What ended up happening with Northern Arizona?

After you find out if you got accepted or not, I would be straight forward and just ask them if there is any way you can receive more financial assistance as it is your first choice school, and you really want to go there. You would have nothing to lose since you would already be accepted into the program.

Try asking if they have any graduate assistantship positions? If they don't, ask them how students typically pay for school?

Which schools are you having a hard time deciding between?

Not yet!

Yes, I'm from out of state and I haven't received an email from them since last Monday when I had my interview?

Congrats everyone on your acceptances!

Has anyone applied to or know anything about the Ed.S programs at Seattle University, EWU , and Northern Arizona University? I'm still waiting to hear back from the University of Montana after the phone interview.

I've applied to Ed.S programs but make sure you have answers ready for the typical questions they are going to ask such as why school psychology? what is your experience working with diverse groups (I got stuck on that one), strengths/weaknesses? Goals? ...etc! I imagine you will be asked research questions as well since you applied to Ph.D programs.

The first two questions my interviewer asked, I thought I rambled the answers and was so nervous, I couldn't think straight. I hope it won't be that big of a deal.

Hi everyone, I found this forum as I was browsing the internet. I applied to Ed.S schools and heard back from 3 of them. I applied to Ball State University, University of Montana, University of Kansas, Northern Arizona University, and Eastern Illinois University. I applied to programs that offered students assistantships or some type of financial aid. I was discouraged to learn that I got rejected from Kansas and Ball State University. I thought I had a pretty good chance of getting into those schools. I got invited to an open house at Eastern Illinois, and I had a phone interview for Montana today. I think the interview went well except I found myself very nervous during the first two questions, and found myself rambling. I hope that doesn't get me rejected. My top choice is Northern Arizona University, but with the recent rejections, I'm not too sure what response I will get back. I'm not sure what went wrong. I've had a lot of practical experience, some research experience working in a professor's lab (though I didn't think it was too important for the Ed.S program), I struggled with my GPA because I was a nursing major my freshman year so it is a 3.34, and my GRE scores are Q-143, V-145, W-4.0. Has anyone else been struggling too?
