General Rejection Email

Has anyone heard back from Fordham following the Clinical Psych interviews two weeks ago? Thank you!

general rejection letter (although very polite): "Please accept my deepest appreciation for your application to our Clinical Psychology doctoral program. This year we reviewed 222 applications. Our faculty are always impressed by the quality of a large number of applicants and struggle with making very fine distinctions among worthy future professionals. We evaluate all aspects of a candidate's dossier - GPAs, letters of recommendation, statements of intent and interest, diversity statements and CVs, etc. With this information, we determine, to the best of our ability, which candidates would flourish and “fit” in our program. Indeed, due to the nature of a scientist-practitioner training model that values apprenticeship, we must carefully select a few students to consider further. This year, we will interview around 30 applicants, with an ultimate goal of having an incoming class of from four to six students. We must painfully put aside dozens of students who will ultimately represent and shape the future of our profession. Unfortunately, we were unable to include you in the group of applicants selected for an interview and you are no longer being considered for admission to the program."

no interview, results send by email and posted on eGAS

Email from PI & department stating that I am the top alternate if the first candidate rejects the offer.

PI called and extended informal offer. Wow. It still hasn't fully set in. I can't feel anything but very grateful for the offer!
