stereopticons Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Unfortunately they didn't make that decision until about a week and half ago. We were all shocked. Yeah, I figured it was a recent decision. It's disappointing, though.
BfastofChamps Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Yeah, I figured it was a recent decision. It's disappointing, though. Yeah... Really appreciate the news though! Still nice knowing now rather than later. Thanks, Watson.
Peaceful Learner Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) Unfortunately they didn't make that decision until about a week and half ago. We were all shocked. We decided not to bring in any new students for social this year. Labs are pretty full and profs think the lackluster academic job market warrants holding back on accepting students (so they don't graduate to unemployment). We cancelled our interview weekend. Well...this news is EXTREMELY disappointing to read (sigh). I did, however, have an understanding that few profs at Northwestern (the purple dream as I've been calling it) were reviewing new applicants with the intent to accept. Northwestern's program and profs are really awesome from the outside looking in and it seems as though it will remain that way. Watson, best of luck to you during the rest of your journey and thank you for the info. I guess the fantasies of being sleeped deprived in Evanston are ostensibly over. Just tell me one thing: when you walk through the department is the Tron Legacy soundtrack song, "The Son of Flynn," or the A Beautiful Mind soundtrack song, "A Kaleidoscope of Mathematics," playing as you feverishly write a novel experiment idea in your notebook on your way to a 'brown-bag' like they do in my daydreams (since submitting my dreams/daydreams are really weird). Wait--don't tell me. Some things are best left to the imagination. I don't know about anyone else, but one of the main reasons I can't wait to hear about admissions decisions is so that my mind will stop creating weird dreams and daydreams about being in grad school. I'm sure if we receive the privilege of being admitted we will dream about getting out at some point in the near future. Edited January 15, 2013 by Peaceful Learner kaister 1

I can't say either has played while I was walking to brown bag at NU, but growing up John Nash was one of my neighbors and if he walked past you in the neighborhood someone was bound to start humming that song after the movie came out (I was in high school back then). The NU faculty had originally planned to accept some new students but then it turned out that this year only a maximum of 1 student will graduate from the area (the 5th years didn't have job market luck and prefer to stay another year at NU rather than post-doc...the exception is the student who is looking for jobs outside academia). Thus the labs were full and to a certain degree morale took a hit. But rest easy, I haven't heard of any other school pulling the same thing.

I appreciate the encouraging words and the info. It is comforting to know that I don't have to make an internal attribution for not being admitted into one of the top programs on my list. I wish you and your peers/colleagues well, and I hope morale rebounds. The job market is a tough, but keep the faith.

VAN144 Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Has anyone heard anything from Michigan? This seems to be just about the time that a bunch if interviews/waitlists/rejections went out in previous years...
NoMoreActive Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 I noticed that many of u guys applied Notre Dame Psy Department, but I found that Notre Dame only ranked 79 in psy in usnews ranking. Anyone mind to tell me the reason?
GingerbreadLatte Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 ^ Okay, I'll take the bait. Notwithstanding that rankings are only one component of how we choose schools...ND may not be an elite program but not everyone is an elite applicant. Consider also the importance of "fit" in research interests between students and faculty. And in USNWR's ranking of "national universities" - the de facto "overall" rankings - ND is #17. Make no mistake, ND overall is a respected research university. No student will be ashamed to say they're a Fighting Irish. Unless they're playing football. Quant_Liz_Lemon 1
