Fall 2017 Education Acceptances/Interviews/Rejections

Did anyone else applying to USC Rossier (Ph.D) get an email from the director today? In the email, the director says she tries to make time to talk to all of the applicants, so the language is very casual and it doesn't sound like an official interview request. 

Any insight appreciated!

I also applied to USC but have not heard from them so maybe that's good news for you! :)

Has anyone applied to (and heard from CPEP at the University of Michigan?

I applied to CPEP, but still haven't heard anything. They should be sending notices between today or tomorrow. Please keep in touch if you have news!!! :)

Has anyone heard back from any Southern California school Education Programs? (e.g., UCI, UCSD, UCLA). The anticipation is killing me!

@girgis99 yes, to my utter shock, I just got an email from UCSD inviting me to participate in interviews happening next week.  It was a generic email saying that I would be contacted by a faculty member in the coming days and that the interview should be complete by 1/22.

Hi @girgis99, I applied to UCLA (HEOC) and I haven't heard anything yet. From last year's forums, it looks like applicants were notified at the very end of January.

@ugggggh Congratulations! That is awesome! Hopefully I hear back from them soon, as well. Did you receive an email from UCSD today?

@higheredbee For UCLA I applied for the MA in HEOC, so I'm assuming MA decisions will be released after PhD decisions. Good luck! I hope we all receive favorable decisions sooner rather than later lol. Fingers crossed!!

Thanks!! Yep - it came in about 2pm PST.  I'll definitely report back after it happens.  I'm thankful to have heard from one school (and trying to focus on getting ready for the interview) but also wishing I'd hear from others soon. :)

Good luck to you as well! I did my M.Ed at UCLA HEOC, and we took several classes with the MA students. Please let me know if you have any questions about the program :)

@ugggggh sounds good! I look forward to hearing all about it :) May I ask who your POI is?

@girgis99 tbh, this is the one school where I don't really have one... I wasn't able to interact with any professors there before applications were due, but my focus is adult education and social justice, so I just named everyone who I thought would be a good fit in my SOP. :)  I'm interested to see if it is one of those professors who conducts the interviews.

Congrats!! That's wonderful. Seems like short notice but maybe it's less time to stress. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

If PhD programs don't invite you for an interview, does that mean you're automatically rejected?

Not necessarily. Some programs don't do interviews. Last year I was accepted to a program and did not have an interview.
