ChitownSVL Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 Hey - Thought I would start a thread for anyone who is applying to developmental programs for fall of 2013. Where are you applying? Where are you in the process? Have you contacted profs yet?
jmbrown88 Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 I'm in the process of finishing all ten of my apps. Not too worried about contacting poi's or anything, except to find out if there still taking applicants thats about it. I'll probably submit everything by early to mid October.
JessHooi Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 I'm applying to 6 different programmes, a narrowed down list after contacting some POIs. Aim to complete submission by mid Nov. I'm taking my GRE psych in 3 weeks time and retaking my GRE at the end of Oct. Working on Statement of Purpose now.
ChitownSVL Posted September 26, 2012 Author Posted September 26, 2012 Surprised that there are not more people applying to Developmental Psych programs!
breezyd Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 Hey, I'm in the process for applying to developmental programs. Planning on applying to 7. Hoping to have all applications done by November, as well. Just retook the GRE yesterday morning! Have contacted a few POIs, which has greatly helped me narrow the programs down (I originally had a list of 20!)
MeekoKeeko Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 I'm considering a few Developmental Programs, but I can't seem to find much information regarding funding and GRE scores etc, compared to Clinical programs. Are Developmental programs equally as funded? THANKS!
ChitownSVL Posted November 4, 2012 Author Posted November 4, 2012 Breezyd - where are you applying? If you don't want to post, feel from to private message me. Good luck! Sodapop - Yes, there are many, many programs that provide full funding. You are correct though, it is much more difficult to find data for previous applicants (GRE, GPA, etc). You might want to email the individual programs if you are concerned.
Leftheel Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 Good luck Dev Psych applicants! I got through it last year and I'm sure you all can too. Now studying at UNC Chapel Hill and happy to answer any questions about the process.
ChitownSVL Posted December 28, 2012 Author Posted December 28, 2012 Hi, anyone heard back about interview for dev. programs, if so anyone interviewed either in person or by phone yet?
+Whiskey Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 I applied to a couple of developmental programs (also social and evolutionary programs). I got an invitation to interview weekend for Oklahoma State's lifespan developmental program on the 23rd of December. I haven't heard from any other schools so far. I've seen some other developmental programs in the results section though.
eduKate Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Has anyone gotten an interview for a developmental psych program yet? I see that srkr is interviewing at OK State, anyone else?
Marisari Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 I think so? I got an email from a POI at UC Santa Cruz asking me for project ideas that we could work on if I was in her lab. After answering, she told me that she wasn't sure at first if I'd be a good fit, so she'd emailed me to check. Now she wants to talk more about my ideas and answer some of my questions. The word 'interview' was never used, so I'm not sure if this counts. Also, I'm not sure if any of you are interested in Cornell's HD program, but I know that their admissions committee is almost done coming up with their "long list", which they'll soon send to professors so they can come up with their interview list. Apparently, not many people applied this year.
Pretty_Penny Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 (edited) I believe I had an informal sort of phone interview with my POI at the University of Maryland on Sunday. And I just received an email from my POI at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor about scheduling a phone interview this week. Edited January 8, 2013 by Shmanks
eecandz Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Hey @Saritasarita, I was just wondering, where did you happen to get the information about Cornell's HD program? (Just curious since I have an application in for Fall 2013) Thanks for posting about it!
Marisari Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 I don't want to say too much about myself for privacy's sake, but I am in the dept. and I heard directly and in no uncertain terms from a very reliable source
Pretty_Penny Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Today I received an email inviting me to Penn State's interview weekend, Feb. 8-9.
veggiez Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 I am applying to mostly developmental programs, with a few cognitive programs. So far, I've only really heard back from the cognitive programs. Yesterday I received two emails inviting me to interview weekends i February: one from Pitt (cognitive) and one from LSU (cognitive/developmental program). I also had a Skype interview at Penn state (again, for a cognitive program) last week, but haven't received a formal invitation to the interview weekend, although the faculty member with whom I interviewed did tell me that was the next step. I hope everyone else is getting good news, considering I have seen that a lot of interview weekend invitations have gone out this week.
Marisari Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Have any of you submitted work to SRCD? They just sent back their acceptances/ rejections... I'm so excited!
seagle423 Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Has anyone applied to/heard back from UC San Diego, UC Davis, or UCLA Developmental programs?
Marisari Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Today I was invited to UBC's graduate recruitment weekend (Feb 8-9) during an interview. I've also got an interview scheduled for tomorrow from another UC Santa Cruz professor. I'm not totally sure what either of these things precisely mean, but I'm SO excited! I hope you guys are having a great day, too!
jillionaire Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 So far I've only heard from University of Washington Seattle. I had a phone interview this weekend with my POI that did not go smoothly, but I'm remaining hopeful for an invite to the interview weekend. I'm still waiting to hear something (anything!) back from University of Michigan Ann-Arbor, University of Chicago, Columbia Teacher's College, and Harvard (social program). Someone please let me know if you've heard back from any of these institutions, I'm going nuts!
Pretty_Penny Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) Hey Jillionaire, I had a phone interview with my POI at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. My POI informed me the board was going to meet Monday (yesterday) and should know shortly after that (I'm assuming that means they'll know who they are inviting to interview weekend.) Hope this helps! Edited January 15, 2013 by Shmanks
eecandz Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Just got an email from POI at Virginia Tech's Developmental and Biological Psychology Ph.D. program (through the Psychology Department) asking to have a short phone interview with me sometime this week.
Tolman's Rat Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Seems that Berkeley will be sending out invitations for cognitive/developmental programs by the end of the week – interview weekend Feb. 11/12.
