Hi, just an update from my earlier response, I was officially waitlisted today. Really hoping I get moved up, this is my #1! ??

Nope, I haven’t heard yet either. I check multiple times a day! ? I’m waiting to decide on another offer until I hear from them!

Ah got it! It might be different timelines for you then. At Loyola I’m hoping for either PF or KE

Are you EdS or PhD? At my interview with Loyola (PhD) they said they wouldn’t get back to us until end of Feb/beginning of March. Milwaukee (PhD) sent me a follow up email today thanking me for interviewing and inviting me to an open house/orientation ... I don’t know if that means I’m accepted or not or if it’s more of a phase 2, since we didn’t get to talk with students at the interview. I think they are doing rescheduled interviews this week as well. edit for spelling/grammar

I think Madison sent out their interview invites already. ? There were EdS candidates at my interview on Thursday.

Got invited to UW-Milwaukee PhD interviews on 2/1! I was really scared and thought I wasn’t getting invited at this point!

I also have a teaching background- I have a BA & MA in Special Education. I was also feeling a little nervous without a psych background so I did do a post bac psych program intended for non-psych majors trying for clinical PhD programs so I figured that was close enough to be able to fill in some of my coursework gaps. Hopefully they think the same lol

According to the ETS site, it takes 15 days if you sent them initially and 5 business if you ordered separate score reports after you received your results. I found it took longer than 5 days for mine, and things might have been further delayed with the holidays, covid staffing, etc. What I did was reach out to the programs directly and explained the situation. I also included a screenshot of the order confirmation showing I had sent the scores well in advance and included an unofficial score report for good measure. They thanked me for reaching out. No idea of it helped me or hurt me or not because they haven’t sent out interview invites yet.

Congrats! Mine is 2/1. It’s for the PhD program, not sure if it makes a difference!

Just got my interview invite from Loyola Chicago this evening! I’m very excited that I have one less school to agonize over during my winter break! ?

I’ve also heard that some app review committees are taking their time this cycle, since the interviews are going to be online they don’t need to worry about giving advanced notice since airfare/lodging won’t be an issue. Which is totally fine with me, I just wish they could all say not to expect an invite until later then so I can stop refreshing my email!

Just got an email from Northern Illinois (PhD - though, it seems it went out to EdS applicants too!). The email said they will send invites mid-January and the interview day will be February 19. Just thought this would be helpful for people planning. Also goes to show some programs won’t be sending out invites until January!

Hang in there, from a fellow middle school teacher! We will get through this!

Ok thank you! That makes me feel a little better. I’m all nerves right now!

Who was your POI, if you don’t mind sharing? Loyola is my #1 ?
