Thank you for sharing this!

An update: I went ahead and accepted Fordham's offer. It feels nice to kinda have an idea of where my life is heading (at least for the next few years) and now I have time to apply for fellowships and improve the weak parts of my application before reapplying for the PhD next cycle. Now I can breathe and focus on finishing my current degree.
Good luck to everyone else still going through the process/making decisions!

Hey-- likewise!  I'm in a similar boat and wanted to share this resource I came across: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/311949630_A_Scientist-Practitioner_Analysis_of_the_Best_APA-Accredited_School_Psychology_Doctoral_Programs 

To be honest, I doubt I'll end up basing my decision off it, but better to have the information and then decide  

Accepted at DU!!! So excited ?

Thank you so much! It's good news indeed! It is such a relief. Many thanks! Best of luck on your application process!

Just got my first acceptance! So excited! It is a really nice faculty and I enjoyed the whole process of interview. The only thing that I am concerned is that it seems that as an international student I am not eligible to get a license after I graduate in that state. If it is true, I feel so sad.

I just received an email from the first school I applied and it said I was put into waitlist. I am surprised because I didn't even get an interview invitation. I was thinking that not getting into the interview means unofficially rejection. So there is still hope, right? That is a really great program and also has high requirements. Finger crossed. In the meantime worrying about my two incoming interviews (probably the only two). The whole application process is intimidating!

My interview buddy said the same thing, and she also mentioned that each interview would last about 15 to 30 minutes. 

Thanks so much!! I just got an email from a current student who is assigned as my "interview buddy" so I asked her about the format of the interview (panel, one on one etc.) 

Thank you so much for sharing that. Interesting there is only a total of 37 applicants getting interviewed. I wonder how many are PHDs. 

Thank you! I think I was in shock for the first couple of days but now I'm just excited. Also relieved that I don't have to sit and wonder/worry anymore. What a stressful process. I hope everyone gets the news they're hoping for!

Just updated my previous posts....my interview at University of Tennessee went really well and I was accepted! I am very excited and can't wait to start.
I've seen some posts about interviewing. I agree with others who have mentioned bringing a folio or something professional looking to keep your CV in, just in case. Maybe this is common sense, but I also wanted to say  make sure you're treating any time you spend with current students as an interview as well. Be personable with them, as they want to know how you'd fit in, but be appropriate. A couple people that interviewed let their manners slip some when we were with the students and the students didn't look impressed.
And, ladies, if you're not someone who wears heels every day, wear flats to your interview! We took a long walk around campus after the interviews and the girls in heels were clearly in a lot of pain.
Good luck to everyone!

I just received an interview invite from UF! Excited but nervous! I'm not sure whether I could go to the campus or do a skype interview since I live in China. It would be a long flight and I worry a lot about the jet lag.
I was also wondering what I should prepare for the interview, the answer for  possible questions, dressing code?
Apart from interview part, there will be luncheon and evening social with graduate students. I guess these two parts will be more casual  but I still feel anxious.
Sorry I worry about the interview too much.

Thank you! Wow it's a great idea to watch videos on YouTube. I will try it too. I am also trying to connect with my peers who have already been admitted to school psychology program to seek for some advice. Still waiting for their reply. 
Best of luck!!

Thank you for sharing! It's really helpful! I have never tried black suits before but I think I need to get one before the interview. Yes it is important to feel comfortable. They haven't sent me the detailed agenda of the interview day but  It seems to be a packed day.
A black folio would be a great idea. I'm also considering bringing my copy of CV.
Thank you! I should check the weather in FL now

Hi! I am applying to EdS program for Fall 2019. I hope to apply to PhD program after I finish EdS because I do not think I am qualified for PhD candidate now. I have applied to University of Minnesota Twin Cities, University of Florida, University of Washington, Ohio State University and Lehigh University. And there will be three more schools in January. 
I used APA website to search for APA-credited programs. Although they are all PhD programs, I think it is better to choose a school which provides both EdS and PhD based on my academic plan. And then I just used school websites and program handbooks to learn more information ( curricula, professor's area of expertise, etc. ).
It is great to know there are other people who are applying to school psychology, too!
As an international student, I am quite nervous since it seems that some programs haven't admitted international students in the past.
Good luck to everyone!
