  1. You are funny! Good luck with your apps.
  2. I hear that unofficial results are making their way out.
  3. Great info everyone, thanks…have you all heard anything about HDLT concentration?
  4. Apologies if this is a repeat thread… Any gradcaforum peeps hear back yet from Education PhD programs at OISE or McGill? Fingers crossed…fingers crossed...
  5. Do you think that is for EdLD only? I am hoping to hear from HDLT, but at this point I'm pretty much assuming it's a no-go...
  6. We will persevere.... And if by child labor you mean having a baby, nah, this is definitely worse!
  7. Don't worry, Sunshinegrl! I'm sure you came across great! I think interviews are mostly to verify a) you are the person you claim to be on your application, and b ) you're not insane.
  8. Keeping me feeling positive, jackinstyle! I needed that...
  9. Anyone hear from Indiana U. - Literacy, Culture & Language Education PhD?
  10. I wonder the same thing…like you, lucerovespertino, I have no publications. A mentor professor told me recently that the key element for admissions to a PhD program is finding the right fit with a faculty member, research-wise. Does the proposed research align with research interests among faculty at school X? Are there enough professors there with expertise in that field to form a dissertation committee? This is my first time applying for PhD programs. Already, I wish I knew back in October what I know now…I would have made contact with one or more professors at each of the schools before applying. As it is, I only connected with a couple of the schools. Additionally, if I go through this again, I will do the process in reverse: seek out professors who are actively publishing in the areas that I am interested in, and apply to their schools. This may seem common sense to many applicants, but I guess I wasn't aware of these things before applying. Live and learn! (two rejections later…) Anyhow, best of luck to everyone -- it seems like a very dedicated group on the forum here. I hope we all find good homes for our doctoral study!
  11. I suppose you're right…I just feel weird about the new, obsessive me. Or, wait, have I always been like that?
  12. I just hope they don't monitor how many times an applicant checks the app status!
  13. Teaching full time…trying to stay focused on that. So difficult!
