Has anyone heard re NC State’s masters program?
-
Has anyone heard back from George Mason re their masters program? It looks like last year interview invites went out on January 31... starting to worry.
-
I gather that NC state is doing everything differently this year, so I wouldn’t lose hope just yet.
-
Are you able to specify if this was for NC State’s PhD, masters, or both?

I had an early interview about 2 weeks ago but no offer yet. The professor told me then that they planned to *possibly* start making some initial offers to top candidates “in the next couple weeks” so naturally I’m refreshing my email and the decisions board like a crazy person. For what it’s worth, I also applied last year, had an early interview, and didn’t get chosen. I’ve found it difficult to predict any sort of timeline with them since it’s all apparently done one student at a time.

My personal rule based on my own experience working in higher Ed and monitoring this site, is to wait until 5 weeks after their admissions deadline before reaching out. At that point they can usually tell you if you’re on the waitlist or not, because they’ve made initial offers and have some idea of the spots left. Reaching out before then is unlikely to get you any new info and you run the risk of annoying them. Just my opinion. ?

Thanks! Weird the program head reached out to that person on a Saturday... I wonder if NC State is contacting person by person this year instead of hosting an all day visit with everyone?
-
Would you mind linking to the Reddit thread? I searched and couldn’t find it.

I gathered from the website that it can be completed in less time than a traditional school psych PhD, especially if you are entering with a related masters. They have 2 deadlines- one for priority financial consideration (scholarships, assistantships, etc) and then a later deadline where funding is possible but not as likely. I know some people are irked about them holding the open house after technically contacting some top candidates already, but to clear things up (I spoke with a professor) they had not sent out offers at that point, just scheduled some interviews. From my understanding they may possibly make some offers before the feb 9 deadline so you’d possibly have lower than the program’s (10% I think it was) admission odds by applying later but it’s still possible to get in. Hope that helps. Good luck in your decision!

I got an email from a professor at the end of January and we scheduled a video interview for the next week. The email was just to me, not a group, so I gather they’re sending these one by one. Hope that helps!

Currently waiting on UNC and NC State for post interview communications... I won’t even say how many times I’ve refreshed my email today. How is everyone else passing this time? It’s torture!

Can you share where you are seeing this? I can’t find it.

Yeah I noticed that too, via the decisions page. I wonder why that is.

Anybody heard from UNC Chapel Hill? I know their deadline isn’t until February but I see that last year some people heard by the end of January...
