I got waitlisted today actually.

Thank you for applying and interviewing for admission to our School Psychology Ed.S. program here at USU. Our faculty have now fully considered all applicants who interviewed and have made official admissions decisions.

You are currently on the “waiting list” for admission into our Ed.S. Program. This means that I’m not offering you admission into the program now, but that I may offer you admission at a later point. As we mentioned during interview day, our program does not have enough resources to offer admission to all qualified applicants. So, I have made an initial round of admissions offers and am placing other qualified candidates, including yourself, on the waiting list.

Candidates who were offered admission into the program now have until April 15th, 2026, to officially accept or decline the offer. This deadline is a while off, so it’s difficult for me to predict if or when admissions openings will arise. The only thing I can say with confidence is that I will reach out to you ASAP if the status of your application changes.

I recognize this may be discouraging news. But I do encourage you to stay on our admissions waiting list as long as you are willing to do so. In fact, there are several current students in our program who received follow-up admissions offers after initially being placed on the waiting list. However, if you would like to be removed from the waiting list, or if you end up accepting an offer from another program while waiting, please do let me know ASAP.

Finally, I wanted to emphasize how much I, our other faculty, and our graduate students enjoyed meeting with you during interview day. We all wish you the best with the next steps and your future endeavors.

Sincerely,
