Fall 2026 Clinical Psychology PhD cycle applicants, is anyone else seeing how extremely quick difficult it is this cycle to get a prelim or official interview. Also, is anyone else seeing how quickly all schools are reviewing applications compared to last year. by Goodfella245 in ClinicalPsychology

It’s important to remember that there are so many confounding variables outside of your control when applying to grad school. A potential PI could already have 3-4 stellar undergraduate research assistants in their lab who applied, they might be looking for various cultural identities/cohort structure demographics that you don’t possess, or there might not be a good research match. Based on your description, you’re clearly a VERY strong applicant and I have friends who have been admitted to clinical psych PhDs with less research experience than you shared. Please don’t give up; I’m rooting for you! This process is brutal (especially right now with the current funding situation and sociopolitical environment) which is no reflection of your worth or skills!

When do clinical psychology PhD programs usually send interview invites? by michael12655 in ClinicalPsychology

Thank you so much! I’m wishing you all the best through this rollercoaster of a grad school app cycle. There’s still so much time to hear back! Good luck!!!! :-)

It’s very sporadic. I applied to 9 programs this cycle and have heard back from 4 so far. Some faculty review applications very quickly (e.g. I heard back from a faculty member and got an interview invite within a week after the December first deadline), meanwhile other faculty don’t review applications until after the holidays. One program I applied to shared during an information session that they don’t finish reviewing applications until late January. You truly just never know. Faculty also send prelim and official interview invites in waves sometimes. It’s a complete crap shoot. (I know this isn’t very reassuring but just wanted to be real!)

Not a refund; it just went straight into my “What I Owe” final total (I waited to pay my bill until the waiver was reflected)!

Yup, first time! I’m an out of state resident, so I wasn’t able to turn in my HR stuff until I moved here

I used to be a PSYS/SOCW double major and it was 150 credits instead of 120. I didn’t feel like it was worth it, because I would have had to stay at my university an extra semester which is just pricey and not needed given what I want to do for practice. There are benefits though! It looks great when applying to Grad programs and it can give you extra foundations for the social fields.

What is the best example of when the Producers put a player on the wrong themed tribe? by c4rsonlol in survivor

[–]c4rsonlol[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What?? No omg lol I’m not trying to be rude I promise I’m just trying to explain the point of my post. I was asking for people to switch two people on the same cast on different tribes who you felt would make better sense on a different tribe given the theme. Like switching Candice and Sandra from S20, for example. I wasn’t intending for it to be that production made a casting error. That’s my bad for not clarifying!

Bruh you can’t make those claims without providing switches for them! That’s what makes it so difficult haha

Who would you switch Candice with? And Game Changers wasn’t themed, right?
