Hi everyone! Here has been pretty quiet for a while...how's everyone doing? I apply for the MA program on human development and social intervention, did anyone apply for the same program? I've called the admission office a couple of time, and received the same answer as they will announce in late March or early April. Does anyone have experiences/knowledge about the 'admission pattern" and can kindly give me some guidance on it? such as how do they usually announce results, etc. Thanks in advanced!

Hi! I just received the acceptance letter (mail) a couple of days ago, and no words on finaid at all either. I'm looking into the financial aid handbook now (just updated on March 1: http://www.bc.edu/schools/lsoe/gradadmission/meta-elements/pdf/2010HANDBOOK_March1.pdf) and will apply for various assistantships. I'm sure you also got this information in your package =) I have the same question as you actually - whether anyone received RA/TA position in education faculty and how we can apply for it...I'm very keen on involving in some of community/research projects lead my professors. On a separate not, I just got rejection from harvard (>"<, sigh, well, at least i fight for it already), but still waiting for NYU at the moment. it's likely I'm gonna settle in Boston...=D

Hi, I don't think so - I applied for AIE program but got rejection this morning (goodbye my dream program), so I think you can be positive and keep waiting for the inividual notice sent by the admission office. Congrats to everyone by the way

Hi mmmcoffee, thank you =). unfortunately, at this point, I don't know (was in ecstacy and forgot to ask more in the call...) but will update when I see the admission letter.

Hi edgrade, yes, I saw your post and that's why I decided to call =D. I've never visited BC before (was considering to visit schools before applying, but no time out from work...) and don't think I will be able to visit - I'm far away in Bangkok now, and it also costs a lot to fly there. Once I receive results from other 2 schools, I will probably set up some phone calls with existing students to understand each school program better to make decision (well, provided i have other options!) By the way, may i ask you how did you get to know your result? I noticed your post was back in feb 20ish... Best luck to both of us!

Hi everyone, I didn't see relevant and recently existing topics about Lynch School of Education, so just gonna start a new one. I just called the admission office and apprently they have made decisions and are preparing to send out both acceptance/denial mails to all applications, which is expected to arrive by mid of march. They are reluctant to inform applicants any results through phone call, but then if you try a bit more, some staff might be more flexible on that. I was informed that I got acceptance over the phone call just now (HAPPY). Since this forum has helped me to understand the "admission pattern" of schools (although also increases my level of anxiety), I just gonna share my profile below: Field applied (at BC): MA on Applied Developmental and Educational Psychology Working Experiences: nearly 4 years experiences in an US based NGO (working on education, health, migration issues) Asia regional office in Bangkok Thailand. Education: B.A. in Philosophy (Taiwan) - GPA: 3.6, M.A. in Communication Studies (Ball State University, Indiana) - GPA 3.44 >>> I also had one year TA experience when I was at BSU TOEFL (iBT): 111/120 GRE: V 490, Q760, W3.5 (I bombed my writing) ROL/SOP: Excellent (I think...) I only applied for 3 schools, I'm still waiting for the results from HGSE (MA on Arts in Education) and NYU Steinhardt (MA on Human Development and Social Intervantion) Anyone has any results/information on this two programs? I'm dying to know the result from HGSE...
