In my experience, most POIs will bring in about 3 people to interview per spot. I think the ranges I've seen were 2 minimum, 5 maximum, for one spot.

Yep, that's what it seems to be so far for social psych.

I've had one or two professors do pre-interview Skype interviews in which case he had six people before the Skype interview, and he invited 2 to visit (although he did say he has in the past not offered either of his in person interviews a place, but that sounded less common).

Of the (clinical) interviews I've received this cycle, I know that one POI invited 7 for an interview (which seems really high) and another invited 4. I'm not sure for the other places I'm interviewing; those two POIs told me unprompted.

I thought about this as well.. Having to go into interview day with "competition" mentality makes me feel a little uneasy- Usually when we apply for jobs, internships, volunteer positions, etc- We don't meet other applicants during the interview process. This process is a little more nerve-wracking knowing we are sitting next to and across other competitive applicants who want that spot just as much as we do. :blink:

Exactly how I feel :(

Also, is it likely in the case of extremely competitive programs, for programs to interview fewer students since it is likely that most students are bound to accept offers? I'm not quite sure what to expect in terms of my chances and it definitely isn't quite professional to ask.

The program I'm interviewing for is extremely competitive, and I think that's the norm (to interview fewer students). I've read on forums about the program I'm interviewing at that in previous years, about 4-5 candidates interviewed for one spot. I don't feel confident whatsoever about the 20-25% chance of being selected.. I am doing my best to prepare for the interview, but I still feel SO nervous about this. :wacko:

Would you mind sharing which program that is via PM :)?
