Where are you doing your Ph.D?
-
What program did you go to instead? The only reason I'd go to Harvard is if I didn't want to jump straight into a PhD... but I think I'm ready, and the UCB/SFSU program is offering everything I could want. No news on funding/financial aid yet.

Thank you all. This has all been incredibly helpful, and I really appreciate your advice! I'm visiting Harvard this Sunday-Tuesday, and afterwards I can make an informed decision... but I'm pretty sure I'll be heading to Berkeley. THANK YOU!!!

Joint PhD UCB and SFSU- Special Education!
-
Hi! I know I'm a year late, but I'm a newly admitted student to this program. Did you end up going?

Hey all. I need some help deciding. In addition to being admitted to HGSE's Specialized Studies program, I've been admitted into UC Berkeley and SFSU's Joint PhD program in Special Education. Both are amazing programs but two very different commitments. I believe my end goal is a Ph.D., and the Berkeley/SFSU program is a wonderful one for my research interests and needs. However, I wasn't eligible to many PhD programs this time around since I didn't have a masters, and am wondering if it's worth taking a year to do the Harvard program so that I would be eligible for more PhDs next time around... what do you think? A bird in the hand? My research interests are really specific and UCB/SFSU is really open and supportive to what I want to do... it seems like the right decision, but I'm having trouble imagining turning down a masters from Harvard and imagining all of the "what if" scenarios that could happen if I go that route... Help? Thank you!!

How are you guys handling the anxiety? I have been so nauseous this week and can barely eat. Any tips for getting through the waiting and going about your day?
