The acceptance letter I received said something about an information packet or something along those lines being mailed out within the next two weeks... Hopefully that will shed light on next steps.

Okay, not a guy.. but y'all are cracking me up. BEST. THREAD. EVER. Good luck with the facial hair.

I have been offered a place in the Arts in Education program 2011-2012. Never would have dreamed.. Good luck/Congrats to all.

I am applying to a field that I have, so far, not been directly involved in (Technical Theatre major to Arts in Education applicant). Not a negative - I see it as a totally obtainable challenge! For my application I've got: - 3 years as a technical manager of a touring museum exhibit (with a big educationally associated name). - 3 awesome LOR writers that know me well and can speak to my abilities and efforts. - A heartfelt and kick-ass statement of purpose (all my friends and colleagues say it's very "me"). A positive outlook is a great idea!! Keep the happy energy flowing.. good luck all. There are definitely some talented and amazing people posting on here.

Everyone is excited/nervous, isn't this a good place to share the pre-decision jitters? Not to switch gears, but on the topic of the online application... does anyone know if you can access your Letters of Rec after your application has been submitted? I checked the little "i'd like to be able to view these" box (or whatever it said)and could until I submitted. Two of my recommendation writers submitted their LOR after I submitted my application, but I still would like to read them. Have a feeling I can't, but thought I'd ask if anyone on here knew how. Thanks!! Only a week or so to go :-)

Rocket Man

Sorry to hear about the rejections being posted. I only applied to an Ed.M. program and my application status is still what it has been (kind of a given that the masters students get notified later)... just FYI. Getting nervous knowing they are starting to send stuff out though. Good luck to everyone :-)

Amelapay, that's a tough one... interesting though. Does anyone know if there is a place that posts the status of your financial aid application like they did with the program application? I sent the materials in, but wasn't sure I had everything I needed. I can call them if all else fails, just wanted to know if I was missing somewhere it might be listed without having to bother them. Hope everyone is having a happy February, it'll be March before we know it :-)

Hm.. I might have to try pretending there is no calendar. I don't know how happy work would be with me just showing up when I feel like it, could be interesting though! Kismet - you sound super busy! That might be a more effective less "fire-y" strategy to fit into my work schedule...

Just completed my financial aid info... which means I'm done sending stuff in. Frightening. I'm fretting over this much more than I thought I would. Hopefully the month long business trip will help keep my mind occupied. How's everyone else biding their time?

Definitely good luck on getting in everyone :-) Also good luck with the waiting.. still going crazy and trying to find stuff to keep me busy. What type of background are you guys coming from? The diversity of the students in the program is fascinating me to no end. Last night in my mad search for something to assuage my worrying, I found a bunch of HGSE videos on Youtube (perhaps you made it there sooner, I didn't even think about it) and they are pretty cute. This one specifically I thought was sweet: I am only applying to HGSE as well, I'm kinda in love with the program (even though it seems we just met) and I don't really have a desire to go anywhere else. My background is in Theatre and Themed Entertainment, I work as a technical manager for a touring children's museum exhibit. I like to say I've been working education adjacent. What area of the country are you guys in? I'm in California, and a little concerned about the cold... *sigh* but it is a sacrifice I'd be willing to make I suppose ;-)

The waiting is proving difficult.. and it only just started! I am analyzing everything even more than when I did before I submitted. Are you both coming from an Education background? March cannot come soon enough. Good grief. :-)

I posted this somewhere else, but this is probably a more appropriate place... I just sent in my application for Harvard Graduate School of Education's Arts in Education program..for year in advance so Fall 2011. Anyone else on here apply this year for fall 2010 or for year in advance fall 2011?
