I checked the NASP website and found that in Pennsylvania certification is only given to US citizens. That's super disappointing. But you could go to Lehigh, then move. I live in AZ and I believe we license non US citizens. There have been a few people come through the program here that aren't citizens yet. I would check into it! Where are you from, out of curiosity? If you are bilingual, that's awesome. We need more bilingual psych's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The atmosphere is super chill and everyone just goes with the flow. Like come prepared with what you want to say, but honestly relax, it's super laid back. You get your own personal scheduled of around 5 individual interviews, one being with a pair of grad students. No crazy questions, just the normal grad school questions, why UF, why school psychology, and about your background. Prepare as many questions as possible because you will run out because they answer all your questions iimmediately. After getting even more information I definitely want to go there. They said we should get a decision sometime after the February 1st interviews. How many people were in your interview group? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sun&stars Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 For anyone who applied to UNC Chapel Hill's program: I just called and the faculty are just now starting to review applications. Expect to hear from the program within 2-3 weeks from the application deadline. Possibly earlier, but that is their estimate.

Quick question to everyone considering school psychology programs - which states offer paid internships? I am fortunate enough that Ohio does that for anyone doing a program but surely they can't be the only one. Basically, does your state do that? I'll be attending the university of Tennessee beginning this fall and from what they said on our interview day, their students receive paid internships.

But I'm not sure whether there are some differences between the requirements of certification in different states ( I guess there are) which may make moving process difficult. Wow that sounds great! Thank you so much for sharing this! I'm from China and Mandarin is my mother tongue, is this kind of bilingual? I know some programs with bilingual orientation in Spanish. Chinese seems not to be a widely used language in US. Anyway, it is very nice of you to come up with all these ideas. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinese seems not to be a widely used language in US. Anyway, it is very nice of you to come up with all these ideas. Thank you! So once you are an NCSP (National Certified School Psychologist), it is very easy to move between states. I looked at the AZ requirements and they will license non-US citizens so thats great news. I'm sure there are a lot of other states that will too. As for being bilingual, there are many programs in Spanish....I don't know of any in Mandarin. But once you go through your program, you can research which tests are in Mandarin and then give them. The program will teach you how to learn new tests so you could teach yourself how to give one in Mandarin. Mandarin isn't as widely used as Spanish but I think it is used in larger cities with higher Chinese populations. I am originally from Chicago and it is more commonly spoken there. Also, San Francisco has a large Chinese population. NYC might...I haven't been. It is just a great asset to have because there may be parents and children that don't speak English. Good luck!!! oppositeofdiffident 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tashaonthemoon Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Thought I'd check it since I haven't for quite some time. Got rejected from Loyola. Kinda disappointing, but it is what it is. Haven't heard anything back from UVA or USC. I was rejected from Georgia State but was offered an interview into their masters program which I think went well. I did receive an interview offer for Fordham's PhD program, which I'm excited for. I actually got to go to the open house and speak to some people; if I get it, it'll be a good fit (and mean that I could live at home and save money). Kinda focusing on my current degree right now, but still hoping for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck on your application process! NYC Native here. NYC has a huge and constantly growing Chinese population, especially in the Flushing area of Queens. New York is also one of the few states to offer bilingual certification for School Psychologists, but I'm not sure if it's only in Spanish or if Mandarin is one of the languages (but I know teachers can get certified bilingually in English and Mandarin). Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASDadvocate Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Just received an email this morning from UNC Chapel Hill's school psychology program for me to complete a qualtrics survey by Feb. 10th in reference to potential funding opportunities for which I might qualify. This is the first email I receive from this particular program. Wondering if this means I will be interviewed/considered for admittance. I'm not really sure how this particular program does it. Has anyone else received any similar emails from Chapel Hill or any other program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rachaelpfanz Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Has anyone heard from Ohio State? I see on the results search 2 people got interviews for the Ed.S program. I'm getting antsy because UF PHD is my top choice so I am hoping that I will get accepted there and if OSU invites me for an interview I can just decline and accept UF. But OSU Ed.S is supposed to be my backup in case I don't get into UF so I would at least like to hear they want me for an interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of those was me- the interview is scheduled for February 22nd and they asked us to RSVP by the 18th. You could possibly be included in a second wave of invites, but I can't tell you for certain, of course. Hope this helps! rachaelpfanz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you chimed in; I remember you posting about the phone interview and was wondering whether you had received a similar email. I think it makes sense that it could be dependant on POI. BTW, I have only seen phone interviews and acceptances for this program on the results page. Do you know if they hold official interviews on campus? Thanks again!

I have my interview tomorrow morning, so I’ll ask then. From what I’ve read on the website, they do phone interviews, accept students, then invite to campus. But I could be wrong. I’ll let you know once I find out! And I did receive a similar email. It’s super easy to fill out the survey, so I would recommend doing it even if you haven’t gotten an interview yet!

Did you go to the January or February UF interview? Because at the January one they said we should hear back in two weeks which is now this week. I was wondering what was said at the February interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
