Display_Name_ Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 17 hours ago, That Research Lady said: I was checking the page to see if anyone heard from UConn since I too forgot to ask ? I told myself last week that I wouldn't stress after interviews but here I am....stressing lol Hahah naturally, it's impossible not to. I wound up going through all the past acceptances and interview dates cause I'm insane. It seems like in the past, people have heard back around 2 weeks later (which feels like an eternity). I'm thinking that they'll probably discuss how interviews went at lab meeting (wednesday) so at the very least we probably shouldn't expect to hear anything before then. Best of luck!

HopefullyDr Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I am so confused (and also frustrated). At the beginning of application season, I got two interview invitations fairly quickly and then was offered admission to my second choice. This gave me some confidence about the my applications, but I've received more rejections. I am feeling insecure and, although I am thrilled that I was accepted into a program, I am wondering if I have tricked a school into accepting me. If I only am being wanted at one school, am I actually qualified for obtaining a Ph.D? I still have to wait for a few schools to send decisions, but I am fairly certain that they will be rejection letters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind that you can only attend one school, so one acceptance is really just as valuable as several! Another thing to keep in mind is that qualifications have much less to do than fit in these programs, so the programs that rejected you likely did not do so because they thought you were unqualified. = Congrats on the acceptance! It is an enormous accomplishment, and you should feel very proud! Psychoplasmics, Louvre, tomorrowforgotten and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psych0627 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I know I've already asked about UVA clinical here, but does anyone have confirmation that UVA clinical interviews have already happened/ invites to interview have been extended? (Not Curry School). It seems odd that so little has been posted on the results board. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ServeNStudy Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 BU Poster, congrats on your acceptance email! If you're willing, would you please PM me your POI's initials? Waiting with bated breath over here for a clue one way or the other. Interviews felt good but you never know how other candidates compare. Many thanks.

I had a similar experience, got two interview invites within an hour of each other on the same day and it's been radio silence from every other school I applied to. I got waitlisted at both...so...at least you have an offer! Also, don't forget how difficult these programs are to get into. Getting an offer at 1 is impressive. Congrats!

This experience is very taxing but I know that the career at the end will be worth it. I hope that one of the programs takes you off of the wait-list. Getting that far is more than most people!

Given how ruthless the scrutiny is at every school, you should absolutely banish the thought that you tricked anyone into giving you admission. This cycle the admissions process has apparently been brutal. There have been a greater number of applicants this year than ever before. So if someone has offered you admission, it is because they think you are the perfect fit for them. Nothing else. And admission depends on so many factors that have nothing to do with your specific skill sets that I don't think anyone should take a rejection personally. You have got one. That's the exact number of places you can say yes to. So say yes and congratulate yourself.

In my experience, there are a lot of political, behind-the-scenes, stuff that takes place to determine which POIs even get to accept students, so there are a lot of factors out of the control of applicants even.

Thanks again! I was reading somewhere that getting admission into a Clinical Psychology PhD program is more difficult that any other admission at the graduate level. More difficult than getting into law school, medical school, engineering school - anything. Getting in ANYWHERE is a fabulous achievement. Well done. Now go out and do some incredible research!
