Hi! Has this been set up?

I got in! This is so surreal!

I got the email about financial aid about 3 hours after I got the admission letter.

Thanks! My application was submitted and complete by Dec. 13, so quite a while ago. I might've heard back earlier because of that and also because mine was for the MA? Hope you hear back soon!

I received my acceptance to the MA Instructional Technology and Media program yesterday, also with a TC Scholarship.

Would you be able to share what questions they asked her?

For those that got accepted to Learning Sciences and Technologies -- what are you guys thinking? Accept or decline? What factors are you considering when making the decision? Any particular things you either love or hate about the program?

Woohoo!! Congrats!

I just got accepted to Learning Sciences and Technologies, MSEd! Also given a merit scholarship but was not invited to apply to a Dean's scholarship.

I still haven't heard back yet and I submitted my application in the second week of December. Just curious - has anyone gotten rejected? Do admissions usually leave rejections to the very end or do they send out both acceptances and rejections on a rolling basis?

So good - wish I had done that!

I'm really hoping this week is the week!

I see, thanks for sharing! That's interesting to know. I did ask if there was an MA to MEd pathway and the admissions officer I spoke to said that it's a simplified application process and you can carry over your credits (essentially just extend your degree). That's an option I can explore should I end up in TC.

I wasn't sure what the difference was besides that the M.Ed had more credits to complete (and therefore more subjects would be covered over two years). Other than that, what factors did you consider and why do you say that one is more fitting for your goals than the other?

Hi!! Haha. Did you go for the M.A or the M.Ed? This is the only one I opted an M.A for as it was a shorter program/timeframe but now I'm not so sure I made the right choice...

Anyone else apply to the Instructional Technology and Media program?

Anyone else apply to the Learning Sciences and Technologies program?

Yes, they're currently planning for in-person classes with the caveat that of course it will depend on what the situation is like closer to start of semester. This was echoed in the virtual sessions I attended.

Ah you may be right, I hadn't thought about that

No laughing at all! This is good to know, thanks!

Does anyone know when they start releasing decisions for masters programs? I've seen a big range of dates from past forums... is it rolling acceptances?

Also - that was a really good idea emailing one of the professors!

Same. My GPA isn't strong at all and I ended up not submitting GRE scores, so that lessens any confidence I have in getting in. But I'm really hoping my SOP and LORs pull through. I want decision day to get here already so at least I'll have peace of mind whatever the outcome. But we should definitely feel proud of ourselves simply for applying.

Awesome, @caxiatec! When I first learned about it, back when it was still TIE, I thought it was perfect for what I want to do. This program is why I decided to apply for masters programs in education at all actually, instead of going the "traditional" route of business school (for someone in my profession). I hope we get to meet each other in person through the program!
