Is it common for schools to interview twice as many applicants as they plan to accept? Those odds are making me nervous lol. Expand This part is making me nervous, too! I know I am interviewing at a spot where there is only 1 opening. There were 5 of us that showed up to interview for that one spot. All the other candidates seem great too!

Expand I called Buffalo yesterday to inquire about my status and they said that while some rejections had been sent out the admissions committee had yet to send decisions to the office so if you have not heard back after interview day you should still be in consideration.

Littlebiggieman Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 Does anyone know if Columbia has already sent out acceptances? Gradschool2021_qanda 1
Psych98 Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 What are your opinions on the University of South Florida's PhD program? I really like the research opportunities but the practicum opportunities don't seem to be as great as other schools. Is there anyone who is in the program or has any knowledge of how the program is?
Littlebiggieman Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 /Does anyone have any update on Wisconsin-Madison besides some invitations might have gone out?
schoolpsych1122 Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 Just wondering does anyone know if most school send out interview invites all at once?

Expand Some schools send the invites out all at once through their program director. If it was sent by faculty, then there is a possibility that they can send the invites at different times but I would assume that it’s still usually around the same week because I feel like they all work together in selecting applicants.

Expand All of my interview invites have been from program directors or coordinators as mass emails, but I have heard of other programs having faculty send out individual invites!
Sunkay123 Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 POI at one of my top schools called me and said I'm at the top of the waitlist (they don't admit directly to one professor but program as a whole). Does this mean I have a pretty good chance assuming that at least one of the people they extended offers to won't accept?

Going nuts waiting for them this week...

Most schools do not have a 100% enrollment rate of accepted students. At most schools at least one student is accepted off the waitlist. I would say you have a good shot! Sunkay123 1

Expand A lot of what I've read about the interview process made me think that it wouldn't be quite as competitive at this stage. The interview is often billed as an opportunity for the program to "sell itself to you" but now I feel more pressure than ever haha. Five people for one spot is crazy! It is so awesome that you got an invite. I hope you get the outcome you are hoping for! JakiraJakira 1

My interview for Ohio State was 10 minutes casual with a student and 15 minutes with both POIs. Plus, it was an alternative interview date because I couldn't attend the regular interview day due to a prior commitment. Stay positive and don't sell yourself short! ctrsca 1
The_Garnet_Comet Posted February 11, 2021 Posted February 11, 2021 Anyone heard back from Winthrop or Western Carolina yet? Both would be EdS programs.

Expand Still nothing from Winthrop. Someone on the subreddit said they got 20 or so more applications than usual, so it may take a little longer to sort through them.

They also extended their deadline to the 22nd I just found out from their Twitter. Starting to get spooked there too, they're one of my top choices.

Expand Yeah, I received an email from them about the extended deadline and took advantage of it. I applied there as a backup and because I wanted to explore the option of moving to a warmer climate (midwest winters suck), but I’ll likely be declining if they offer me an interview. Hope you get good news from them soon!
SchoolPsychProsp Posted February 11, 2021 Posted February 11, 2021 Does anyone know when we should expect a response from the University of Washington Ed.S./PhD program? During my interview I was told mid-February. Were other people told the same? For sanity's sake, it would be wonderful if they could let us know this week ! Though, this is probably wishful thinking considering it's Thursday.

I was also told mid-February, but the original email I got when I submitted my application said their target date for final decisions is March 19th which seems way too late. Ugh!!
