Officially rejected as well. Strangely I feel nothing. I think I already knew because of the lack of interview.

What did they ask you? I'm wondering how individualized the interview are.

Good luck! Let us know how interview goes. When is it scheduled for?

Hey all, I am wondering about interviews. What kinds of questions will they ask?

Tell me more! I have done little in the way of EdTech, but know it has the potential for major entrepreneurship and change within the educational system. I want to be a part of that. What company do you work for?

I am TIE hopeful as well. I haven't seen a whole lot of TIE applicants. What remote work do you do? I would love to get involved in EdTech.

I am applying to Harvard GSE's Ph.D. in Education. I have a bachelor's in history education and TESOL education from a low tier unversity and an online master's in curriculum and instruction. I am currently finishing up an Ed.S. (Educational Specialist) degree in Leadership and Cognitive Science which is 37 doctoral credits also from an online university. I am not super thrilled about my chances but know that the 37 doctoral credits will help me get my foot in the door. I am going to request that if I am not accepted, I want to be considered for an Ed.M. If I have an Ed.M from Harvard, will I have a better chance of getting into their PhD program after the 9 months? Obviously its not assured, but will I just be wasting 50-70k?
