Has anyone else applied to any of these institutions and if so were you contacted? Hey! I talked to my POI before Christmas and was invited to interview at NYU.

C is for Caps Locks Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) Hi! Didn't apply to PSSI (just the Psych Department), sent you a PM about my POI. Edited January 19, 2017 by C is for Caps Locks
OptimiscallyAnxious Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Just received my first official rejection (UCLA). I guess since I knew it was coming, I hadn't been invited to interview, it didn't sting as much as I had expected. Still I'm a bit disappointed. johnallen 1
veileddreamer Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 FYI: insider info that I really trust suggests that all UNC-Chapel Hill psychology decisions have been made. So, there's that.
Rainydays Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Has anyone heard from CUNY, Wayne State University, Carnegie Mellon University, University of Kansas, and Cornell University? I didn't see much discussion about these programs. Just wondering, how popular is this forum among grad applicants? Maybe lots of applicants who received interviews and acceptances never post here.

(The warm weather of Texas, a chance to meet some awesome peeps, and to seem some great research was super tempting though.) Edited January 20, 2017 by C is for Caps Locks

I'm not sure which program you are referencing with CUNY. But I applied to The Graduate Center (CUNY) - Critical Social/Personality Psychology program and I emailed to see the status of my application. I was told that they only invited 10 people for interviews on 2/8 and that I am on a waitlist and will be updated in mid-February (womp :/ ). Best of luck!

If the OP was talking about the Basic and Applied social program at CUNY GC, I have not heard anything either. I interviewed there a few years ago, and they had a pretty large crowd of interviewees-- so if the program has already sent out invites, it seems unlikely that nobody has indicated anything here (or perhaps that's just wishful thinking ). Maybe some programs are holding out until SPSP ends?

Do you know how many interviewees and acceptances they usually have?
marsbars Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Anyone else apply to Kentucky? I realize that in the past that they had interviews at the end of January... I'm getting nervous.

By the way, does a large crowd of interviewees mean they will decline lots of them after the interview? Do you know how many interviewees and acceptances they usually have? Hi! If memory serves, there were maybe 10-12 other potential applicants back when I interviewed. I believe that all interviewees, if not accepted into the program, were entered into a waitlist. BASP is huge (~20 faculty members), so they probably took at least 4 or 5 people (although I'm not exactly sure of that number). As a general note, the interview experience there was lovely... to this day, I still keep in contact with one of the other students I met at the interview! Feel free to PM if you have other questions-- but just to qualify my post, things may have changed in the past few years. Best wishes to all who applied... I hope we all hear back soon!

I know Penn State did some phone screens, but anything about interview weekend? I don't know who your POI is @ Boston College, but I talked to James Russell at SPSP yesterday. He said he won't take any students this year, and all the applicant profiles have been sent to Liane Young. They received around 150+ applications, and Young is reviewing them right now.

Blackwater Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 When going to an interview weekend and you are meeting with profs that are not your POI what questions do you have prepared to ask them?
Blackwater Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 Congrats!!!! That is a very impressive list. Out of curiosity, why did you turn down the interview at Rutgers? 46 minutes ago, momoeatspie said: Hi everyone! I'm new to grad cafe and actually just recently heard about it. I've heard back from a few programs. Here are the updates: I've been accepted to Waterloo and Ohio State (cried lots of tears at this news). Have interviews at: UC Irvine, Miami University, NYU, British Columbia, Indiana University, UC Santa Barbara, and Carnegie Mellon. And then I turned down University of Rochester and Rutgers for interviews.

Do you have questions for your POI that aren't necessarily about them? Like how supportive the department is of student work, funding opportunities, how collaborative and supportive the environment is, what direction the program is going and how you play a role in that, what they wish they knew going into grad school, etc.? You can ask grad students these things too, and compare answers between students and faculty. 01848p and Blackwater 2
01848p Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 How do you guys remember all the questions you want to ask?
