Thanks so much for your notes-- super helpful

Hey! Sorry for the late response and thanks for your kind words. My application was marked ready for review Dec. 22 and I was notified that my decision was available Jan. 22. I was really surprised by the quick turnaround, and from what I've heard from others it is not common to hear back that quickly. Good luck to you!

hey there! i was accepted into the M.S.Ed in Education, Culture, and Society at UPenn with a 10,000 scholarship. a few questions: do folks who have gotten in / received merit scholarships recommend asking for more aid/scholarships if other schools offer you more / have you had success with that? additionally, after merit scholarships go out, is more aid usually offered? also, i'm curious to hear if anyone knows what the students body looks like in terms of career-focused students // students interested in obtaining a PHD/pursing further research. I am potentially interested in getting a PHD after the program, but want the option of applying skills i develop while in the program to a career and leveraging the degree for new opportunities. i am currently a nonprofit manager with 4 years of experience, and don't want to spend a ton of money on a degree if it won't substantially impact my career. any and all experiences/anecdotes about the program would be super helpful! it's my top choice by far (i already live in philly) and one of only three schools i applied to, so i'm trying to take into consideration all factors in making my choice of whether or not to enroll.
