Jamie333 Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 Rejected from Temple University's PhD in psych program, wait listed for Villanova's Masters in psychology program, waiting to hear from UPenn and Pitt for their PhD in psych programs. Chances aren't looking too good :/

Chances aren't looking too good :/ You're in the Literature scholar area, not that it matters, but as a Lit person with a BA in psych: I'm sorry, I know you must be disappointed. Psychology programs are so competitive. I remember many moons ago (2007) talking with one of my professors about applying for clinical psych grad programs, and hearing about how hard they are to get into. If you need any talk about what you can do with the UG psych degree, feel free to shoot me a message.

I had to take a mental health break from GC and this is a delightful discussion to return to. Have any older adjuncts on here considered that they might be competing with former students for admission? That occurred to me today.
chamakay Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 Does anyone know if Yale and Columbia interview all potential acceptances? I'm not really holding out hope anyway, but wondering if there's any way I can figure I was rejected before officially receiving a decision. Also, has anyone received a rejection from Berkeley yet? Wish they would send those out already!!
orphic_mel528 Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 In all seriousness, any more buzz around Rutgers? I see 2 acceptances on the board, but nothing else. Considering the timeline, I'd think all their offers have gone out now, no?

Wish they would send those out already!! I don't think Yale does interviews. I interviewed with Columbia a couple weeks ago - it was three professors from my subfield. They state on their website that, unlike other schools who use a holistic committee made up of people from across the entire department, Columbia sends all the apps from a particular subfield to the faculty in that subfield only. This makes for a more specialized admissions process, and also means that each subfield committee probably has relative autonomy. My point: just because some subfields interviewed DOES NOT mean that all of them will, meaning there is still a chance of acceptance without interview. I should note that this is an exception: most of the time, no interview means no acceptance. chamakay and zombiekeats 2

It's possible that there's an invisible waitlist, but I suspect that their definitive "we want you" offers have gone out. I'm thinking the same is true of Yale, despite the presence of only two acceptances for them as well. (Also, I wish some of the acceptances on the results board would be a bit more descriptive... It's Yale! You're allowed to gush a bit!)

zombiekeats Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 I keep closing all my GC tabs saying to myself that I won't check my email or the results page until such-and-such a time... ...but then I log back on and obsessively refresh. chellyfish_ 1

Oh god I've been knee-deep in their course listings all morning, living imagined lives.
