Congrats to each of you for choosing to apply this cycle. Most people never even pull together an application out of fear of rejection--what a victory to face fear head on rather than wondering "what if". People often say "you only need one!" when referring to grad school acceptances, but whenever I said this after multiple rejections, my partner always reminded me "you only need zero." You need zero acceptances to validate your worth as a human being. You're wonderful, interesting, and powerful before and after this grad app cycle! Good luck to those EDLD applicants still waiting!

Yes, called yesterday. Thank you I hope they are still making calls today!

Hi all!! I can't believe this is real.. I also received a phone call accepting me into the program! HDLT PhD. Still in shock and so grateful after multiple rejections ? I didn't post it in the results page yet. They said to expect an official email by Friday.

Oh my goodness, wow, so lovely to connect with each of you. Thanks for the support @weallgotthis! That's also really helpful detail. I'm feeling so anxious but it's comforting to know I'm not alone haha. Hoping for the best for each of us!! @Rvmr @jackie987 @zh_awk!!

Hi everyone! Anyone else on this forum still holding onto hope for the HGSE PhD? I had an interview two weeks ago. I thought it went well, but in the meantime I've gotten rejected from two other schools and am just dying to find out now.

Got my first rejection yesterday from NYU, and am pretty sure it's a no from me for UPenn based on the interviews, since I listed interest in one professor but it's a different faculty's turn to accept a student in the department that I applied to. Still nothing from Northwestern, and now just hoping something good comes of Harvard or BC! We'll see!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!! ?

I think it's standard, and I honestly also think faculty just don't know haha. During my interview, the one person said 3-4 weeks, then the other interview corrected them and said 2-3 weeks, and then the original person just said I have no idea. Hahaha. They said that faculty submit their lists, then GSE and the grad school have to approve those people and do some admin-y stuff, and then the notifications get sent out! So that's my guess why they probably just give some blanket "end of february" response! @zh_hawk I bet your interview was ahhh-mazing! Every person in this forum could have been successful here, in my opinion. Sometimes it's just a matter of fit or timing.

Does anyone have any indication of how many are being invited compared to how many are accepted, for HGSE specifically?

Thank you ? Just received an email about it today - Jan 28.

Just remember that worth has nothing to do with invites--try and find a way to care for yourselfduring this very trying season!

@amexpat it looks like we've applied to some similar programs! I applied to HGSE and Northwestern, same programs, but haven't heard anything. I have had an interview with NYU (psych and intervention) and they said that at the end of next week they'd be sending out invitations to an in-person event. UPenn has at least sent some interviews out.

Ugh, I'm sorry. This is such a stressful time. I hope each of us can find something that brings us true joy/excitement this week! Maybe watching a movie, walking somewhere new, or eating out at a new restaurant if it is in budget.

ISHD!

Also received an invitation to interview! It may be that they send them out over multiple days. Mine got sent out at around 12:30.
