AHHHHHHHHHHH!!

I have an interview at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign!

This is kind of huge, guys. Not only are they a top-ranked Psychology program, but my specialty matches theirs.

OMG OMG OMG

\o/!!!!!!!

Note this does not mean I'm "in" or anything, just that there is hope. OMFG.

Good luck!

It's a pretty campus....huge, but pretty. I didn't go there myself, but I know lots of people who did. Lots of my family. One of my really good friends from high school goes there, along with like half my high school, and I also have a few LJ friends who are going/went there. One of them did their undergrad in psych. My boyfriend's applied to their law school, as well, though it's not anywhere near his first pick.

When is the interview? Hopefully it's a little more in the spring so you don't come for our icky, icky winter. :)

It's March 5-6, so I'll probably have to put up with some icky weather. Nothing could be as bad as the FREAKING HUGE SNOWSTORM I experienced in Pittsburgh, though. Definitely one of the bonuses of UIUC is that you and Chris are so familiar with it already... Pittsburgh is totally foreign territory and I don't know ANYONE who lives there (maybe an LJ friend? who never replies to posts?).

It sounds like UIUC is awesome for undergrad, similar to where I went with more emphasis on engineering/science than history, but their psychology department is a freaking top-ten institution. !!

Yeah, the beginning of March is not generally the best. Better than January or February, though...blech.

But yes, congratulations! I hope the interview goes well :) Even though if it does, it means you might end up suffering through some midwest winters. ;)
