Hi, Thanks for your reply! I am currently doing bench research in molecular genetics in Boston. I have a BA in Biology as well! I am an international student, so unfortunately there aren't very many outside funding opportunities for me. I was wondering, when they say "students are expected to obtain at least master's-level competency in their mathematical or scientific discipline," do you know how specific the scientific discipline can get? For instance, can I get a masters in molecular biology? I ask because I didn't come across any faculty member whose research was Biology-related. (I don't know if we should be chatting someplace else!)

Hi everyone, I am interested in applying to the International Education Policy Program. My background, however, is in a totally unrelated field. I am currently working in a molecular neurogenetics lab doing bench research, but found myself getting more and more drawn to education. Besides some informal classes that I taught in my parent's school in Nepal, I don't really have any experience in the education field. GRE Scores: V: 163, Q:160. Should I wait for another year to gain some more relevant experience? Or will they trust me enough based on my theoretical ideas? Also, what about the funding the program? Any way to apply for funding? Don't really want loans :'( Thanks for your help!

Hi! I am very interested in the SESAME program as well! Unfortunately there don't seem to be any other programs of that nature (that are not teacher training oriented). In any case, are you clear about the funding for SESAME? I was a bit confused as they don't really go into detail about it on their website. I would appreciate any information about it!
