ezraontheinternet Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Well. Just got rejected from UNL after interviewing. Besides being really disappointed, I'm also very panicky now. I only have one other Ph.D. interview, so I'm feeling quite hopeless and thinking that I might have to settle for my back-up plan (masters degree first). This process is such a rollercoaster of emotions JoePianist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received my itinerary and I have three back to back interviews with different faculty members. Two are within the program I applied to, the other is in the clinical program. Does anyone know what this might mean? Do you think they might try to get me to switch to a different program? My professor told me to not be surprised if someone that isn't a POI interviews you. Schools sometimes add "filler" interviews to kind of check you out and make sure you're sane/can handle the rigor and ask all the neutral questions.

Kind of distracted me the whole interview weekend. I wonder what became of her. clinical_chicana 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have asked for her email address to stay in contact at least. That's what I did during my interviews with a few fellow applicants. clinical_chicana and H1ppocampus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually managed to get her number and we've texted a few times since the interview, but, unfortunately, I doubt we will ever meet each other again.

Towson was my only master's program (it's my undergrad), although when I got rejected from UMass Boston they asked if I wanted to be considered for their master's program, so I might let them do that.

Glad there's some good news then! I'm looking at applying for programs near the end of this year, and just started my first thread on this forum an hour or two ago. If you get a minute, I'd love your input on what you think my best options are going forward. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clinical_chicana Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 For one of my interviews, I was invited by two POIs. Is there a possibility to be extended an offer by both of them? Do I need to indicate a stronger interest in one POI over the other? Or would it be okay to say I would happily accept an offer from either one of the POIs? any advice regarding interviewing with two potential mentors at the same program would be very helpful!

I've had this experience at two interviews so far and I think you would only get an offer from one or the other. I'm guessing they meet and talk about which lab you would be a better fit for/which lab is most interested in you. I don't think you need to indicate a stronger interest in one of them unless they ask and you do feel really strongly about one vs the other. There is also the possibility that the two POIs are looking to co-mentor someone which they would likely tell you about during the interview! clinical_chicana 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courtnord Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I recently received a rejection letter immediately following an exhausting but positive day-long interview. Because of that weird juxtaposition, I just wanted to send everyone words of encouragement and support through this long, emotional, seemingly never ending process. There are a lot of ups and downs, excitement and disappointment, and it can be a lot to balance and just let it roll off of you. Reminder to myself (and everyone!) to not be fatalistic about your accomplishments and the hard work everyone's put into their applications and career trajectory. The admissions process is a strange beast for sure. Trying to remind myself that resilience just makes way for growth. Good luck everyone! We got this, even when we think we don't.
