annie11 Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Would the two OSU social psych acceptances please PM me your POIs? I thought the results will come out later this week...;-l I would greatly appreciate your message. Thanks in advance!
coffeeaddict29 Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 First rejection letter of the season... U of Mich. Ouch.
Mystic_Fog Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 I almost have a mini heart attack every time I see a school I applied to on the search results page, before noticing it's all for clinical programs right now! I applied to the Rutgers New Brunswick, but out of curiosity, if the people who got invites from Rutgers Newark wouldn't mind sharing their POI (over PM) that would be great!

Yeah, I applied to Rutgers New Brunswick for social psych as well, but I'm confused-- what parts of psych are located at Newark and what parts are at New Brunswick?

I've no idea. I saw that my POI was located in New Brunswick so that's the one I applied to when the application asked me to specify. jzp406 1

Both campuses have social, developmental, cog, etc. The main difference I think is the clinical at NB and the differences between the neuroscience depts. jzp406 1
PinkFreud22 Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 Just wondering if anyone has heard from UCSB? I'm guessing interview invites already went out but haven't seen any posts about it.

ihatechoosingusernames Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Hey! Anyone on here apply for the Applied Social/Community Psych program at Portland State and get the phone interview? If so, would you care to PM me your POI?
sociallyawkard Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 On 1/11/2016 at 3:34 PM, jzp406 said: I knew I wanted to go to grad school during undergrad but didn't want to go straight through. So I wanted to find a job as a research assistant or lab manager in the interim. Towards the end of my senior year of undergrad, I emailed professors across the US with whom I was interested in working. I let them know I was interested in their work and asked if I would be able to find a full-time research position working with them. Those with labs, it was easier to ask something along the lines of "do you have space in your lab?" I definitely wanted to find a paid position, but if you're looking for just experience, you can say that too or leave off the "full-time" employment. You can say you are looking for a position to better prepare yourself for a doctoral program in social psychology. Fair warning, most people I emailed didn't have funding for an extra research assistant. But I found something eventually. Good luck! Thanks jzp, this is really helpful.

I'm still anxiously waiting to hear back from the other programs. For research not affiliated with your institution, I know lab managing is usually an option at another institution if you choose to take a gap year which may or may not be appealing to you. You could also look into Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) through NSF which I have heard very positive things about. I'm sure things will work out for you because you sound very dedicated to and interested in research. Thanks again jre. Congratulations on your interviews. best luck with those you are still waiting on.
shortstack51 Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) Could the Clark U interview PM me your POI if it's not too much trouble? Thanks! Edited January 19, 2016 by shortstack51

bhsocial Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Just curious if anyone has heard from either Cornell or UVA.

Applied to both and have heard nothing. However, they both typically notify in late January, so it's expected. If they stay true to form, I think there should be something next week from both, but if they're behind it could be following week. Would you mind PM-ing me your other schools? Interested to see if we have any others in common Edited January 22, 2016 by Freudian_Slip Typos
everythingisfine Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Did anyone apply to CUNY? I saw their invites went out and I'm incredibly disappointed because my POI and I had the exact same research interests which is incredibly difficult to find for me. I know research focus changes over time and all but still, v disappointed.

Usually the POIs aren't looking for folks with exact same research interests because they want their students to be able to contribute something new. Sometimes they are just looking for someone with similar interests that can take the field in a new direction. It's of course certainly disappointing, but it may not have anything to do with your application, they may just be short on funding too. I hope another school works out for you, and if not there's always next year! everythingisfine 1

Neither my mentors or my PIs mentioned this in considering research interests so I hadn't really thought about it in this way.
Boronmage Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 I am a first time applicant so the process is a bit daunting for me. I just turned down a full time research position at a think tank in order to wait for graduate responses. Is it normal to not have heard something by now? I applied to CUNY - Basic and Applied Stony Brook WashU Tufts Wisconsin Madison Northwestern Purdue University of Maryland If anyone knows anything I would be extremely thankful
PinkFreud22 Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 I know the Purdue social psychology interviews have already been extended. I'm not sure about the other places you listed.
