db998 Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 After reading through the Neuroscience thread I thought it would be nice to get some news from people applying to Psych programs. Having looked through last year's timing, it looks like most programs send invites a little later--more like January. Anybody hear anything promising yet? Would be nice to share the stress with some other people SportPsych30 1
SportPsych30 Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 My poor gmail account must feel overworked with how often I refresh it. Sure you could argue that its a relieving feeling to be just waiting, which it was for a few days, but to me it is stressful not being able to work on anything now that I am done with apps. Sitting back and waiting is not my style. The IRB at my school is done for the semester, it appears, so I'm playing the waiting game with them as well for my research project.. Thanks for starting this Thread
gellert Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 I don't expect to hear anything until late December at the absolute earliest, so I'm trying to just chill (unless something shows up on results search). Results are mixed.
doefficient Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 Not expecting anything till next month, at least. But that doesn't stop me from constantly refreshing my inbox SportPsych30 1
Domino Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 I've been told by my top choice program that they don't even begin the application review process until after winter break. I think that might be true for a lot of Psych programs.

Domino Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 What school is this, if I may ask? UNC Charlotte But shhh don't tell the other schools that!
db998 Posted December 27, 2013 Author Posted December 27, 2013 A few psych programs started trickling in on the results page (haven't heard anything myself) any news out there!?
ltaylor Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 I haven't quite heard yet, although I had a some one from the department email me to say they don't have my GRE scores (Sent it to the wrong Denver university!) and then when I sent them, shortly after, I received an email saying that my application was sent for review and read as a very non-generic manner. Now I am not sure if this "review" is just acknowledging that my application is complete, or if this is positive news (such as they liked what they saw and wanted to confirm that my scores were really what they were). Still waiting back from all the others though!

ihatechoosingusernames Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 Yeah, I'm not expecting anything until mid to late January. This is driving me insane. I just want to know!
ratlab Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 It's been driving me nuts, but then I realized that it's only been two weeks since my deadlines have passed..so I feel kind of silly (but still frustrated) now..
MsDarjeeling Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 Yeah I don't expect to hear anything this early either, especially since some deadlines are early January.
Sevenoffs Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 I'm also obsessively refreshing my poor gmail. Everyone I know that's in school has told me mid-January or later. I'm just concerned because SFU has set their interview date for January 31st! I wonder when they send out the information, since it's creeping up on the date. behavioralneuronerd 1
iammaffyou Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Has anyone heard from UC Davis, Stony Brook, UB (Behavioral Neuro), WVU, CUNY
behavioralneuronerd Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Has anyone heard from UC Davis, Stony Brook, UB (Behavioral Neuro), WVU, CUNY I haven't heard from WVU... my source told me they didn't start discussing applicants until late last week, so I'm hoping the radio silence just means they're not done yet; not that I am softly rejected "/
boogidywoogidy Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 UNC Charlotte But shhh don't tell the other schools that! The PI in my lab told me that at leas the clinical department at UNC Charlotte is meeting this week to discuss applicants. Not sure if that means they will make a decision this week or not, but it at least means they have just begun the process. I can't believe it is taking them this long given that the application was due before any of my others!

maiwalker Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Hi! Anyone applying in UW Seattle developmental psych program? Have they emailed invites/decisions yet? Thanks!
db998 Posted January 17, 2014 Author Posted January 17, 2014 I got an invite from a different psych program at UW, so my guess would be yours won't be far behind now. Good luck to everyone, it seems like invites are coming in quick now!

It's becoming harder and harder to function well and act normally while under the agonizing pain of waiting!
neuroscienceuser Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Gotten invites from Brown and NYU, hoping for Columbia Psych, when do you think it's appropriate to call and check in?
alyoshakaramazov Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Hi! Anyone applying in UW Seattle developmental psych program? Have they emailed invites/decisions yet? Thanks! Aah! I'm in the same boat. Have you heard yet?
