Hola! I guess this is my first public declaration of intent to apply!
Thank you for starting the thread @Edugy! I am very hopeful that you get in this time around!
Program/Concentration: Ed.L.D.GRE Score: Will be taking in October. Took the GMAT years ago. I think I will do average or possibly slightly better on the GRE.GPA: 3.3 undergrad / 3.3 gradWork Experience: Entrepreneur since the age of 16, 2 years in private sector, 1 year non-profit, 6 years teaching Undergrad/Grad Institution (Public, Private, Ivy, etc..): Mid-sized Private University, Nationally Ranked Research School for BSED & MBA Research Experience: n/a for the program I am applying for. However, I have done 2 years of educational equity research, 4 years of school culture research. LoR/SoP: 1 wild card (don't want to say here because I think it ~could be a unique approach but...lol, who knows), 1 from MBA program director who can speak to my special circumstances in both undergrad and grad school, 1 from either Superintendent of my district or Deputy Superintendent whom I have developed a program with. SoP...not done yet. Been carrying around a notebook and jotting down ideas for the past few weeks. Will speak to my passion for equity in education, my previous success in driving system-level change and how I would like to effect change moving forward. What Other Schools Are You Applying To: None. This is the only school/program I am interested in at this point. It's the perfect intersection of my passions.
Hope that others chime in!
