Anyone attending the CRA program?

Seriously confused here. I have very competitive funding at MSU and Peabody. MSU coursework isn't best suited for me - it is quite quant and econ heavy - but my advisor is amazing and really well known in the field and in my home country. Community Research and Action coursework is AMAZING and very much in line with my interests and faculty interests align but I wouldn't have as much support to research in home country. HELP?

Cambridge and UCL - no funding yet, but thinking about waiting it out. Thoughts?

Any news or is it time to give up hope already?

AHHHH THE WAIT IS TOO MUCH

Ahhh the anxiety is stressing me outttt

I'm waiting to hear back from other programs - I have an offer at MSU in Education Policy and at UMN in Comparative Education. I'm really lucky to have this dilemma, but it is quite hard to decide!

Hello! I got accepted to the CRA program. So happy to see this thread going

That's exactly what they said to me. I wished they'd just tell me ALREADY

Anything for HDE?

Haha hello there!

Has anyone heard from Clark's developmental psych program?

School: Georgetown, Michigan SOE, Minnesota CEHD Area: Human Development and Policy (Georgetown), Child Development (Minnesota), Education and Psych (Mich SOE) Rationalization: Generic email about careful reviews and too many applicants. Comment: As an international student, I'm not sure how much of a shot I have. I have a relatively high GRE score and a really strong academic record. Honestly not sure what they are looking for. Pretty upset about Minnesota since I had a super interested POI who had asked to review her paper and what not. Georgetown was a really strong research fit. Not very surprised about Michigan. Coping tactics: Focusing on my new job which involves talking to lots of tiny humans, fighting with my SO, making travel plans, and generally trying to look for other opportunities I might be interested in. Plus, waiting patiently for more rejections to come my way. 0

Fascinating stuff!

What is this financial aid form everyone is talking about? Is it different from the supplemental data thing? In which case, I am screwed huehue?

No word from Harvard or Stanford. I was thinking of writing to Harvard but not sure how wise that would be.

Well that is absolutely terrifying.

No news yet! Fingers crosseeddd

I've applied to HGSE, Stanford GSE (DAPS), Michigan SOE (CPEP), Minnesota Child Psych, Northwestern SESP, and Berkeley GSE. I have a BA in Psych from a really good university in India, and a Master's from a top school in the UK. GRE V/Q/A: 164/162/5.0 ; got TOEFL exemptions. One conference presentation, one publication. A lot of work and research experience in education and psych. Hoping I have a decent shot! What about you?

Yess! @mjsmith I'm so anxious, I don't think we'll hear from Harvard till March? Congratulations on UGA! I haven't heard from any school I've applied to!

Anyone applied for PhD HDLT?

I applied to Georgetown's Human Development and Policy but haven't heard from them as yet! Completely mortified!
