For future reference. I attended the Urban Schooling interview and they let us know that they receive about 75 applications (more this year), 25 get interview invites and 15 get admitted. It was group interviews of about 4-5 students and 1-2 professors with 4 rounds- each 30 minutes. The actual interview rounds were not structured- depending on the professor they could have prepared questions, or the professor could simply sit back and ask the students to ask any questions they had. It was not an intense day of interviews but rather a time for the professors and applicants to get to know each other. Some people met with professors the next day but that depended on whether you were contacted by a professor to set something up. Otherwise you only needed to attend the one day of interviews.

Yea. I received an invite last week. Interviews are later next week.

Not many data points for education PhDs but still helpful: http://www.phdstipends.com/

Anyone know what to expect at the UCLA Urban schooling interview? Who we will meet with or the kinds of questions? They say it will be a round table group interview- will that group only consist of professors or will other students be there?
