Rejected...the rejection letter was very short and mentioned high number of quality applications for limited spots. Congrats to everyone who got in!

About two more hours (hopefully). It has been a pleasure getting to know you all on this forum! No matter what happens, I'm grateful for the space to connect with you all. Best of luck to everyone

HAHA! That is a good point....

lol I may or may not have just set an alarm for midnight

As in today? What time zone for midnight?

Hi! There is a thread called HGSE 2021 under the Education Forum A lot of us have been chatting in there! We don't know the definite day, but we are hoping decisions come out tomorrow!

Doesn't look like it...at this point I'm just hoping to find out before the weekend.

Love that positive affirmation!!! Hoping the longer wait will be worth it for all of us

HAHA! Glad I watched in time, but now I will be super bummed if I get that rejection letter ?

Agreed. Stanford admits half of the students that HGSE does and 1/3 of the students that Penn does... Probably safe to say if someone was accepted to Stanford then they will also be accepted to PENN and HGSE (if it's a similar program)...of course there are exceptions still.

Oooooo!!! Do you mind sharing what some of the virtual events are?

Depends on the program! The program I applied to had a deadline then rolling admissions until they filled all of the spots...that particular program has finished sending out initial acceptances and everyone has a March 31st deadline to respond before they move on to the waitlist.

I'm predicting it will be this Friday or next Monday/Tuesday (but hopefully sooner) ? My thought is they will want to give everyone at least a month before the national acceptance deadline on April 15th.

Good point about the doctoral applications... I guess time will tell! I wish we had insight about the exact week/day/time. I’m trying to stay occupied and not think about it, but it’s been a rough time ?

That is correct!!

My application says "2021-2022 academic year for Ed.M. and C.A.S." on the application portal. I only applied for the Ed.M., so I was wondering if it says this for anyone else....?

Well now I’m just hoping for next week! Late March doesn’t leave enough time to make decisions...

Bummer! But at least we can all stop checking the portal for the time being.

I was taking the GRE on the day that HGSE released decisions for the online masters this past summer... it definitely didn’t help my score lol

I go back and forth thinking about whether it will be today or next week...Still checking the portal like crazy. I’m also holding out hope that if it’s not today maybe they will let us know sooner than next Friday.

It's back up for me now.

I sure hope so...maybe they're updating the website

I tried and it's not for me either.

Very true...I'm seriously hoping to hear back tomorrow...another week of waiting will be rough

I saw this article on Twitter if anyone hasn't seen it...goes more in depth about the new programming. I didn't realize coursework would start in June! https://www.gse.harvard.edu/news/21/02/hgse-launches-redesigned-masters-program?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=hgse_organic
