  1. HOORAY!!!!! Congrats!!!!! YOU must be over the moon!!!! Glad I thought to randomly check this thread today!
  2. 1) I think EdD’s are an amazing solid degree. Education has done a good job of making sure to present the EdD as equal to the PhD, just with a different focus. (Just like psychology and the PsyD) I think all education in general has started to realize that one model (PhD) isn’t going to be enough going forward and practical application, or translational models of education are desperately needed. 2) I think if your goal going forward is to continue teaching, the EdD is a reasonable choice! I think the biggest consideration would be how your university (if you are planning on staying there?) views the degree. But from what you said it sounds like it’s favorable.
  3. I know in years past they have? I know several ppl who applied to Penn previously who got feedback, but maybe that was before they started receiving a ton of applications. Greater than 5 years ago, maybe? I thought Alabama invited individuals to ask if they had questions in the actual rejection letter — along with giving a generic statement about why most individuals were not chosen. I think about the statement of purpose? however, maybe this year they aren’t due to high number of applications.
  4. Off the top of my head, I don’t think CSWE has released this. I think!!! My brain is kinda fried, it’s last week of class. But my guess is that it’s going to be from the original list of programs (from 2019) they used to have on their website. I have the PDF, and if anyone wants to find it, google DSW accredited programs. I also uploaded it here, let’s see if that actually worked from my phone... My guess that the pilot programs will most likely be from that list and/or the programs that are members of GADE. GADE has almost always been involved in the discussions regarding DSW program accreditation. DSW-Program-list-as-of-November-2019.pdf
  5. Catching up on this thread is such a rollercoaster! I’m so sorry this round was a disappointment for so many. Ask for feedback and reassess! It seems like there is a new program every year or so.
  6. Yup, focus is on there! I've also included: If the program is at an R1 school or not, length of program, length of time out of MSW required, and dissertation or capstone. I'm not sure if I'll ever fill this all in, but is interesting.
  7. First of all! Congrats to all the acceptances!!! I was avoiding homework again, so I started a spreadsheet of the different DSW programs. There are 24 in total, 15 being a member of GADE. I was collecting things like cohort size and cost, but haven't gotten very far haha. Here's a list of names for those of you who are interested. If any of you who are going to a DSW program would like to confirm any of these stats: Cost of program, cohort size, and detailed class delivery method -- I'd like to add it to the spread sheet. thinking of updating it and posting it here once a year.
  8. Congrats!!!!! I've heard good things about Tulane.
  9. My guess is that we'll stick with a model like nursing. I don't think we will do licensure at the doctoral level. I'd like to see it honestly for selfish reasons, but there is a lot of movement against it at the national level.
  10. My last two schools were on D2L and canvas. I like Canvas best. Really easy to work with. We use zoom for the synchronous classes, which can link directly from Canvas. Every professor does it differently though. I didn't realize that other programs use pre-recorded lectures from non-professors.
  11. Every program everywhere has been talking about this! I work at an academic medical center, and ALL the programs had record numbers of applicants. I feel like Penn (because of their status) probably already has a ton of applications.
  12. I love the program. I chose it for its EBP focus and it hasn’t disappointed. Going in, I was worried that it wouldn’t be rigorous because of the online format, but the synchronous classes provide a great experience . We have really rich classroom discussions, breakout groups, group projects, etc. I feel like I earn every grade. It’s hard and amazing. I was also nervous because I work with a bunch of PhDs and MDs and I was worried that others might think that my program was “lesser.” Even if they thought so, they’d be too nice to tell me ha! But I’ll discuss cases and/or class topics with them and ask them questions about their PhD experience etc. In these conversations they always seem impressed with discussions, topics, and assignments. I get the sense that they probably did, at one point, also worry about the rigor of an online program. However, like me, ended up being impressed by the quality of the program.
  13. Ngl, when I get to feeling exhausted or “why the heck am I doing this?!” sometimes I go look at the different robe packages. The tams are so fancy
  14. My friend applied SUPER EARLY and she heard back today! She’s in! Here’s hoping you get news soon!
