hahaha1234 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Congrats to everyone who has already received interview invites! I wonder what's the likelihood of being accepted to the program if being invited to its visiting weekend? I would really appreciate any advice on how should I prepare for the visiting weekend. Also, I wonder how do you usually deal with scheduling conflicts (i.e., two interviews at the same time, midterm, etc)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punky Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I have heard of some emails going out to temple clinical psychology applicants. does any know if these emails are from the department or the POI's.

PsychWill Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I applied to mostly social programs with a neuro/cognitive focus. Got accepted into UMich without an interview! Truly wasn't expecting that. And they called on Christmas Eve... Also have an interview for USC that will be on Jan 15th. artsy16 and JoePianist 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mylifeinshambles Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Hey guys, not sure if someone already asked this but how are you preparing for visiting weekends? What kind of questions are appropriate to ask the POI and current grad students prior to the interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of questions are appropriate to ask the POI and current grad students prior to the interview? Right now I am making a list of things that would be really important for me to know in the case that I get multiple offers, though I've already chatted with some of their graduate students... but I know not many people do this tho... Some of the things I want to know with how they handle challenges graduate students commonly encounter, what they feel their role is in science communication and translational policy is, what they feel their role in teaching "unofficial curriculum" stuff (e.g. learning to socialize in the field, learning healthy and successful behaviors, learning metacognitive skills). I also want to know about their authorship practices, and a decent amount about their thought on research ethics and the role it plays... I don't know if that helps you think about it, but that has helped me boil down what I need to get out of interviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smith2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 XYZ university contact every one in the mid of december for an interview; apparently, the same day. What should expect if they do not email nor call me? Does it mean that I was not accepted or I will receive a rejection letter? Please, help me! this waiting is killing me.

That's the beauty of these forums. If you see that interviews went out and you weren't invited for one, you get a soft rejection earlier than when official rejection letters finally go out. Sometimes they are around March, but a lot of times you don't hear anything until April 15th (or even worse when you get an actual letter in the mail mid-summer when you're smack dab in the middle of an existential crisis. Not that I've been there or anything, haha) It also stinks, but at least you don't have to wait as long. Piagetsky and smith2016 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
