I know everyone isn't done yet and some are still waiting, but self care is so important! I encourage everyone to go catch a movie, hang with friends, SOMETHING. Just stop refreshing!! Good things will come! The day after my last interview I already have a celebratory tattoo session scheduled. What perfect timing for a tax refund to come in this year!

I feel like traveling really throws me off and after a day or so I start to feel like complete crap! I cannot wait to be finished with this marathon interviewing. Anyone else feel like this? Definitely. I was so emotionally and physically exhausted from the interviewing and the traveling. Ultimately, I ended up with bronchitis, so hopefully you are staying well!

Its been rough. I was handling it decently well until after my last interview and then slept weird due to exhaustion and ended up messing up my shoulder I'm used to lifting/carrying heavy things so it can't heal properly because I forget and keep straining it XD Maybe I should put in for sick days but working keeps me from panicking about admission decisions.

Yeah, I've taken some personal days just so that I could relax for a day before leaving for a different interview. My poor boss/coworkers haven't seen me in a month...

Pretty much found substance use fits in labs. Prefer to study recovery outcomes but most people focus on individuals in active addiction. I have similar research interests!

Thanks! I'm finally starting to feel better. I finally went to the doctor a few days ago on the prodding of my fiancé. Hopefully the meds will knock it out soon.

I hope this all calms down for you soon. I have to say, it was fun visiting the programs and meeting people, but I was so glad to be home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stereopticons Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Also, has anyone heard from Auburn post-interview? The DCT mentioned we'd hear by the end of last week, but I didn't hear anything or see anything posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand! I'm doing this all while in my final semester of undergrad. I'm missing class time, time to work on my thesis, and other things. Every time I get back from an interview time starts and I have to play catch up to ensure my grades stay up to par and thesis gets done. It can be very stressful, but hang in there! We're almost done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UngSully Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) This past weekend I went to Palo Alto University and I absolutely LOVED the program and all the faculty/staff. However, the program is so freakin' expensive, and it would be a cross-country relocation for me. I'm not sure if I should make this commitment. Does anyone know of any other practitioner-scientist (Vail) model PhD programs I could look at for in the future?

psychpride9 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Hi! Could anyone who got into UCLA please message me their POI? Or if in general if they know if the school is done extending offers? Just b/c I'm holding multiple offers atm and am trying to determine a timeline for how long I should expect to have to hold on to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 2/17/2017 at 6:39 PM, psychlife4me said: I'm waiting to know for sure on a school I'm waitlisted at before I make a final decision! We should def start a thread letting each other know where we end up. I got an offer from GMU, one of my top choices, which I accepted. It was a tough call because there were several programs I interviewed at that I loved, but this was the best fit. After four years of uncertainty over my future, it is strange but wonderful to know where I'll be, and that I am moving toward my goal in a very concrete way. If anyone else is going to be at GMU, we should get in touch! Good luck everyone with your decisions :-) Psychoplasmics, tomorrowforgotten, twistytie and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That worries me as well. It is pretty interesting to see Weiner's Attribution Theory at work on something as small as a result post though. I think the little things like that have taught me that I personally fit in in a much more laid back type of environment. One that of course pushes for success but isn't as cut throat competitive within the program. psyched64 and stereopticons 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think sometimes it is just difficult to be perceived "not good enough," for a program. Different people handle it in different ways. Some I understand and others are extremely prideful. tomorrowforgotten 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
