Firstly, Congratulations! I didn't receive any notice of funding in my acceptance letter and neither was I notified by the program/department. That's awesome you are receiving a scholarship though and I would definitely pursue RA and TA positions if they're available...In my application, I also put "No" to the question about considering a masters as I too have one already (in Education and Human Development). It seems you have a lot to contemplate given the scholarship, the possibility of an assistantship, credit transfer, and your eagerness to get started. To be completely honest, I had already accepted another offer for a PhD prior to receiving the acceptance letter from TC so it wasn't even worth considering. I also did not want to hold up any wait listed applicants (if TC/Meas. and Stats program even has one). There's a whole other section on making a decision in this forum. Definitely look into that if you haven't already. Good luck!

I heard from TC on 3/17. I got accepted but they bumped me down from the PhD program in Measurement and Statistics to the M.Ed. program. I already have my masters and they offered no funding either so I didn't have to think twice about rejecting them. I also haven't heard from Berkeley (I applied to POME) either. This is also my second year applying to PhD programs since I too got rejected from all programs I applied to last year. Did the same thing with the time off with regards to contacting professors, taking the GRE again, and I also researched more programs as I applied to 14 this round. I hope you get into Berkeley!

That's awesome. I hope you hear about your acceptance soon!

Same happened to me last year as well. Indeed it sucked for a little bit but I enjoyed the break and took the extra time to prepare and focus on this years applications. Keep it pushing. That's good news though, right? I still haven't heard from them but I already got accepted to my first choice and I'm leaning heavily towards them unless one of the schools I applied to makes me an offer I can't refuse.

I got rejected from that program earlier this week. Still waiting for NYU and Berkeley as well. (different programs though)

Yes, thank you for the insight charabanc!

DOUBLE BUMP.

Hello, I just received an email to check the application website and opened a rejection letter to UMD's meas., stats., and eval. program. Stay positive, no news is better than bad news right? Good Luck!!

Same. No word yet.

Yes. I applied to 5 PhD programs last year and got rejected from every single one of them. But hey, you either go big or you go home....needless to say, I ended up going home. Lol.

I applied to UCLA's PhD program in Education with a focus on Social Research Methodology. I haven't heard anything yet. I applied last year but to a different program and got rejected around early March. Hopefully I'll have better luck this year. Good luck to everyone!

wrong directions

Congrats! I applied for the Measurement and Evaluation PhD for Fall 2014. No word yet.
