Accepted to HCDE!!! Wow. Can hardly believe it. I am so grateful for this opportunity and will be attending.
-
Good morning from the west coast. Today is THE day! I hope...
-
@solica Thank you! Great to know.

@123abc Bummer! Thanks for letting us know. I'm sure they'll be flooded with emails if it goes past the 15th.

@sqa Totally get it! I marked the "hcde-grad" email address as a VIP contact on my Mail app so that anything from them appears as a notification on my lock screen. As if I wouldn't be checking constantly. This process has definitely brought out the crazy in me ?
-
I also noticed that it was on Wednesdays in past years, but also that those occurred in the week before the 15th. So now that it's the week of, maybe they won't stick to that. Or maybe, more likely, it's all a coincidence, the decisions are released when available, and I should just chill because I can't do anything about it either way. This realization hasn't stopped me from checking my email every 15 mins though...

@123abc Congrats!!!

@bobilu87 I applied to only HCDE and am waiting anxiously. Seeing the MHCID waitlist and rejections has got me browsing other HCI programs and looking at a game plan for next year. Gah.
-
Yep, I've also been in constant freak out mode since Monday. I'm slightly (ever so slightly, lol) glad it hasn't been released yet because I've been in all-day meeting/workshop things at work and while I can sneak peeks at my phone I really didn't want to get the news - good or bad - in a room full of people. I saw one year the decisions came out on the 14th, so we might still be waiting into next week ?.

@sqa I feel your pain. The decision is like this big all-or-nothing thing. I have a backup plan if I don't get in, but still I want so badly to not have to use it @siitrasn Yes, the applicant pool is so diverse in backgrounds and work experience, plus they don't consider things like GRE scores or portfolios. The "holistic" approach is actually great, in my opinion, but it means that I have no idea how to gauge chances. I focused on the statement of purpose, and am hoping for the best, but truly don't know what to expect.

Looks like both programs have gotten more popular over the past few years. I know there's also some UX focus in the UW School of Information as we had an intern at work from that program.

It's close enough to March 15 (HCDE admission decision deadline) that I've been checking my email a little more often than usual. This is so nerve-wracking. I'm trying to tell myself to just chill. Is there a specific date the MHCI+D decisions will be out by?

@bbobear Sorry about the job. Those interviews can be particularly tough and I wouldn't take it personally - sometimes a rejection is not a knock on you as an applicant but just a matter of things not lining up. E.g. maybe someone decided last minute that a certain criteria not even listed on the job description is vital, or one of your interviewers had a crappy day, or they were looking to hire internally all along but had to interview outsiders per policy or... you get the idea. I've been there. Hearing that "thanks but we've decided on someone else" totally totally sucks, but being on the other side of the table and interviewing has really opened up my eyes - there are so many factors at play. Don't take it personally. Keep trying and applying! @siitrasn Just curious- if you get into both, which program do you think you would you choose? If you did HCDE would it be full time?

MS HCDE applicant here!! Our deadline was Jan 15th and it's the only program I applied to, so I'm already anxious to hear back. Still a lot of time to wait though - two months. I wonder when they start reviewing applications. If I don't get in then I'll have to decide between trying for the HCDE certificate and re-applying to the MS, trying for the MHCI+D next year (need to do more research on that though), or looking at schools other than UW. I'd really prefer to stay in Seattle though! I currently work in UX and want to be a researcher so a masters is basically a must.
