watson Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Ok good, I have not gotten interview invites yet to any of my programs but they don't have any info on their websites about interviews. Many of the deadlines for apps were Jan 15 so I thought I wouldn't hear back until Feb at the earliest. I am beginning to think I may be completely wrong. I goes its possible that my programs don't interview but I guess maybe they do and I just assume that Im rejected? Not necessarily--don't give up hope yet! Plenty of programs don't contact til February, and not all do interviews. Wait list offers are made right up until late April.
svh Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 I meant that some schools that don't interview but have a visiting weekend will make offers and invite those students to visit (already accepted but as a way to woo them into picking that school). Only people offered a place before the visit will be accepted--no new offers later. However, (to answer your question) if you're invited to visit and choose NOT to attend the visiting weekend, they won't withdraw your offer....but I can't see a good reason to select a program you didn't bother going to the visiting weekend for if invited. If you got 2 invites to visit schools on the same weekend, tell one program and they'll usually work out another day for you to visit. Hey thanks for the advice. Who do you study with at Northwestern?
svh Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Another question for you, Watson. Suppose you've been accepted by a program. Then, a different program invites you to interview the same visiting weekend as the first. Since you've been accepted by the first program already, do you think it's okay to ask them to schedule a different time to visit (even though you've already told them you could probably make it) so that you can go to interview weekend for the second program? Now, if the first program was just interviewing, I would of course tell the second one I need to reschedule (since they took so dang long to get back to me). But the key here is that the first one already accepted me. Thanks for your responses. I'm sure all the people on here find your experienced answers helpful.

But the key here is that the first one already accepted me. Thanks for your responses. I'm sure all the people on here find your experienced answers helpful. First I'd decide if you have a clear preference for one or the other...if you do, call the lesser-preferred one and try to reschedule. If they're about equal in your mind, I'd send your POI at the visiting weekend school that you have been offered an interview the same weekend and if it would be possible to come another time. The thing is that you'll miss out on meeting the rest of the cohort, and any activities like tour of campus/town/apartments or getting to sit in on colloquium/brownbag/etc. You probably would also miss out on meeting other faculty in depth (I actually recall OSU's visiting weekend to be super structured...I think we had printed schedules and everything). Not an easy choice! Good luck! p.s. I PMed my advisor
svh Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Thanks for the advice! I think I know what I should do now.
galipettes Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Boston College, could you msg me your POI as well? Thanks!
yubby Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 ..so can i assume stanford social psych interviews have all been sent out by now?
Scalia Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 To the person who found out they were rejected from UNC Chapel Hill via website- Is there a website you can log on to check the status of your application?
ATJacks Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Has anyone heard back from I/O doctoral programs?
onthegreatbayou Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Are people getting information about funding at the same time as news of acceptance?
Scalia Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Are people getting information about funding at the same time as news of acceptance? Funding information was conveyed during my interviews with my POI. In other news, just got a rejection from "the dream" school....expected....but still stings a bit....
nbrown07 Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 ATJacks - I haven't heard back from any I/O programs yet (I applied to 2 out of my 6 total).
ATJacks Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 ATJacks - I haven't heard back from any I/O programs yet (I applied to 2 out of my 6 total). If I may ask, to which schools did you apply?
svh Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Funding information was conveyed during my interviews with my POI. In other news, just got a rejection from "the dream" school....expected....but still stings a bit.... Sorry about that... What was the dream school?
svh Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Are people getting information about funding at the same time as news of acceptance? I've had two programs tell the information. I never solicited any of them. I just assume that they will tell me when it's time to actually make a decision. onthegreatbayou 1
Scalia Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Sorry about that... What was the dream school? UNC Chapel Hill Oh well, still have interviews at 3 other schools
psychgurl Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 UNC Chapel Hill Oh well, still have interviews at 3 other schools @Scalia, where did you see this? Is there a special page beyond the application submission page? What area of psych are you?
Scalia Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 @Scalia, where did you see this? Is there a special page beyond the application submission page? What area of psych are you? I emailed the program director because their interview day conflicted with another I was invited to and I wanted to see if I was still in consideration or not. Also, I'm in Quantitative Psych.
6682 Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Would the person who has information about the interview weekend for Animal Behavior & Neuroscience program at Emory be willing to share the interview dates with me/ if you know if invites have been sent yet?
zoltana Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 Hi everyone. I'm applying to Clinical Psych PhD programs. Has anyone heard from Univ of Utah, UCLA, Univ of Kansas, University of Austin Texas (I saw one person got an interview.. but I didn't think it was clinical) or UMaine? I know this week and next week are probably the big weeks to hear from the schools but I would like to know if anyone has already heard from these programs. Thanks
Gibbas Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 I'm curious to know who was the GMU I/O acceptance, and their POI?
duanluo Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 Also, I'm at University of Oregon so happy to answer any questions anyone has about that program. Hi! Do you know that if UO developmental program has been sending interview invites yet?

Thanks UCLA is done, sorry they sent out their interviews last week. There have been some pre-interviews for Texas but I think on-campus interview notifications are going out this week- cross your fingers!
IOPsych87 Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 I'm curious to know who was the GMU I/O acceptance, and their POI? Ditto!
