Omg, I guess it is good news and bad news all in one letter. I wish you the best of luck in getting the mistake corrected. I think they owe you an admit for the correct program due to their mistake.

I am also in the same boat with another university who also has a rolling admission policy. Applied for admission consideration for Spring session, due to too many applications, the decision for my application was deferred for summer session. I am now also expecting an decision sometime this month for admission for the summer session that starts on July 5th. I agree that the waiting game is a killer. Wish you the best of luck.

Yes, I guess it is better than a rejection. I will not be moving. It is a 3 year online program requiring 2 summer doctoral residencies in Boston. Perfect for me since I do not teach during the summer semesters.

I originally applied for April 2010 admission. They got too many apps and deferred some of the apps to Summer 2010 admission. My app was was one of the ones deferred. If I get admitted, I start on July. 5th.

No luck, my app will not even be looked at until sometime in May and I will know the decision by the end of May. Wish me luck.

Still waiting to hear from the only school that I applied to. Unfortunately, they will not review any admission apps until the middle of May and let applicants know by the end of May. It is an online Ed.D program and they do not accept anyone with funding. So, I guess April will not be it for me.

Congrats and thanks for posting this. Your post gives me more confidence about taking the exam and applying to other schools that require it, if I don't get admitted to the college which I am now waiting to hear from.

You are welcome. I originally applied for April admission and my app was deferred for Summer admission due to a large number of apps. They did receive and accept my new SOP. However, they will not be reviewing Summer admission applications till the middle of May and I should know their decision by the end of May. If I get admitted, I will start July 5th.

That was a great and humorous read. Thanks for the link.

I just re-wrote mine and used all of your suggestions and sent it in today. Thanks so much for sharing.

Mistakes(typos) on my SOP!
nycrican2 replied to yoyo's topic in Statement of Purpose, Personal History, Diversity
I called my university to find out when the admission committee would meet and found out that it would not be until the middle of May so I asked if I could write a better SOP to replace the one I submitted and improve my chances. To my surprise, they said yes and asked me to email it to the admission coach directly. I just sent a new one today. So, if I had a spelling error, I would say that I wanted to write a stronger and better one instead of calling attention to the spelling error. -
He said that all Ed.D admission requests for Summer term which starts in mid July will be evaluated all at once in the middle of May so I guess I no longer need to check my email 10 times a day. Wish I had known this before. On the bright side, I asked if I can send a new and improved SOP to replace the original. He said that I could and to send it directly to him by email. Happy to have found this forum because I have learned a lot more about writing great SOP's than I knew before. Hope this helps someone.

Gee, in my opinion the person who wrote this apparently grew up in a perfectionist family and apparently doesn't really feel he/she has ever measured up to his family's unrealistic expectations. Therefore, to make him/her self feel better, must put other people down. Disclosure, not a psychologist nor plan to be.

Lol, just love this rejection letter. I just laughed so loud and really I needed some release from all of the tension that I feel. Thanks so much for the laugh.

I am right there with you on this situation, slowly losing my sanity. I have never had any trouble sleeping before now but lately I am getting 3 to 4 hours of sleep a night and I have been compulsively checking email. I don't drink so it is not an option. Will we ever get through this? Gee, where is my mama when I need her?

Love this post and you really did cheer me up. I have only applied to one school and have yet to hear anything. Thanks for the renewed sense of hope.

Anyone else applying to Ed programs this year?

I am applying to an Ed.D program in Higher Education Administration. Hope to hear something soon. -
Congrats !! By the way, I think you have earned the right to scream away.
