school_psych_hopeful

Hi, I applied successfully to school psych programs last year and I even attended the Fordham interview. I don't believe it took longer than 3 hours. We interviewed as a group, interviewed with a faculty member, did a writing exercise, talked with current students, and did a tour. I know I went to work afterwards and I believe I made it back by 1 pm (I worked in the city at the time). If you have any other questions, let me know.

I'll be at Rutgers

I chose a PsyD over a PhD. I'll be at Rutgers this fall

I have had all of my interviews but one. The waiting to hear back is so stressful :| I keep refreshing my email and checking my phone, and I long to go home and open my mailbox while I am at work.

I don't know :/ I forgot to ask. I hope it is sometime soon...

Every school is different (one school I interviewed at did group interviews, another had me interview with two prof's at the same time, and the third one had me interview with two professors separately), but in general you'll be asked about your background, your research interests, why that specific school/field/degree, etc. Also, schools usually provide time for you to talk or interview with students currently in the program, so be prepared for that. Finally, don't forget to ask questions.

Were you there last Friday then?

One rejection: lehigh Ten interviews: pace, st. john's, fordham, penn state, temple, rutgers, suny-albany, hofstra, cuny & rider Have yet to hear from Teachers College (although I think they have done their invites already) and FDU (their deadline is March 15 so I probably won't hear from them for awhile). I have gone on three interviews and I think they went really, so we'll see

All the school psychology programs I have applied to conduct interviews.

Thanks for the reply, flyingwalrus. I don't know anyone else who is applying to school psychology programs, so I figured I would ask around this board. Most of the schools I applied to had January deadlines so I don't really expect to hear anything very soon, but who knows.

Hi all, I've applied to several school psychology doctoral programs for Fall 2008: Teacher's College, Temple, Penn State, Albany, Lehigh, Rutgers, Hofstra, CUNY, Fordam, Pace, & St. John's. I also applied to a specialist level program (Rider) and a MA + certification program (Fairleigh Dickinson). Has anyone else here applied to any school psych programs and, if so, have you heard anything yet? Waiting is so hard!
