<p>Hi all! Some of you will remember me, some of you won't, but I was (and I like to think still am) one of the regulars on here for the last few years. First of all, I want to let you know that you are always welcome to get in touch with me and I will respond as soon as I can, life has just gotten really busy!</p>
<p>As you may know, I am currently a senior at Notre Dame and am applying to Clinical Psychology PhD programs (which are harder to get into than med school for some reason). So far I have been very very blessed! I have been told by more than one person that you are doing well if you get one interview invite and are lucky if you get two...I have gotten four (Colorado-Colorado Springs, Iowa, West Virginia, and Duke) and will probably end up with one or two more, which I am very thankful for. Getting an interview basically means my odds went from 100-1 to 3-1, literally, but now I have to go up against the best of the best at all of these schools.</p>
<p>My first interview is this Friday at the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs. If you have some time, please say a prayer for me. I am stressed out not only because of my interviews (which I have to go to in person) and school work but also because my honors thesis starts on Sunday right when I get back from Colorado! It is going to be an interesting couple of weeks. So please keep me in your prayers and be as understanding as you can if I am slow in responding to your emails or I don't make it on here much...I am trying, but the good news is I don't post here much anymore because I get here and see that everyone is getting really good responses! It is awesome!</p>
<p>Keep up the good work and keep me in your prayers. I miss you guys and this board, you all are awesome!</p>
<p>Mike---please be assured we all will hold you in our thoughts and prayers.You are going to make this world a better place-follow your dream-and make it your reality. Hang in there---breathe---and KNOW your prayers will be answered in just the right way for YOU! APOL</p>
<p>Of course you will be in my prayers. You will find the perfect spot and you will make the world a better place. May peace and faith be with you.</p>
<p>Prayers here as well--not only for the interview and thesis, but so that you don't turn into a human popsicle in the frozen tundra that is Michiana!</p>
<p>Congratulations! Mike on the acceptances. You know the CCers support you and wish you the very best. You are destined for great things :)
Do keep us updated.........very exciting times for you, now the "applicant" :)</p>
<p>lol, not acceptances yet, just interview invites. I will definitely keep you up to date though as I hopefully get acceptances.</p>
<p>Also, I can say that I have added another interview...I got at call today from Catholic University. This pushes me up to 5 interviews and will give me a brutal stretch of 3 interviews in 4 days (creating a roadtrip of 2000 miles). It will be fun, lol.</p>
