Hey There, I know I'm late to the party. I was waitlisted at USC, but is there a ranking system for the waitlist? Thanks! Also, is the waitlist just a fancy term for denied or have applications been denied?
I will also be withdrawing my acceptance. I received my financial aid award letter and I'm not too happy with it. I hope you get my spot if it's where you really want to go and you don't mind the cost. Mine was for the skirball campus though, so idk how it works.

Go to an Information Session - since you are local you absolutely should. I attended not one, but two. And it was extremely informative regarding the application process and what to aim for in the GRE. You can ask about the GPA in a session. I had also emailed a professor ahead of time just to see if he was accepting new advisees, and he ended up offering to meet with me in person (this doesn't always happen though)! This was extremely helpful! Take advantage of being local, it really gave me that much more of an edge. I feel kind of bad, though for those who did not have this advantage. The Statement of Purpose is *very* important, as I was told by the professor.
Thanks! Yeah I'm waiting for the info sessions to start up this coming fall. I've actually tried emailing professors multiple times and I've gotten no response. I might just have one of their colleagues introduce me in an email since I am close to people in other offices who know them. I've done research under the human development department within gseis with Dr. Mistry as well, so I may ask her to introduce me to someone in the specific department I am interested in. I'm still really torn between both social science and comparative Ed and higher ed since I love both so much.

I am interested in the SSCE program because I love the literature on CRT and cultural capital especially within the context of education. I actually am not interested in teaching k-12 at all, I would like to go into academia or policy. I am also a Gates Scholar and SSCE is fully funded for me. I am somewhat torn between HEOC though because most of my research has been done within the context of higher education, access and retention, but pulling in the socio-historical factors as well.

I am an undergraduate at UCLA interested in SSCE, but I don't know if my application is strong enough. What are some things you recommend? Sorry I know it's unrelated to your question.

Hi everyone, I am a new poster but I have been following the forums for about a month. I just received my acceptance to USC and I received a later email from financial aid and although I am happy I got accepted I only received a $6,000 scholarship from the program. Do any of you know if there will be scholarship offers will be made later or is that it I'm not too happy about paying 80K for my degree.
Chances of getting into a doctoral program in education?
