isimsek Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) Did anyone apply to the University of Montana's Ed.S program and hear back from them yet? Edited January 19, 2021 by isimsek Misspelled a word

I said yes and the program director said that they would be inviting me to an interview in February. They said they would be sending out invites soon. Have you received your invitation yet?
JakiraJakira Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 1 hour ago, Psychdreams42 said: Have you received your invitation yet? I have not. They said that the interviews would likely come out by the end of the first week of February.

Not EdS but the PHD School Psych already sent out invitations. Not sure if they operate on the same time line though.
maybeschoolpsych21 Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Did anyone at the Berkeley interview hear anything about timeline/if other candidates are still being considered? Also what did folks think about the South Carolina interview? Would love feedback for moral support Interview season has left me so antsy- I hope everyone is holding up well!
mardou Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 A grad student I know sent me this about grad school interviews and wanted to share it with others too! Good luck on your interviews and if you're still waiting to hear back, hopefully you'll hear something soon! https://github.com/SavannahRoberts/GradSchoolInterviewsWebinar/blob/main/Webinar_PreparingforInterviews.pdf Schoolpsych921, rachaelpfanz, schoolpsychinprogress and 2 others 5

BlubbyWubby Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 (edited) Hello all! Glad to hear all the support and shared fears lol! Has anyone heard from UT Austin's program?? The website said interview invitations would go out early-mid January. Now that it's the 19th, I'm freaking out that maybe I didn't make the cut! ? Any insight is appreciated! Thank you!

Southwestteacher Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 (edited) Good morning everyone! I was considering applying to UNC by Feb 9th deadline. I saw a lot of mixed discussion on here about the program. I was just curious about what some of the main pros/cons would be of this program? Edited January 20, 2021 by Southwestteacher

I saw a lot of mixed discussion on here about the program. I was just curious about what some of the main pros/cons would be of this program? I gathered from the website that it can be completed in less time than a traditional school psych PhD, especially if you are entering with a related masters. They have 2 deadlines- one for priority financial consideration (scholarships, assistantships, etc) and then a later deadline where funding is possible but not as likely. I know some people are irked about them holding the open house after technically contacting some top candidates already, but to clear things up (I spoke with a professor) they had not sent out offers at that point, just scheduled some interviews. From my understanding they may possibly make some offers before the feb 9 deadline so you’d possibly have lower than the program’s (10% I think it was) admission odds by applying later but it’s still possible to get in. Hope that helps. Good luck in your decision! Southwestteacher and JakiraJakira 2
The_Garnet_Comet Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 Does anyone know if its common to have multiple PIs interview with one candidate at a school?
Schoolpsych921 Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 I have my first interview this week!! How are interviews going for you all? I’m getting so excited and nervous for it!

I think it's common to interview with multiple PIs (from my experience). I think they have each candidate meet with at least two PIs that have similar interests (even if you didn't mention them in your SOP) just so that in case one PI has other candidates that they prefer then there is a possibility that the other PI will be willing to take you as their graduate student. At least that's what I think their reasoning is lol.
mattdamon Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 Just got a rejection letter from U Minnesota PhD program. A little sad, but definitely saw it coming! Best of luck to everybody else this cycle, I hope you all hear great news soon!!

It is very common! It is even common to have multiple interviews with non-POI faculty. I'll add what my interviews this season have been and are scheduled to be. Indiana U: Interviews with 1 student and 3 faculty members (1 non-POI). Q&A session with multiple students and other prospective applicants Ohio State: 30 minute interview with 2 faculty at the same time, 15 minute interview with current student University of Wisconsin-Madison: Interview with 1 current student and 6 faculty members (4 non-POI), 2 info sessions and 1 current student Q&A spread across a whole day 9 am to 6 pm. University at Buffalo: 2 30 minute interviews with 2 faculty. 1 with top POI and another with chair of program (non-poi). My secondary POI is not interviewing me. Q&A session with current students. University of Cincinnati: 3 hour interview day with at least 2 faculty and 1 student, no info yet on who I am interviewing with. UMass-Boston: 4 hour interview day, interviews with at least 3 faculty and 1 student. No info on who yet. Kent State: 1 hour interview session with 2 faculty (POIs) and 1 student. 12 hours ago, Schoolpsych921 said: I have my first interview this week!! How are interviews going for you all? I’m getting so excited and nervous for it! I had my first interviews Mon-Wed this week (with Indiana spread across a few days since I can't attend the interview day). They were supposed to be 15 minutes but one went to an hour ! Just be yourself and ask good questions. They will spend most of the time talking if you ask good questions and follow-ups to show you are interested. That will show them more then their hard questions. Good luck with your interviews!
