I am wondering where everyone is looking to live and how far you are commuting in? We just signed on a place 3 T stops from Harvard Square. Are you all mostly looking in the heart of Cambridge (within walking distance) or a commutable distance by T?

Accepted! Thank you all for being such a supportive community- it has been so nice to know I haven't been alone in my waiting and excitement!

Hi Everyone, Just stumbled on this forum. I have applied to the HGSE Ed. Policy and Management program for Fall of 2016 admission. Stat: GRE: 164 Verbal, 157 Quant. 5.5 Analytical Writing GPA- 3.4 undergrad- I had a "rough transition" freshman year but my gpa for my sophomore-senior years was a total of 3.9 Experience: Teaching English Lit in a rural high school in Maine for 5 years, Worked with an international school in China to develop curriculum and have established a collaborative relationship via teacher exchanges, coach varsity sport for 5 years. Undergrad- Top Ranked teaching program- state university- full academic scholarship I have excellent recommendations, and hopefully a strong- if not slightly risky, very passionate SOP. I am worried that my "standard" teaching background is a detriment to my admission. I am a leader in my school and passionate about working in and helping my rural community. I am also concerned about my weak undergrad GPA and the fact I attended a state university. Anyone else here applying for Policy and Management? Any specific goals you have in mind for this degree?
