Rezzy S. Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) Last year PSU announced admission decisions in early March, so I’m getting anxious to hear! I’m an out of state applicant. I loved the city and their campus, but was most impressed by their emphasis on medical. I’m curious to hear why others applied here. Also would love to know if anyone has heard anything from them yet. Edited February 26, 2019 by Rezzy S. lilyslp 1
charlottearoora Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 I also applied. I talked to a professor there over video chat and she seemed like someone I'd really like to work with. I also enjoy Portland as a city and have had friends who went there for undergrad and loved how diverse PSU was. However, I've read on a few forums that the department is super disorganized and kind of a mess ☹️ This is all second-hand information, so who knows if it's true, but it's making me a bit hesitant about the program. Maybe someone here has more direct experience.

It might have been a weird transition period or something. That's what I hope.
ADI219 Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 Applied there as well! Super anxious to hear back, but I think we've still got a bit longer to wait Rezzy S. 1
ArchieMJ Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 I applied as well! To the Applied Psychology Program. I haven't gotten anything back, even an interview invitation. I'm still very worried and I'm not even sure I'll get in. Fingers crossed and best wishes to everyone. minniepoptarte 1

You may find more up to date info for your program in the psychology forum: https://forum.thegradcafe.com/forum/8-psychology/. I imagine you'll hear back at a different time than speech-language pathology applicants.

minniepoptarte Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 I applied to the MSW program and so anxious to hear something. Come on, just rip it off like a band-aid and tell me

Well I double-checked and when you search "Portland State MSW" it lists all MSW program discussions and this one is just randomly in the middle of them. Thanks! Rezzy S. 1
Emily T. Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 I haven't heard anything yet, but I have a feeling we'll hear by the end of the week! I'm super excited to find out. Rezzy S. 1

Rezzy S. Posted March 9, 2019 Author Posted March 9, 2019 Saw an acceptance on the results page. Anyone else get emails?

lilyslp Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 Just received my email with acceptance! Super excited. They said that members of faculty would be calling next week to answer any questions that we may have, which I thought was really nice!
