Hey @Yoobo! I'm planning to apply to the HDE program (with a higher ed. concentration). Nice to see someone else looking to apply to the same program. To me, sounds like you'll be an excellent applicant! Happy to chat more if you like. 🙂

Hey everyone! Glad to be jumping in with this group! Found the groups very helpful in previous years when I applied. I worked with @graciasadios to update the admissions data file he created to include the most recent 5 years of data from what people have posted in various threads in GradCafe. Hopefully people find it useful. Definitely saw some interesting data as I was going through the different threads and filling out this sheet as best I could (in terms of admitted students, students that were not admitted, and financial aid awards). I'm planning to apply again this upcoming cyc

One option might be to see who has published in journals focusing on this area. Off-hand, I am aware of at least one journal that focuses on veterans (Journal of Veterans Studies). Looking at who has previously published in this journal could be a good start to identifying who is doing this work (or similar work). One other point to consider it to echo what others have said here and to slightly broaden your search in terms of departments/Ph.D. programs. Student affairs administration and social work are a couple of fields that come to mind for me as places that would likely have faculty w

Thank you very much for the compliments! I appreciate them. Obviously disappointed with the decision I received, but I'll keep trucking along. Perhaps HGSE is meant to be down the road as opposed to now. We'll have to just wait and see.

It was a no for me. Bummer. Congrats to all that got in!

Just logged into mine and not seeing anything that wasn't there before...….😬 Just to check....is this the same application login where we all applied? Or is it another portal?

When I applied a few years ago, they sent all notifications at the same time. Doubt this has changed, but perhaps a more recent applicant can confirm this?

That would be AMAZING! If anyone does happen to hear early....please please PLEASE share it here!

I think this'll be the day too, for the same reason PENNYLIUPPPPP says. This has been the pattern for like 6 or 7 years going through the past HGSE threads here on GradCafe.

Hey all, Just a reminder that for the applicants submitting a FAFSA application for financial aid (I think just for U.S. citizens applying, but I could be wrong), HGSE says it needs to be submitted by Feb 21st. Getting closer! Rooting for all of us here!

Just wanted to wish good luck to the Ed.L.D. applicants here, and hoping for good news for you all on the interview front here soon! Now just another 5ish weeks of waiting for myself and others for the Ed.M. decisions 🙃

I got the email today as well.

Good luck to all the PhD applicants waiting! Fingers crossed, and cheering you all on from here. 🙂

If it is like it has been the past several years, it seems the Ed.M. application decisions are sent out via email the first Friday in March. If it stays that way, then March 6th should be the golden day. Praying that HGSE stays consistent!

Hi all, Excitedly/nervously/hopefully just submitting my application...was worried when one LOR writer was taking a LOT longer than they said they would, but got the confirmation it is in now. Fingers crossed for all of us when decisions are made in the coming weeks and months. Glad to have this virtual community while going through all of this (and through all that is to come as well)!
