I'm not sure if anyone on this thread is interested in Health Psychology PhD (non-clinical) programs, but I have included what I know below: School: North Carolina State University Track and/or specialization within psychology program: Applied Social and Community Psychology, Ph.D. Interview type: On-campus interview. Date: Feb 1st-3rd School: Kent State University Track and/or specialization within psychology program: Health Psychology, Ph.D. Interview type: On-campus interview. Date: Feb 9th-10th School: University of North Carolina at Charlotte Track and/or specialization within psychology program: Health Psychology, Ph.D. Interview type: On-campus interview. Date: TBD-Have to do an alternative interview date. Will most likely be in Feb. Original date was Jan 26th School: Virginia Commonwealth University Track and/or specialization within psychology program: Health Psychology, Ph.D. Interview type: On-campus interview was offered but I have to do a Skype due to financial trouble. To be fair VCU isn't the highest on my list so I justified it. My POI made the point to say that he has accepted people over Skype before. Date: TBD-Have to do Skype interview. Will most likely be in Feb. Original date was Feb 8th or 16th Also applied: University of Utah Social Psychology Ph.D.; University of Houston Social Psychology and Health Ph.D.; and Purdue University Health Communication Ph.D. Utah interview day is Feb 9th and I haven't heard so my hope is low. Houston application was due on Jan 15th so they have time to review. I have no idea about Purdue lol. Hoping for the best! I've never done on-campus interviews before. I also was invited to interview at UNCC, but couldn't make the date. I've ended up setting up skype interviews instead. I would be interested to know how you end up liking it once you visit!

If I can't make the alternative date then I will do Skype. I will for sure let you know. It isn't my first choice but I am excited.

They will drive me around, pay for meals, and allow me to stay with another grad student. The only school that did travel reimbursement was North Carolina State. Kent did not offer anything. Did you have a skype interview with your POI beforehand? I had a formal Skype interview with mine s few days after the application deadline.

pysch27 Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 I've applied to the counseling psychology PhD program at the University of Massachusetts Boston. It looks like a mass email went out last Friday (1/12) for invites but I'm wondering if it's possible they send out invites in waves? I was in contact with their admissions office and the person I spoke to said my application was still in line to be reviewed on 1/10, so I'm hoping I may be offered an interview in a second wave of emails. Just wondering - thanks!
Fiona_ Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) Has anyone heard from the following: * Michigan State: Ecological/Community Psych * Peabody (Vanderbilt): CRA (research & action) According to the results page, an international student heard from Vandy, and MSU has extended early admission/fellowship offers to two students---- Anyone have any additional info?

I feel like it's weird to go somewhat silent, but I don't want to be sending insignificant emails just to keep up contact. Does anyone have any advice for this situation? I'v applied to developmental psychology programs as well and I'm waiting to meet with the supervisors to discuss research ideas. This is mostly because I stated my research interests in my statement letter. Graduate students have told me that the interview process is important for them to see how well you and the POI can bounce around ideas for research and how your personality fits with the lab. Personally, I feel more comfortable expressing my interests and research ideas in person so that way I can see how the POI feels and can know their tone and feelings about it, in comparison to emails which can be hard to tell. However, you could send an email maybe before the interview and say how you're looking forward to it and would be interested to further talk about their research and yours and see if they would like to communicate more in email prior to the date.
Magic7090 Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 I've seen a few posters about Indiana State University's PsyD program - invitations are going out today!!

Sushicat1221 Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 I was wondering how long everyone waited until they contacted either the admissions page or their POI regarding if they got rejected or not? I've seen one person get an interview for this school which is in 2 weeks - should I assume I didn't get in? I thought that I would at least get an interview seeing as I was able to meet the POI previously and that they know my current supervisors, or that she would at least send an email saying she couldn't take me. I don't want to seem impatient and bother them, but I would really like to know if I got rejected.

The PI who I currently work with advised against this and said it would be more appropriate for her to reach out regarding my status. She also told me which POIs I should assume already sent invites. If you work closely with anyone who might have inside info, I would suggest asking for their advice first!

I did get one from Denver though. I also applied to Madison, and Tennessee as well and saw that Tennessee started sending theirs out as well as Madison so not crossing my fingers for those anymore. Also applied to ASU, North Dakota, Kansas City, Rochester(clinical), and Virginia Commonwealth. Good luck! I hope you get more interviews! Good luck at Denver!

I am actually still waiting to hear back from them as well but for DBS program and also BU too...Honestly I don't think they have gone through all the applications yet? there are barely any posts on grad cafe (even though not everyone posts) plus there semester hasn't started so I suspect there will be a lot more going out this week and next. Hang in there! I'm trying to take my own advice but the waiting game is killing me....might end up calling to see what they say

Kent didn't offer any travel reimbursement when I was first invited to interview weekend, but I just received an email a couple of days ago from my POI informing me that the department could reimburse me for reasonable travel costs up to $400, so it's possible that you'll just hear about getting reimbursed later.

I was offered reimbursement when I was invited (health psych). My POI said they only have funds to cover air travel for selected candidates.I think/hope there is a strong possibility of getting reimbursed later. My travel costs are only going to be $200 so hopefully the other $200 is able to be applied to someone else?

ezraontheinternet Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) So, I just had my first interview a few days ago, and I actually loved the school + program a lot more than I thought I would. We did 20 minutes with each professor (4). My first interview went well, my middle two were great, and my last one was okay. It's got me freaked out though because the last professor that I interviewed with is who I want to work with primarily. For context, my last interview was approximately 6 hours after the day had started, so both of us were quite socially drained by that point. I'm really hoping that the other 3 professors will reassure my POI that I did fantastic in the other interviews Also: got flat out rejected from two schools that I thought I had a great match with, both research-wise and gpa/GRE-wise. It's kind of got me down. Edited January 22, 2018 by ezraontheinternet
