a.arcane Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 I miss reading this thread. Where has everyone gone? How is everyone faring? Rejections: 5 Interview: 1 Unknown:3
juror#1 Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 I miss reading this thread. Where has everyone gone? How is everyone faring? I was doing bad yesterday after a rejection, but just got a phone call from my top choice saying I was the first student they chose to accept! Take that other school! Acceptances: 2 Interviews: 3 Rejections: 1
JSocial86 Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 I saw the UMass rejection via website and was hoping to finally get some information about my admission status. Nope, still "applied" showing as the status.
Viola Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 I saw the UMass rejection via website and was hoping to finally get some information about my admission status. Nope, still "applied" showing as the status. The same thing with me. However, I've pretty much given up hope on UMass. This is my situation so far: applied: 5 accepted: 1 interview: 1 unknown: 3
Jtdrum10 Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 I'm really tired of not hearing from places. Its getting ridiculous! Applied: 12 Interviewed: 1 Wait listed: 1 Rejected: 1 Accepted: 1 (informally)

psychdork Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 @socialpsychg - Congrats on the Penn State acceptance! Did they have interviews? Would you mind sharing your POI? I haven't heard anything from them so I've pretty much written them off, but I'm still curious.

Take that other school! Acceptances: 2 Interviews: 3 Rejections: 1 Other school can suck it! Congratulations!

Applied: 12 Interviewed: 1 Wait listed: 1 Rejected: 1 Accepted: 1 (informally) @JTdrum10 - Just a note, I was waitlisted at Kansas last year (rejected this year!) and found Dr. Biernat to be very gracious. In case she hasn't told you- she actually told me my position on the waitlist.

In case she hasn't told you- she actually told me my position on the waitlist. I was thinking of e-mailing her and finding out where I am on the list. And I agree, she is very gracious!
juror#1 Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 Other school can suck it! Congratulations! I concur haha! Thanks!
JSocial86 Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 Has anyone emailed their POIs for admissions info? I was recommended to do this, but at the same time I don't want to come off as impatient. Any thoughts or experiences regarding this?
psychdork Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 Has anyone emailed their POIs for admissions info? I was recommended to do this, but at the same time I don't want to come off as impatient. Any thoughts or experiences regarding this? I didn't want to bug my POIs, so last year I emailed the department secretaries instead. The only time I emailed my POI to ask about admissions info was for one school where my POI was also the head of the department, and the secretary told me to email her for more information. This year I'm trying to not cave into the temptation to contact the programs first...we'll see how long this lasts! For what it's worth, I really think that whether you would come off as impatient and might potentially offend the POI really depends on the POI.

I haven't heard anything from them so I've pretty much written them off, but I'm still curious. She had called me over the phone once before, and their was no formal interview. The acceptance/recruiting weekend is around March 17th(?). I'll send my POI to you guys through PM - if anyone else is curious, just send me a message.
voidintent Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 I heard the psychology department at UC Riverside extended 12 offers for all areas, and their recruitment weekend is March 4-7. I don't know how many people UCR admitted but I do know that the recruitment weekend is the 4th-7th. I think UCR has a waitlist, though, so if you didn't get a rejection letter I'm betting you're on the waitlist. Strawberryfields/Pharcyde, who has your PI? I'm just curious.

Anita Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 I noticed two of you applied to two of *my* schools that I was under the impression nobody else applied to! I'm really tired of not hearing from places. Its getting ridiculous! Applied: 12 Interviewed: 1 Wait listed: 1 Rejected: 1 Accepted: 1 (informally) Who did you applied to at Mizzou (I assume it's Mizzou, not UMO St Louis or whatever their other campuses are)? I went to interview weekend there. I applied to Ken Sheldon, who emailed me a week ago saying he doesn't have any funding this year and therefore isn't taking anyone. Not sure about the others. Just checked mine - mine updated to denied. Who did you applied to at Wisc? I believe their results are out, at least for me.

I know that one person posted a result (was that you?), but I haven't heard of anything else. I checked the site, and my application is still under review. Edited February 27, 2010 by socialpsychg

I know that one person posted a result (was that you?), but I haven't heard of anything else. I checked the site, and my application is still under review. Yup, that was me. The department accepted me, but they have yet to recommend my admission to the graduate school. My app status is still "Pending" too. I guess it'll stay that way until I'm accepted by the grad school itself. Funny how these things work.
jhmoss1812 Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 So I just got back from FSU's Interview Weekend....what an amazing time. I really hope I get in there. If anyone has any questions about what an interview weekend is like (Thurs-Sun), let me know and I'd be more than happy to talk about my experience.

I'm a fan of both!
deleteuser_184321 Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Has anyone heard from the U Mass - Amherst Psychology of Peace and Violence program?
jhmoss1812 Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Sweet! Did you see Baumeister and Ericsson? I'm a fan of both! No I didn't get to see either. Baumeister/Tice are in California and I'm not sure about Ericsson. That would have been cool though
Viola Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 Has anyone heard from the U Mass - Amherst Psychology of Peace and Violence program? Not a peep.
