From what I understand (thanks to posters on this thread!), most master's programs admissions are done on a rolling basis. The earlier you applied, the earlier you will hear. So the fact that you haven't heard has nothing to do with your merit as a candidate; they probably just haven't gotten to your app yet. Best of luck!

Congratulations, everyone!

Thank you for asking. It was awesome! Everyone was incredibly warm, kind, and approachable. If you have any doubts in terms of whether PennGSE is a welcoming community, I can assure you that it is. Have you made a decision as to whether you will accept their offer of admission?

(and to counterpointer)... CONGRATULATIONS!!!

First, congratulations on making the PhD first cut; I've read and heard that PennGSE's PhD programs are very selective! Second, thank you for your thoughtful reply. I've heard that the EdD weekend mirrors the PhD weekend, so it's nice to hear about your experience. Although Saturday appears to be a rather structured day of activities, it's comforting to hear that the interviews feel more lie conversations, rather than interviews. I am--far and away--most nervous about that part. All the best to you; hopefully you will get your good news within the next few weeks.

If anyone who recently attended the PdD weekend would be willing to share his/her experience, it would be much appreciated. Flying out Friday for EdD weekend. Very nervous...but excited, too!

FANTASTIC! Congratulations!

WOOHOO!!! I KNEW it would be good news! So very, very happy for you!!!

I agree with travelgirl125 (see post above).

I'm so sorry you haven't heard back, yet. I still haven't seen any master's posts on the results page, so I think you are in good company. Perhaps now that invitations have been sent to the doctoral candidates, the admissions committee will have time to get to the master's applications. The EdD weekend is February 20-21.

Thank you. You are all so kind. I am incredibly surprised and humbled.

I received an invite to EdD weekend yesterday. I truly couldn't believe it! Anyway, maybe master's degree news is next? Good luck to everyone!

Updates, anyone?

Thank you! Good point about the weather. Hope you hear something soon.

I hate stating the obvious...and the trite...but it's true: We all really will find our paths. I think EdD invites come out this week, and I will be thrilled if I'm invited, and I will be okay if I am not.
