Is it worth it to go for the teaching certification to keep your job options open? I don't think I want to end up working in schools. Also aren't there further requirements after grad school to get your TSSLD?

I'm a slave to my email lol, I really hope to hear something very soon

I feel like it's kinda the same thing as people who accept an offer then choose to later go to a waitlist school they got in to. I don't reallly know what else to do

I have an email tab open on my computer constantly hahaha the only thing getting me through is knowing that we're so close to finding out

Probably at a solid 7. I put in a deposit at my backup school. The school I really want to go to I also put a deposit in at but they said they can't let me know about funding until after April 15th so I have no idea what I'm doing lol. I'm on the waitlist for a graduate assistantship.

Congratulations that's so exciting!!!

Do you think we will have to wait until that Monday to hear anything back because the 15th is on the weekend?

I also feel like having a car in Boston, going to clinical placements every day, would be really stressful for me. I'm leaning toward a school with in-state tuition and a suburban setting instead. But I'm just too curious about what this scholarship involves lol. She's calling me in about an hour so I guess I'll find out soon!

Congratulations! I'm assuming it won't be that much money. Northeastern is a great school but I think it'll be too expensive for me

I emailed Lorraine Book two weeks ago and she just emailed me today telling me that I received this scholarship. She said she wanted to call me but I kind of wish she just told me the details via email. So I definitely recommend emailing her asap lol

Has anyone else received a Dean's scholarship to Northeastern? I am supposed to receive a call tomorrow to learn more about it. I tried searching online but it is hard to find information related to graduate scholarships. They're really cutting it close to the April 15th deadline and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed trying to make a good decision.

I feel like I'm in the same boat. I decided to put 2 different enrollment offers down. The school I am on the waitlist for funding said they won't know more until after April 15th. I can't afford to go without the funding so if anything, I also have a deposit at my backup school. So nervewracking. Best of luck to you!

Anyone else feel like they're gonna go crazy because we have to wait until after April 15th? I put in a deposit at another school but am really hoping to hear good news. How long after April 15th do you think we will have to wait? Good luck to everyone!

Congratulations!! That must be such a relief to hear back. I'm actually 6th on the waitlist so I feel like it could really go either way. Best of luck to you!

Right, I'm still hoping to hear back about the assistantship hopefully early next week. Where are you planning on going instead?

I'm also really interested in Ithaca. Have you heard anything back about assistantships? I don't think I could afford to go there without it. I love the area and think they have a great program for a lot of different interests though. It's important for me to get a bunch of experience in different areas because I'm not sure where I would want to work in the future.

They seem to have a lot of great clinic opportunities both on and off campus. It is a smaller program so there is not emphasis on research. But, I like the idea of a small sized cohort group. Also, your last semester, you can choose to do your clinical experience anywhere in the country so long as you get approval. Ithaca is also a great town with a lot to do whether it be hiking, eating, or shopping. For the teaching track, they require you get experience with all age groups. I'm really interested in this program but could never afford to go without an assistantship. What other schools are you looking at?

One of my missing prerequisites is Articulation and Phonology. This course was not offered as part of my undergrad degree. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions of where to take this course online, preferably in New York. Thank you!

Yeah New York had crazy weather last week! I just got my Ithaca acceptance and it was dated March 12th so I think there are some delays with everything. Driving me crazy! In the past TC acceptances have already been sent out by email by now. I read on the results page they came around 5pm so maybe today?? I definitely think this week. Good luck!

Thanks for the info! I thought for sure we would've heard from them this week based off last years results page. I think the blizzard must have caused some setbacks for all the NY schools. Hopefully early next week!

Is anyone still waiting on schools in New York? I can't wait to hear back from Ithaca College and Columbia Teacher's College. I have seen a lot of people post that they've heard back already from Ithaca from the past couple weeks so I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing for me. Best of luck to everyone!

Yes I interviewed last week. It's one on one with a faculty member. They definitely make you think but every one was super friendly

Still waiting on Mercy College, Columbia TC, New Paltz & Ithaca. So anxious!

I also got accepted into st. rose but there are 4 additional pre-requisite courses I would have to take. I'm likely not going to accept this offer for that reason and hope other schools won't have as many pre-reqs.
