There is another web chat with current students that may be more convenient for your time zone: March 2 9 AM EST, you can register online. Expand Hi Heather, do you have any information about how/where to access either of those web chats? I checked Penn's website and didn't see anything mentioned. I'm wondering if it only went out to admitted students yet. Thanks for the response!

phillyhed Posted January 21, 2016 Author Posted January 21, 2016 There's a PhD interview invite at GSE on the results page-- in Quant Methods. Interviews are 2 weeks from this weekend. Pretty sure I'm about to vomit.
juanmesh Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Doctoral candidates weekend email anyone? Sucks to live in Taiwan. Days after getting my first rejection from UMinnesota, sad I won't be able to enjoy quite possibly the one good thing I'll get from this application season. Guess we can be sure there's no decision until the second week of February for doctoral candidates then.

I'm interested in studying college access and success for first-generation-to-college students from low-income families. Interested in working with Laura Perna. No invite here so far.

I applied ISHD so still hoping that there might be a slightly different timeline for different programs!
TheMonkeyOnMyBack Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 I am praying that the departments are sending these out separately as I am not a Quant applicant and haven't received anything. endlesscoffee and juanmesh 2
Vulpix Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 I bet they send the PhD stuff separately as the masters programs also notify separately!! Don't give up hope yet!!! juanmesh 1
JungAndNotAFreud Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Ed Policy PhD applicant, and no news for me either!!!
JungAndNotAFreud Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Another person posted and they said it was a generic e-mail from the dean, ugh. That makes me even more scared that I haven't heard. On a positive note, they were also quantitative methods soooooo there's hope???
phillyhed Posted January 21, 2016 Author Posted January 21, 2016 I was nervous about not hearing when I read that the email was from the Dean but I think the fact that both interview invites were from a single division COULD mean we should hold out hope. That said, I just got back to my desk after a meeting and when I saw that I had no new email, I cursed out my computer. So...so much for holding out hope.
dear_valentine07 Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Question: does anyone know what the acceptance rate for their masters program is? Specifically, Ed Policy.
TheMonkeyOnMyBack Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 @dear_valentine If I remember correctly it is around 30% @JungAndNotAFreud I am Policy too. I think we are ok for now. Fingers crossed
NYCEngTchr Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Hi everyone, just wanted to chime in-- I also received an email about the interview weekend this afternoon. I applied to the PhD in Teaching, Learning, and Teacher Education. The events are taking place Feb. 5-7.
Vulpix Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) I see on the results page an EdD Higher Ed invite for Penn via email. Someone here??? Also, wait, there's an EdD vs. PhD in Higher ed? I didn't realize GSE had that many options. Edited January 21, 2016 by Heather1011

Expand Higher Ed has PhD (only offered full-time), EdD (for the past several years, only part-time although they didn't matriculate anyone this year), and Executive EdD. I applied for the PhD. No invite here.

Edited January 21, 2016 by Heather1011
JungAndNotAFreud Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 I'm definitely holding on to hope until a few Ed Policy people post AND even then, I'm calling to confirm that I wasn't chosen....LOL.
Vulpix Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) Web chat with current students in 3 minutes! Let me know if anyone has any questions! They will have students from most departments. Edited January 21, 2016 by Heather1011

phillyhed Posted January 22, 2016 Author Posted January 22, 2016 From tonight's chat-- I asked this question in the Admissions box: Christina: Hi LaToya, Do you know if all of the invitations to the doctoral interview weekend were sent today or will some be sent tomorrow? LaToya F. - Admissions: Christina, invitations to the doctoral weekend will be sent out by the end of the day tomorrow. Christina: Thanks LaToya! So, now we know. We have hope! endlesscoffee 1
