Shlee467 Posted February 10, 2016 Author Posted February 10, 2016 So after reading through some of the past EdLD strands, admissions told people they were inviting for interviews over a period of about two weeks. I'm not sure if this is still true. We'd be in week one if that was the case this year, but I'm too nervous to write them.
HGSE EDLD Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 I believe some of you good people will get some good news tomorrow....

HGSE EDLD Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 Guess I was wrong! It's pretty cool dreaming with the rest of you. Perhaps tomorrow is the day! Keep the faith, folks!
GoBigOrGoHome Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 We are all going to post on here the minute something happens, right? Forget calling you husband/wife, posting on Facebook, taking a minute to cry...just post, right? Shlee467 and HGSE EDLD 2
Shlee467 Posted February 12, 2016 Author Posted February 12, 2016 I'm surprised no one on this thread has heard anything. But I suppose competition is really stiff even to just get an interview. GoBigOrGoHome 1
JMDesert2 Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) Be great no matter where you may land! Edited February 12, 2016 by JMDesert2 HGSE EDLD 1
HGSE EDLD Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 I am shocked that nobody on here has heard a thing. The only thing we heard was one poster last week who never mentioned anything after he said the invitations were sent last Thursday. Anybody bold enough to call Admissions? They're available from 1:00-5:00...
notapplying436 Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 Hi, I've actually been following this thread because a friend of mine was applying for the EDLD program. He was rejected on Monday (2/8). So if you haven't heard something by now, that could be a good sign? I can feel the agony through the computer so I thought it might be helpful to say something... I don't have too many answers beyond that, like whether it was email or phone call, or what. Didn't want to ask. Hope this helps.

I didn't think you officially get rejected until next month.
Shlee467 Posted February 12, 2016 Author Posted February 12, 2016 To be honest, maybe it's a good thing I don't get in. I just got an interim promotion at work with the promise of an additional promotion in June and have a lot of potential here all of a sudden. Harvard accepting me would create a whole layer of confusion and how could I turn it down even if it's really best for me to keep moving up where I am?
vector-john Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 Hi everyone; new here. I'm a fellow Fall 2016 Ed.L.D. applicant. I just got off the phone with HGSE admissions, and they confirmed what I had suspected: ALL interview requests have been sent out. Final decisions will be made available in "mid-March." Best of luck to you all in your pursuits! GoBigOrGoHome 1
EdLD Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 I decided to call HGSE admissions and the person on the phone was very nice. "All interviews have been sent out via email (at the same time) and those are scheduled for the end of the month. There have been times in the past when we had to go back into the applicant pool, which is why we do not send everyone their admissions decisions until mid-March." I did not receive an interview email. I did interview at UPenn last weekend for their EdD in Educational Leadership, though. Fingers crossed for Penn.

Shlee467 Posted February 12, 2016 Author Posted February 12, 2016 Everyone, so sorry that no one on this thread got an interview, but at least we know! We'll all do amazing things anyway!! I'm bummed, but it's more like, my ego is sad that I didn't even get an interview. It was always a stretch.
S16 Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) Hi everyone, I didn't get an interview either! I've been out of grad school and in the field for many years, having worked in the classroom and in admin. I was warned by a former professor that my views were too progressive for this program, as it is funded by Bill Gates and favors TFA grads and charter school principals. I don't want to end up where I don't belong, so I imagine this is for the best. Good luck to all to follow a path that will nurture your potential. Edited February 12, 2016 by S16 GoBigOrGoHome 1
