I think they each have as far as rankings go good programs, and reputations and you never know until you visit the program whether it will be for you or not. William and Mary is going to be by far the safest of the 3 being in Williamsburg, and that college town is amazing. Location as for salary will likely be UMass, then Temple followed by William and Mary but then again the cost of living is more expensive near Boston and Philadelphia so while you'll make more your going to be spending a lot more on housing and everything else really being in the NorthEast. I agree with Anxious Applicant01 with going with the one that feels right to you and the area you would enjoy living at minimum the next couple years, I visited Temple and was excited to visit it but I got turned off by a couple of the current students and some of the faculty and think it showed when I interviewed that I wasn't going to go there. Delaware is where I really wanted to be but unfortunately didn't have the luck I wanted with getting in there yet.

Has this happened to you? If so from where?

To continue working and building hands on experience not a big deal, as I already work in a school were a chunk of what I do overlaps with school psychologists except for the evaluation piece. I would recommend building hands on experience, and just working a ton to make as much money as possible.

Yeah I was the same way figured I'd only apply two places and if I get in great if not I know I already have a decent full time job in a school as a social worker that I'd just keep working. Then I get the invite to interview and the excitement starts to build and it quickly feels more real.

Looks like the word on Delaware is they have sent out their invites for interviews.

Nope nothing yet on my end I actually emailed the department recently inquiring since their website says interviews Feb. 19th and 22nd under the MA/Ed.S. admissions and thats less than two weeks away!

I have to say I'm new to this board and with reading everyone's responses I am really suprised by the number of schools people applied to? Is this the norm, because I only applied to two Ed.S. programs. I see alot of people interviewing at temple are you all local, or are you flying there? Just wondering?

Glad I am not the only one, Its so weird Delaware is the only place I haven't heard from and their applications were due Jan. 15th?
