Graduate School Admission Results

Basic email rejection

“I regret to inform you that the department has recommended that you not be admitted for the forthcoming year. Unfortunately, the number of places available for entering graduate students is limited. We are able to admit only those applicants who demonstrate strong academic skills and whose interests closely match the strengths of the graduate program to which they have applied. Admissions decisions take into account not only the merits of all applicants to the same department, but also the suitability of the department's programs to the applicant's expressed interests.”

Have seen inquiries about UMDs Counseling Psych program and wanted to chime in that I am anxiously awaiting news from this school as well. Not seeing any results or interview invites anywhere. I emailed the program over a week ago as well and received no response. Nothing. Anyone know anything? Interview day is supposedly 2/5.

TTPB: No interview, Area : AI

Has anyone heard from this program?

Email from a POI for an informal conversation, not a formal interview. From what I can tell from previous years, UMD-College Park has these informal meetings, then interviews/an open house, then decisions are released sometime during the first two weeks of March.

TTPB: I had an interview with one POI around mid Jan, it seems that timelines might differ based on when potential advisors might contact people.

TTPB: Congrats! Do you mind sharing which area you applied for? Did you get an interview?

Notified over email - Feb 12 interview date

Very nice personal email from POI, telling me my application ranked highly but didn't make it to the interview stage. Bittersweet :(
