meep95 Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Oh gosh that is horrible! I found out that one of my recommenders the year prior did not send the letter of rec. for 3 schools for a student. So she basically wasted $300 and a lot of effort on schools that she could have gotten in to. I luckily found out that she did this a month before my first school deadline, so I was able to remind her a few times to send them in time.
ClincPsyc Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 To the poster that got accepted at UCLA - would you mind PMing me the initials of your POI please? Thanks!

MrTree Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Hi all, I hope offers are starting coming in. I have a question though: generally how long will I hear back from school about decisions after the interview?

I emailed POI two months ago (POI: DC). He told me that he had a lot of applicants this year but he was only able to invite 1-2 people for interviews. I was not on his short list. Hope this helps.

One of my PIs sent the wrong letter (for another student) for me (1 school). I found out because the ad commitee contacted me after the deadline. But I am glad that they gave me and my PI a chance to correct the letter. I am glad that things go right for you! Best luck!

The interviews have taken place on Saturdays and I've heard from the programs by Tuesday evening. One was an acceptance and the others were waitlist. Schools tend to be very upfront with your status filling the interview day. MrTree 1

I have a question though: generally how long will I hear back from school about decisions after the interview? It definitely varies. For one of my schools it's been 3 weeks; I have contacted my POI and confirmed that they're still in the process of putting offers together before extending them. It's been 1 week exactly for another program and I imagine they'll notify today (they told us to expect to hear around the middle of this week). My friend has been to more interviews and she seemed to hear back about a week after (sometimes a bit less). MrTree 1

I've heard back from one within 1 business day, but another school won't be contacted their top picks until 2 weeks after interviews because they have to hear back about funding. It varies per school. And then if someone is wait listed it may take longer. Edited February 17, 2017 by That Research Lady MrTree 1
applicant17 Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Has anyone heard back from UM-St. Louis after interviewing? It's been radio silence for almost 3 weeks, and I haven't seen anything on the results thread wondering if they are just taking a really long time to make decisions, or if they've already notified their first-choice offers who just haven't posted here yet...?

About how long did it take your POI to reply? If you don't mind me asking.

I received the same feedback from him about 2 weeks ago. Seems this year was particularly crazy with number of applicants and competitiveness.
emotive_bee Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Could posters who have received offers from UMSL, ASU, or UCCS PM me with POI initials if you feel comfortable? Thanks!
blonderoast Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Wow, UConn lost funding this year and my POI is no longer taking students (after initially very strongly saying they would be able to). I wish they could've figured that out before I spent money going to interview... knowing that you would've gotten in in a normal year is almost worse than a straight up rejection.

ClinicallyPsyched Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 To the UNC Chapel Hill acceptance- congrats!!! Would you mind PMing me your POI? Thank you!

ysi2010 Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Has anyone accepted an offer of admission yet?

8BitJourney Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 Just a quick plea to everyone out there: please don't hold too many offers at once! I know you want to weigh your options but if you know there are some you definitely like less please release them for the poor unfortunate souls on waitlists. YES!!!, JungAndNotAFreud, juhidee119 and 1 other 4
periwinkle27 Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 Now that people have started interviewing/getting acceptances..what kinds of stipends are people seeing? What seems to be an appropriate amount? I know that this is all relative as cost of living is different in each city but I'm looking for a way to gauge how much stipend money is enough.
