EdLeadershipApplicant

Holy cryptic message, Batman! Haha... But seriously, is this well wishes, or inside info...?!

AHHHHH! (Right there with you).

It's in the GSAS application portal - if you applied for the EdLd (as in, you just used the GSE application) it's not there. Has anybody received any info from either of the portals? (Like everyone else, I'm sure) I've been checking far-too-constantly, and seen nothing yet. Also, I'm sure I can assume if at least some PhD decisions have gone out and I haven't heard anything, that means no interview and thus no admission, but I'm surprised I have heard a definitive no yet - has anyone? If not, and the interview is a necessary step for admission, why would they drag their feet on letting people know they weren't accepted?

Ditto for Ed Policy / Leadership.

I'm surprised by this too - when I spoke with admissions folks months ago they sold the idea of building a "cohort" pretty hard, so I assumed part of the interview weekend would be in groups. Either way, though, I suppose it makes the program/application more accessible, so that's a good thing for applicants with more limited means (especially considering how anybody admitted will be needing to pinch pennies to live in Cambridge next year!!!). As an aside, I can't get over how expensive this whole application process has been...for a field that seemingly values "access," between application costs and GREs, etc, it seems a little absurd.

Hey all, longtime lurker (sorry...) - has anybody heard news on the EdD front from Penn?
