Hi guys, I just received the interview request from UPenn. Wanna to know if you have any suggestion or tips that can help me stand out from the crowd?

This is an international application; however, I went to an US college for bachelor degree.

My GPA and GRE are both poor, but I have some research projects, study aboard experience (in US and UK), and some internships.

Hi @Ran_Chen! How did your interview go (assuming it's already done)?

Hi, I just received the offer. The interview is actually not parts of the admission process, it's more like a chance for you to interview the school. It went well, we talked for 20mins and she said I would definitely be the incoming student.

Congratulations! Could I ask you when you applied? I applied about 3 weeks ago and wanted to get an idea about how long they take to make decisions.

i had emailed them a couple weeks back asking when i would hear back and they said:

 
Thank you for your message. The Higher Education program has a priority deadline of February 15th. This means that they will start reviewing applications after the deadline has passed, and decisions will be released early to mid-March.

I submitted all my materials in the early of January, and I received the interview invitation at the end of January. It's a really faster process, about 3 weeks long.

I just got the offer from M.Ed. in ISHD! FYI, the process for my application was approximately 3 weeks.

No interview and there was an email saying I could check the decision on the website.

 

Good luck to everyone else!!

I got 10k merit scholarship but they did not offer me a GA position. But I guess we have to apply for those positions?

Expand  

Yes, we do need to apply for GA positions. I emailed admissions about it back in mid-Feb. Not sure if different programs have different timelines. I got into M.Ed. in IEDP.

Hi, I applied for TESOL program in Penn GSE on December 2019 and I haven't heard any news. Does anyone apply for TESOL program as well here? 

Expand  

I also applied in December and have not heard anything yet... so hopefully no worries! Fingers crossed we hear back soon!

Hi everyone! I learned something about the work of GAs in IEDP. GAs manage social media accounts. They also work with guests for the lecture series. You guys should email your program coordinators at Penn GSE. They are nice. And they respond even if they are busy with their work and family. Whenever I talk to them, it feels like I am already in their class. They explain my questions clearly.
