queenmq Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Hi guys! I have applied to the Lynch School of Education PhD in Educational measurement. I saw someone in C&I PhD Program got phone interview invitation already. I am wondering anyone else already got any update since the application submission? Maybe we can share info about application status?

higheredhopeful Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Anybody else get into the Master's program in Higher Ed and is going to Interview Day on the 19th-20th? We should be hearing back this week about our interview schedules.

thdus82 Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Got my rejection email today. Sigh. Do you mind sharing which program you applied to? Hope you hear good news from other schools!
jonesybones Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Curriculum and instruction. I've been rejected from 4 schools now. Feeling pretty cruddy.
sjk0831 Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Any ERME applicant heard from the school? It has been 3 monthes since we submitted our application. So painful.
queenmq Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 Any ERME applicant heard from the school? It has been 3 monthes since we submitted our application. So painful. Nothing yet... also being painful here. But according to the timeline the department gave, for now I consider it not bad news, at least not just yet (sigh...)
queenmq Posted February 27, 2015 Author Posted February 27, 2015 I saw someone got an phone call interview appointment, congrats!
queenmq Posted March 2, 2015 Author Posted March 2, 2015 I saw someone got accepted to the ERME program today, congratulations! Care to share some details, please? I still did not hear a thing......Words that Lynch sends the rejections after everything done?
missgord Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 i think that was me! i got a phone call this morning asking if i was interested in an interview at some point during the following two weeks, and due to timing/schedules, we ended up having the meeting 10 minutes later. the phone call just went really, really well - we had a ton in common in research interest wise, and he happened to know my graduate advisor really well. he let me in on the spot, but again i think that was pretty unusual - i don't think that if you have an interview and don't get in right away that it doesn't mean they don't want you. i think it goes back to committee first usually. anyway, he said that they had just screened for the first round of applicants and i made it on the second round for interviews, so i think that the process is just slow for them. it's currently their spring break so i imagine a lot will be happening this week! ps: i was just rejected from harvard and university of washington two days ago

And yet I still did not hear a thing from BC I also got rejected from U of Washington this week, bummer~~~
missgord Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 The U Washington program is very different from the ERME program. I had an interview with them last week and knew it wasn't the right fit, so the rejection isn't surprising. They train people to become more theoretical and focus on the actual methods. BC focuses more on the application of methods to policy

missgord Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 it was the typical interview questions that you should be prepared to answer from any school - no surprises. things like what do you want to study, what are your methods interests, what are your substantive interests, what are you passionate about, what are your professional experiences, have you presented/published, etc. i don't know if an interview is required but it seems weird to me that a phd program wouldn't want to interview anyone they were serious about (but clearly many schools don't!). they might be going down the list slowly rather than sending all of the interview emails at once, because i saw in the results search that someone had an email requesting an interview on feb 27 and then i was contacted two days later on mar 1 about an interview. and yes, i think i will be accepting - i just wish boston was warmer
