JacobW83 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 School: University of HoustonProgram: Counseling PsychologyDate of Notification: 2/21/17Method of Notification: WebsiteThoughts: I'm really surprised. I didn't feel confident at all after the interview and was fully expecting a mid waitlist position at best. The funding is better than I expected as well! Interestingly I never got an email notification about the offer, I was just checking the website for updates and saw "Decision Released" with no notification letter anywhere; after a few minutes of panic the letter popped up!

ellieotter Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 School: University of Central Arkansas Program: Counseling PsychologyDate of Notification: 2/16/17Method of Notification: EmailThoughts: I'm happily surprised. Interviewed via phone call with all the faculty at once which I felt was a death sentence for an acceptance. I wasn't super confident about my interview but I must've done better than expected! More than likely accepting since I can do forensic work! Plus full assistantship, what more can a girl ask for?

I loved everything about the school including the program, the current graduate students, and most importantly my POI. I have one more interview, but I am most likely going to accept this tomorrowforgotten and ellieotter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a much stronger applicant now, and because of that I got into my dream program. School: University of VirginiaProgram: community psychDate of Notification: 2/11/17Method of Notification: automated and personal email Thoughts: Pretty excited to get in, and my advisor/the faculty/the grad students were all really great, but ultimately not the best fit for my interests and career goals. Wrote a really difficult email yesterday telling the PI I was declining the offer. stereopticons 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rose1128 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 School: University of MississippiProgram: clinical psychDate of Notification: 2/06/17Method of Notification: phone call followed up with emailThoughts: This is my third round applying, and I never had so much as 1 interview in previous cycles, and now I've had 4. I'm a little in shock and just so relieved that this is finally happening. Absolutely loved the program, however I absolutely loved one other program I interviewed with too. Still waiting on word from that one, so once I hear back from both of them I'll know where I'll actually be going! stereopticons 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it depends where you go. One place I interviewed was a major college town, and the students told me that when they started trying to find places in May for the upcoming fall they were already almost all taken. Another place I interviewed was a major city, of which the college is a small part of. Those grad students said renters weren't interested in letting you sign a lease until about a month before you needed it, because there's so many places on the market.

I had a change of heart during this application season because I applied to several clinical psychology programs and only this one experimental program. After thinking about it for the past few months, I realized clinical psych wasn't for me and my heart was suddenly set on social psychology. Very glad I realized before potentially starting a clinical program! Congratulations to everyone on their acceptances! 8BitJourney 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
