Virginia Tech HED program

[Lulubelle]

I saw that someone's been invited to interview with Virginia Tech's higher education master's program this year and was curious if anybody's heard from them. Their website made it sound like it was slightly rolling (a deadline, but they say they will review your materials when they get them), but I sent my stuff in months and months ago, and haven't heard a peep. So, I'm just wondering if they waited for the deadline or if I've just been left behind.

You should have heard from Tech on 1/25 when they sent out the invitations.

Yep, I was invited to interview. I didn't post because it didn't know if anyone cared...

Has anyone received an offer from VT?

[Lulubelle]

I haven't. I've been curious, though, since they were supposed to have started...

I received an offer on Friday afternoon. I am just curious about who else would be in the cohort. Good luck!

Hello,

 

Curious to know what your impressions of Virginia Tech were - I'm thinking of applying for c/o 2016.

3stars -- I'm attending another school, so I won't be of much help to you. But I got a really great impression of the program at interviews. The faculty seem amazing, the students loved it there (and were really helpful and supportive). Good opportunities to take courses that you are interested in outside the higher ed department. I'd definitely recommend applying. I didn't get in, but I probably would have ranked it as my top choice (and above my current school only because of location). Obviously, someone who's in the program can help you more, but if there's any specific info you want that I may have learned through the application process, feel free to ask.
