Undergrad GPA: 3.95
Notes: Waitlisted with message that the faculty interviewer rated me very high but my (overall?) score wasn't high enough. My impressions of the program during interview day make me not mad about this result though. They very much tried to sell us their program, without allowing us to ask questions and catering to us. My three interviews resulted in a grand total of four questions, two generic ones by the faculty, and two more specific ones by the students. I am assuming I did not get accepted because one of these student questions was what non-psych non-textbook non-fiction book do you read, and I made it clear that I had attention difficulties and thus did not read often. If they use that to judge someone's aspirations for learning, that says a lot about their program while also speaking to poor accessibility and inclusion. Every other interview day I have been to has asked better questions and seemed to acknowledge how much I loved learning. Just because someone cannot focus for hours on a book does not mean that they don't love learning.
