Rezzy S. Posted February 26, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlottearoora Posted February 27, 2019 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might have been a weird transition period or something. That's what I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADI219 Posted February 27, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchieMJ Posted March 2, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!
