I am extremely grateful to be accepted into both these schools, however, I now need to make a decision! I need to choose between the MA in Teaching of English at TC Columbia, or the STEP program with a focus in Teaching of English at the Stanford GSE. Both programs are one year in length - with Stanford beginning this Summer, and TC beginning this Fall. I am a qualified teacher from Australia. The STEP program will provide me with a teaching credential in California, whereas the MA from TC is non cert. At this stage, I am undecided about what I will do after I complete the one year program (whether to return to Australia or go elsewhere). Stanford is looking like it will be around 20k cheaper based on tuition - please correct me if I'm wrong (I am yet to hear back from TC regarding financial aid). Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I am pretty disappointed that I am yet to hear anything. I've checked the admitted students portal, and nothing. When I emailed the course advisor last week he told me to expect a decision by the end of this week. Does anyone know if they send out rejection letters?

@Mona_sth I tried that and got: This Portal is only for Students Admitted to a currently active application term at Teachers College.

I emailed the course advisor for the MA in teaching of English on Monday. No reply, and still no updates. Anyone else?

I've applied for the MA in Teaching of English at TC - no word yet. Accepted into the Stanford STEP program and NYU MA in Teaching of English.

Is anyone still waiting? I've tried calling the office of admissions to ask when I should expect to hear back, but cannot get through.

@DeeBree thank you for letting me know! I'm still waiting to hear back

@DeeBree congratulations! Do you mind me asking which program you've been accepted into?

@LizKay Thanks for the tip and congratulations!!! I tried that, and got: This Portal is only for Students Admitted to a currently active application term at Teachers College Not sure if that means I'm not in...I will keep waiting for an email!

@LizKay fingers crossed you hear back soon! Could you please tell me which program you applied to? I applied to the MA in Teaching of English (am yet to hear back).

@LizKay thanks for that! Could you please tell me which program you've been admitted to?

@solmate95 thank you for that information! I've been accepted to the STEP secondary program at Stanford (teaching English), and the NYU MA in teaching of English. You said earlier that you applied to these schools also, do you know how you will decide?

@solmate95 congratulations! Just curious, were you invited to an interview before you got your offer? I've read that some MA candidates have been interviewed...

I am waiting to hear back from the program. Just curious, how did you get the verbal admission?

Anyone apply for L&L Master's hear back yet? I am starting to panic...
