So are any of you considering taking five classes per semester at HGSE? Given that the program is relatively short, I really want to make the most of my experience. I don't really know if that's manageable though, and only talking to a student/alum will provide proper insight.
I'm considering it as well...on the TIE webinar it sounds like the students who are taking 5 classes (or four and a module or internship or assistantship) are pretty busy, but I feel like it could definitely be worth it. I am trying to keep in mind, as someone said, that "Harvard is your fifth class" though, so I'm still on the fence. There's always J-term!

Hi, do you receive any feedback from Harvard Univerisity Housing after application? I applied for the housing this Tuesday, but have not received any update yet.
Thank you.
Hi, yes I did. I received it about 3 days after I applied--hopefully you will too.

I have also paid the deposit, but haven't received any mail of this nature yet. Perhaps it's too soon, as they're just working on releasing the admissions/welcome packet first (Ed. M.). It may take a few days for things to be processed post payment, I guess.
Looks like they updated the site: "You should receive instructions from the IT department on claiming your Harvard email account by the end of May. It is important that you obtain your Harvard email address immediately as HGSE offices will be contacting you through this account over the summer and up to fall orientation."
Has anyone had any luck creating an application for Harvard University Housing? I keep getting error messages.

On the student checklist it says "You should have received instructions from the IT department on claiming your Harvard email account. It is important that you obtain your Harvard email address immediately as HGSE offices will be contacting you through this account over the summer and up to fall orientation."
Did anyone else not receive their Harvard email account yet? I already accepted and put down the deposit, but I dont seem to have the email from IT yet.

Admitted students, can someone help me understand this?:
>>We hope that you will choose to accept your offer of admission. Please notify us of your decision through the online form by April 15, 2019. If you accept, you will need to >>provide by credit card a $250 non-refundable enrollment deposit.
>>Within two weeks, we will send you a packet of admitted student information. It will include a statement of terms and conditions that must be satisfied before you will be permitted to >>matriculate.
Does this mean I need to pay the deposit first, and then they release the packet of admitted student info?
Not sure honestly, its unclear.

I'm in!!!! Congrats to all!

I think it should be next Friday. Consulted with their academic calendar.
Ugh I'm hoping for Tuesday since they've done first Tuesdays in March in the past. I'm curious as to what you saw on the academic calendar that makes you think next Friday?
Also agree with Ed_Cog, would love to hear from current HGSE students if any happen to be lurking...

So I just dug through previous HGSE threads on gradcafe, and it seems like in recent years, results were posted on the first Friday of March in the evening. I've included links to the relevant pages of these years:
2018 thread
2017 thread
2016 threadThe one exception (very relevant for this cycle) was the 2013 cycle, as the first Friday that year fell on the 1st of March, and results came out during the subsequent Friday on the 8th. Here's the relevant page from 2013. This year will be the first since 2013 when the first Friday will fall on 1st March again.
One of the posters in the 2016 thread mentioned that results had come out on the first Tuesday in 2010, 2011, and 2012. Is that why you're assuming it may be Tuesday, 5th March? That trend seems to be a bit dated so my money is on 8th March again (and perhaps the 1st if we're fortunate!).
Yes, that's why I was guessing the first Tuesday...I think there's pretty much no chance for a March 1 announcement based off of what's happened in the past but I'd be thrilled if there was. Basically I'm just praying we don't find out the second Friday because I feel like the wait will be rough! Who knows. ?♀️

Keep having dreams about the decision for my Ed.M application!! ? The wait is killer! I feel like we'll get the notification on Tuesday March 5, because of past trends. What does everyone else think?
-
Fingers crossed for everyone waiting for interview invites! Wishing you all the best. I'm an Ed.M (TIE) applicant who's dying for March to get here already!!

Anybody considering taking the How People Learn course? I'm on the fence since I will be traveling and am not totally sure what to expect workload-wise, since it'd be my first Harvard course.
