into one of these programs is a big deal. Best of luck to everyone! I'll be sure to let you all know as soon as I hear anything. It is strangely quiet now...when I was applying three years ago there seemed to be more going on?

Regards,

Mike

I also applied to this program. I heard that someone has got an interview last week.

Did anyone get an interview invite from U Maryland Smith School for Management/ Organizations?

I saw on results page that someone got an interview....

Does Smith usually admit all that gets interviewed?

I also applied to this program. I heard that someone has got an interview last week.

Have you heard anything from them? I heard a rumor that they made offers last week.

Yes. I also heard that they've made decisions last Friday. I think it might be true. I'm waiting for the rejection. hah.

What is going on??? I did see someone posted an interview for Berkeley last week...

Seems like some pretty knowledgeable people following this thread and commenting (btw thanks), so here's the question:

Is no news good news?

My friend and I (both I-O psych) have talked about a theory of how being contacted later in the game for jobs, specifically, means that you're a backup in case the top candidate doesn't accept an offer. This supposed theory can obviously be completely incorrect depending on situational factors of course, but is there anyone who thinks there's a time frame where, if you haven't been contacted whatsoever, you're dead in the water (when would that be, e.g., 1-2 weeks into March)?

Love to hear some insight, and maybe one of us will be contacted while we over-analyze every angle of applying for PhD programs!

Agree. this is what I think. I got an interview in Mid Jan and heard of nothing after that. For sure I consider myself rejected...

One exception may be that if the prof told you to wait a month, then just wait a month.
