Columbia Psychology interview invites

[Lighto]

Hello,

 

I am curious to know if Columbia Psychology department has sent out interview invites for Fall 2015 -- and I do not mean phone interviews, but an official email from Columbia?

I applied but haven't heard anything myself yet. Their website indicates it will happen in January. Here is what I copied and pasted off their website:

Admission - The Interview Invitation

In January, selected students will be contacted by faculty either by phone or email and invited to attend ‘Prospective Days’ at Columbia. Prospective Days are held over a long weekend in late February so these applicants can gain a first hand knowledge of the Psychology faculty, the current students and the program in general. It also provides the faculty with the opportunity to interact with prospective students to determine the degree of matching interests. The final selection of students occurs after this weekend.

While students who will be admitted will be contacted soon after by the department, the formal offer will come from the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in email. Official notification from the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences about admission decisions will be mailed mid-March.

Interview invites were sent out 12/17. ~20 people were invited if I remember correctly. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!

Were the interview invites for Social psych?  Or some other sub-specialty?

They were for everyone sent by grad admissions director for the official interview weekend end of January

I can understand why they don't do this, but man I wish they would tell everyone who didn't get an interview right away that they were rejected. A lot less stress in the long run...

Has anyone heard from TC (clinical)?
