Applying Fall 2013? Where?

[EdNerd2013]

I didn't see a thread started yet for this, so I thought I'd start one (instead of finishing up the 3 apps I am submitting today!).

I thought it might be helpful to have a thread to discuss this round of applications.

I'm applying for PhD for Fall 2013 to 8 schools:

UNC

UVA

USC

Northwestern

HGSE (EDLD)

UPenn

Peabody

UWashington

I'm applying to a combination of School Psychology, interdisciplinary studies, and Educational Leadership/Policy programs.

Where are you all applying? What programs?

[swimswithsharks]

I'm applying to:

UC Santa Cruz

UC Berkeley

University of San Francisco

San Francisco State University

All for programs in education, with a focus on multicultural education.

[CQE]

Applying to Harvard and BC. Already accepted into Penn.

All Master's programs in education. Penn & BC are for teaching elementary and secondary, respectively. Harvard's program is for "prevention science", which is counseling, essentially.

Also applied to two MA programs at other schools as back-up options, though I'm not sure if I would go to those even if I get rejected elsewhere. Right now UC Berkeley is my first choice because of excellent faculty match.

Good luck to you Ray! I am curious about your application process. Were you able to get any feedback regarding why you weren't admitted? How did you go about improving your application? Are you applying to the same programs? I applied to PhD programs straight out of undergrad 4 years ago and didn't get accepted. That experience showed me that I had I still had a lot of work to do. This time around, I feel more confident about my application.

I may apply to UVA and Johns Hopkins but right now I'm undecided. I received an acceptance letter from UPenn's Reading, Writing, and Literacy program. Good luck to everyone!!

Hi Ew33! Thanks for wishing me good luck

About you questions,

My experience may be a bit different with other applicants who had tried multiple years because I made a significant change in the programs I'm applying to.

Last year I mostly applied to the programs in Linguistics departments. Since my MA degree is sociolinguistics I thought it'd make more sense to do so. but later I realized my research interests are more social than linguistic. Also, I have a strong background in Education so I decided to apply to the programs in the field of Education this year.

I did try to improve my application of course...

Score and work experience wise, my GRE score is slightly better and I've done 6 month internship at a UN agency.

And I've tried to improve the quality of my SOP.

I can definitely say that I'm more confident than last year but last year's all-rejection experience doesn't really boost my morale.

I hope this helped anyway! and good luck to you as well

[gplanet15]

anyone got any replies back from UW Madison regarding ed psych PhD program?

[Graham17]

anyone hear from UMaryland CP?

Ni hao, friends. I'm living in China right now, so my school choices are ultra-selective since I can't get out and visit schools at the moment. If nothing pans out, I'm planning on applying to more reasonable choices for 2014, when I have more time to visit campuses and look at things harder. It's kind of hard to do from Asia!

 

Penn GSE (Teaching, Learning, and Teacher Education PhD)

Teachers College Columbia (Curriculum & Teaching EdD)

 

I'm also applying for readmission at the University of New Mexico, where I was a PhD student five years ago. I'm not sure I'll head back to New Mexico when I return to the states, but I figured I'd leave the option since readmission is much less of an ordeal than the initial application was.
