-
The library and student center were incredible.
-
The enthusiasm of the professors, diversity of interests and opportunities
What impressed you negatively?
-
The group interview felt awkward and unnatural. I don't think anyone really came across great in that format. There were 28 people interviewed for 4 spots, and we were divided into groups of 7. Seemed like everyone was trying to quickly throw in their two cents before running out of time...
-
The department facilities were terrible, one professor was exceptionally rude, the school invited 40 people to interview for only 4 spots.
-
Lack of funding despite highly resourced school, no chance to talk individually with professors
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
-
Hardly any funding!
What are your general comments?
-
Awful, I felt like I was incredibly disrespected as an applicant.
-
Very short. 40 people competing for 4 spots. Group interviews with 6 prospective students and 2 faculty, random questions not necessarily related to psychology. Group dynamics seemed most important. Then group interviews with students, who griped about lack of funding but seemed happy otherwise. Optional tour led by student. Good food. You most likely will find out that day whether you're in or not.
