Amherst. The LLC program

I got accepted into doctoral programs at both UVa and UMass. I know tons about UVa (went there for undergrad), but not as much about UMass. Any fellow educators go there or plan to attend in the fall?
-
Thanks, @jackinstyle. Hopefully you'll get in too. Has anyone heard about funding yet? In my acceptance email it said decisions would be made my March 1, but in my interview the faculty said April 1.
-
I got accepted last nigbt too! Funny cause my interview isn't until later today... Guess it's just a "getting to know you" type of thing.
-
I earned my BA in English from UVA and am applying to the PGMT in Secondary English.
Does anyone know how competitive this program is?
I called the office, and they said admission offers should be out by this week.
I got my BA in English too! 2006-2010. Who knows, we might have crossed paths at some point

About to walk into a classroom full of hyper second graders. Slowest class ever! I couldn't wait to get out and call everyone I knew!
-
I did my BA at UVa's College of Arts and Sciences and LOVED it. I applied for their EdD and am interviewing with them virtually this Friday. But I agree, I've barely seen anyone post. Hope you hear from them soon!
-
Same here. Good luck to the rest of the thread!
-
I feel ya.... I've only had one definitive no and the rest silence. Then yesterday I got called for an interview. Anything can happen!
-
I called just now from work, but only got an answering machine once I was transferred to Learning, Teaching, and Diversity. Anyone else have better luck?
-
I'm still in limbo for most of my schools. Waiting is the worst. Plus the one rejection that came in arrived via postal mail, so now I basically run to the mailbox every day after work.
-
I am scared to call and break the limbo...
-
I contacted Peabody admissions. The person I spoke with was very kind and helpful. She said Learning, Teaching, and Diversity has not made any decisions and her best guess was middle of February. There's still hope!
We are approaching the middle of February! Has anybody heard back yet?
-
I applied to CIS too and also haven't heard anything.
-
I got my first rejection today.
-
Thank you for the info, @haihai!
-
This thread is simultaneously super inspiring and terribly depressing. This is my first time applying but it's looking like I'm going to have to reapply next year....
-
Has anyone been brave enough to email them yet? I'm scared to do do it and be told I've already been rejected...
-
-
I haven't gotten any rejections yet, but based on the results search and forums, I'm pretty sure I'm out of the running for four of my schools (I didn't land an interview and plenty of others did). So I'm left waiting to hear back from my other three, and waiting for those inevitable rejections in the mail...
-
Yeah, I did too. Specifically for Cultural Studies & Literacies. It's the program I applied to with the latest deadline.
-
Yep. Chapel Hill. I didn't think most schools did them, but I've seen several (UPenn, Vanderbilt, Harvard) requesting them.
-
There's only been one acceptance on the results page and zero rejections or interview invitations.
-
Yup. I applied to 7, which I thought was a lot, but I haven't heard from any... Now I'm wishing I had applied to safety schools. I just figured 7 was enough so why kill myself raising even more money? (All together, applying to those 7 cost me around $1,000.)

@Eruthos: I did my undergrad at UVa (graduated 2010) and will probably be returning for my doctoral degree this coming fall. I lived with two roommates on a quiet street off JPA. I could walk to class easily, and the noise levels weren't very high since it was a house off of the main road. We paid $450 each and I honestly only used my car for trips to the grocery store or outside of Charlottesville.
If I do return in August, I'll definitely be searching for something quiet again, though this time without roommates and pet friendly (I have a dog). I was thinking of living a bit farther away and paying the monthly fee for parking at the Emmet/Ivy Garage when I come to class. There are some lovely 1bdr apartment complexes (with dog parks!) around the Fashion Mall area.
http://brac.com/ is a great resource for places. When I lived there, I rented from http://velikyrentals.com/ and I never had any complaints either.
