Anyone heard back from the university of Wisconsin for Quantitative methods?

Based on your plans, I advice that you attend part-time instead of full-time if you're planning to apply again in the fall due to lack of funding. I don't know how it is in your field, but most schools allow you to transfer 9-12 credits (so you wouldn't waste a years worth of funding).

What field is this in? How much does the school cost? Are you allowed to attend part time (6 credit per semester)? If you really want to attend the PhD program, I would attend as a part-time student** my first year and apply for scholarships to support the next few years. If this is a STEM program, there are a lot of scholarships out there that you can apply to. Or another option, attend part-time and re-apply for PhD programs during the Fall. Most PhD programs allows you to transfer up to 9-12 credits from other school (so you wouldn't lose the first year). One thing I hate about PhD admissions process is that there's no direct formula for getting accepted, it's mostly about luck... That's my advice without knowing too much about your program. I wouldn't advice taken a year off without any job prospect within the field you want to engage in for your phd.

you can always do post-doc at harvard...

If cost of attending is not a factor for you, I would recommend CU (it will give you a leg up in the job market).

Statistics will help you with your research in general. What do you mean in minor as in having an MS in statistics along with the Phd in Psychology? If that's the case, I would go with that program. The advisors in our school encourages us to get an MS in applied statistics even though we're getting a doctoral degree. Are they preventing you from doing a dual degree (MS applied statistic and Phd Education) at Boston college?

Scholarship and Loans (currently at $100k federal loans ...I'm not even in the medical/law field) I still have 3 more years of schooling left.

IF you have no desire to continue to a PhD in the future, select the school that will cost you less in the long run. The less loan, the better life will be for you after you graduate. All three schools have great reputations in NYC. If you think you might go the PhD route 5 years from now, select Columbia.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I think it is easier for an average performing student to get accepted into an IVY league graduate program than a states/non-IVYs graduate program. The IVY league universities have established a reputation of academic excellence for many years and have been viewed as some of the most prestigious universities worldwide while most states/non-ivy schools are still in the process of constructing similar reputations. With this type of stellar reputation, all IVYS tend to attract high performing students; however, the need to select high performing students is not a necessity. They can afford to provide admission to a mixture of high and average performing students because it is unlikely that an average performing students (students with mediocre GRE scores/B+ A- gpa) would put a dent to their already established stellar reputation. In addition, the probability that an average performing student converts to a high performing student also increases as he/she is influenced by their high performing peers. Universities that are still establishing their reputation, want the best students to help them achieve that goal, therefore admitting mostly high performers. This is why I don't think an average performing students should deter themselves from applying to IVY league programs because the probability of being accepted maybe higher. Of course, there are other factors that play a role in getting accepted such as program fit between student and professors and just plain luck. This is my thought, what do you think? P.S. I'm not referring to their admission rate but the type of students they admit into their program. For example, say an IVY has an acceptance rate of 10%; they would admit 10 students of out 100. Of those 10 students , 5 are high performers and 5 are average performers. Other schools with similar acceptance rate may select 9 high performers and 1 average performer. ***excuse the grammar***

The great thing about TC statistic program is that you can be expose to the theoretical along with the applied by taking supplemental courses from the department of Statistics at CU.

--> Your Diploma will say from Columbia University not TC. Your degree is from Columbia. --> I disagree with MAC2809, there are no right or wrong way to say where you received your degree. It is not incorrect to say you graduated from Columbia university (a TC student is also a Columbia student). You are not obligated to say TC. I personally like to state "Teachers College Columbia University" on my resume because I'm very proud to have attended TC (it's a great school). You are not being disingenuous for stating "M.S. Applied Statistic Columbia University December 2017" on your resume. --I've interacted with other graduated students from Columbia University (SIPA, School of Journalism, Law School, Engineering, Business school) on many occasions and have yet to be treated less than because I attend TC. In their eyes, I'm a columbia student, not TC. I'm not sure where this notion of inferior originated from. --The issue with TC as an affiliation really boils down to the financial aspect. There are less financial resources for TC students compared to Columbia students. For example, students from other Columbia's school automatically receive 40 pages of free printing while students at TC receive 20 pages (of course there's a loophope but I won't mention it here). Another example, Doctoral programs from Columbia are fully funded while at TC, we would label that as a "miracle". In terms of Education, you will be taught by the best professors and be surrounded by highly motivated, intellectual individuals (this is something that is similar across Columbia University (affiliate or not)). --In the applied stats program, you are allowed to take Stats classes outside of the department (as long as your advisor approve...which is always a yes). I know students who have taken the required stats classes at the school of public health or the department of stats. I know other students from other columbia's school, that have taken stats classes at TC. --The Applied stat program is geared toward those who are interested in education as well as social science (i.e. Psychology, etc) in the sense you will be using educational or psychological datasets for your analysis. In general, statistic is very adaptable; I don't think it matters which dataset you have more experience analyzing, as long as you know how to analyze (which requires an understanding of statistical theories/proof etc). --The program offers two types of classes (one geared toward non-majors and the other for majors (heavily statistical/requires calculus)) My resource: Graduating from applied stat at TC this spring.

I plan to visit a few food pantries as well. I already located four in the area I will be living in. The only drawback is that they have a limit, 3 times per month. I figure, if I visit a different one every week, I should be fine. Sometimes, you can get lucky and find fruits and vegetables. I budget spending $100 per month on food that I can't find in the food pantry.

Will you be pursuing a doctoral degree afterwards? if yes, attend columbia.

You should apply for Phd or EDD programs (both are doctoral programs). If you can retake the GRE, retake the GRE. You now have the options to select which scores get sent to the admission office. Also you may want to include more schools in your list (I say apply to at least 8 schools)... Philly and NJ are not too far from NYC. I'm surprise teachers college is not on your list. Getting into doctoral programs is more about luck if anything else. If you do decide not to apply to doctoral programs and instead to EdM programs. Make sure the EdM programs allows you to transfer into their Doctoral program later on. Don't apply to terminal EdM programs.

If you want to pursue a PhD, go with columbia (it is more known nationwide compared to NYU). Graduate students are not allowed to teach classes at teachers college (just grade papers and such). You could probably applied for other scholarships that would help you offset the cost. You can also find some type of assistantship.

@russianspy Does the MA program at Hunter College provides free tuition? you should attend Columbia especially if you have any intention in the future to pursue a doctoral degree.

You can apply to PhD programs and just check yes to the question if you want your application to be reviewed for the master's program as well... Make sure you apply where there's a research fit and that there's a high number of students who enter their PhD program from their masters program. I wish someone had told me ... I would have never applied to a terminal masters...

Where is it listed on the websites?

What is The probability of going into the PHD in the human development department after completing the master of education in the same department?

I've only been in contact with the department. They are still reviewing.

Another idea is to try to look for external funding that could cover the expenses of a PhD

How come you did't get accepted to NYU? also, do you have any research experience? Did you publish your MA thesis?

If you are planning to get a PhD after completing your MSW ... Then school #1. If not, then choose whatever school you want. The country is In dire need of social workers; where you obtained your degree doesn't matter. I've worked with many social workers and to be honest I don't know what schools they went to...

Silent on my end as well... Last year, someone posted acceptance around April 9th... I'm planning to call after April 9th...

Check out APA DIVISION 36 website... They have a list of schools and faculty who are interested in the study of psychology of religion and spirituality....
