  1. Thanks for being so kind. Do you think that you are going to get financial aid? How much does the program cost?
  2. I got rejected from the Harvard Education Masters program. I was wondering what kind of stats they would be looking for. If anyone could share some success stories I would be very grateful. Maybe I will apply again next year. What kind of stats are they looking for?
  3. Yeah, I have a co-authored publication which is actually a Policy initiative that was presented to the Florida legislature. Also, I currently have two articles under review, one which made up the writing sample for my application. I guess I may have to try and get at least one of these published before I reapply. From my understanding, I should be ahead of most of the applicants in this regard. I guess these factors did not trump my low GRE verbal and AW score. What can I say, I froze up on this part of the test. I was hoping that the admissions committee would understand. Guess not :wink:
  4. If anything you can try to transfer after you receive your masters. I have a question for anyone who may have input or advice. I have so far been rejected from just about every school that I have applied to. I have had research experience, 1240 GRE (770 math 470 verbal), 3.4 undegrad GPA, 3.91 graduate gpa, 4 good letters of rec, and a masters in sociology. Now, I realize that I applied to some very competitive schools (northwestern, johns hopkins, washington, cornell, ect.) but, what the hell, I am getting rejected everywhere. I am finishing my masters now at a top 40 research school in soc. What did I do wrong and is there any appealing that can be done to get me into these schools that have already rejected my application? Any advice? Thanks all,
  5. Due to the recent postings, should I assume that I am not accepted to UMASS?
  6. Not yet... When did you hear from Cornell? Any info on funding yet? Congrats!
  7. "I was accepted to the University of Washington-Seattle a few weeks ago. Johns Hopkins is currently in the process of reviewing applications and will be notifying sometime in the next 2 weeks." Did you receive a fellowship from Washington? Im wondering why some people still have not heard as of yet. Are you planning on going there or have better schools in mind. Please share your stats if you wouldnt mind. It's always a mystery what they are looking for.
  8. Thanks for the input. Yeah, my significant other needs to find a secondary school teaching job wherever I get accepted. This is mandatory. My anxiety is cumulatively rising since I have not been accepted anywhere yet. Has anyone else heard from Cornell, Johns Hopkins, Washington-Seattle, Yale, Columbia, Northwestern? Anyways, Best of luck to all. P.S. Do you think Amherst is hard to get into? It is my back up but at this point I am unsure about everything.
  9. No, havent heard from PENN. Just wondering, how did you like Amherst? Grad Program? Town?
