Aaah invites should be coming out in the next week! Did anybody else have a Skype interview?

 

What a bummer holiday break it will be if the news is bad  :unsure:

Posted

Definitely anxious to hear from them, but I figured: the worst thing that can happen to me is that I'm not invited -- and even then, I'm no worse off than I am right now!

 

Our worth as human beings doesn't depend on our admission to grad school… right? Right?!

I just learned that Claude Steele is now at Berkeley! Good luck to you all:)))

If you don't get invited for an interview, is it safe to say you're 100% going to get a rejection letter?  Or is no news (sometimes) good news?

Posted

For UC Berkeley, it's 99% rejection :( programs usually invite more candidates to interview than they offer admission to, so that pool is both admission students and waitlist students.

At least, that's what I've come to understand...

Did you guys apply to the UC Berkeley Psychology or Neuroscience department? A lot of the professors hold positions in both departments, especially in the Behavioral Neuroscience and Cognition, Brain, & Behavior area. I applied to Neuroscience, but kind of regret it now...

I applied to the Psych department, but I definitely went back and forth trying to decide between that and Neuro. 

 

I know for Psych we should be finding out about interviews today or tomorrow. Trying hard not to check my email and the results page every 30 seconds!

Just re-visited the applicant page at UC Berkeley...

Invitations will be coming out around December 23rd...a.k.a. tomorrow.

Oh. my. goodness.

I'm not nervous, not nervous at all. Not at all. Perfectly calm.

GAAAH!

Are any of these in clinical?

 

Only one result for Yale mentions that it's in clinical. All others just say Psychology - PhD.

For what it's worth, I know someone who was accepted to UC Berkeley's Psychology program after being first denied an interview and later rejected. I believe this student got in solely because of the NSF GRFP. So, if you don't get an interview but you do get federal funding, you might be able to convince the admissions committee otherwise. In fact, this might work for most schools...

Wow, like "you're not good enough for us to accept you, but we will accept that money" LOL

Did any clinical candidates hear from them? There were supposed to be answers today but I didn't get a mail :(

Posted

Haven't heard anything from clinical psych... have the interview invites been sent out by now? I'm learning to cope though :-].

Posted

Hmm. I just got an automated e-mail reply that they're closed for the holidays.

 

It would be funny if they forgot to send them out before vacay

@champagnesupernova do you know if that is for all divisions? (I am specifically interested in clinical.) Thanks...
