Yes that is from the two scholarships combined. I did not fill out the FAFSA. Also wow that is such a bummer / a little sketch that they don't renew it. I asked about renewal to the financial aid office (data pts around avg scholarship in year 1 vs. year 2, % students who get a renewal of equal or greater amount, etc.) and they didn't answer those questions!

Thank you! This is helpful!

To clarify, the $15.5k isn't tuition covered + $15.5k stipend on top of it, but rather I would still have to pay tuition and the $15.5k is more like financial aid/scholarship to help cover that tuition cost. Let me know how the chat goes! Would love to know how much room there is for negotiation and what not Do you know if TC usually covers tuition + gives some sort of stipend on top of that for Ph.D. students? Or are Ph.D. students at TC self-funding?

Awesome! Congrats, and nice to meet you too I don't know anyone who has gone to TC so super glad to hear that everyone has had a positive experience. So I got $15.5K for the first school year -- it's not clear to me if that # depends on taking 12 units per semester or whether I can take fewer (9 units or 6 units). It's also not clear that it'll be renewed year on year. Hopefully the # doesn't drop if you don't take a full load, since I'm planning on working part time and will probably only take 9 or 6 units. I'll ask fin aid and update you! Is the Cogsci in Education Ph.D. program fully funded (tuition covered + stipend)? I know that clinical psych is (https://www.tc.columbia.edu/counseling-and-clinical-psychology/clinical/degrees--requirements/clinical-psychology-phd/funding/), but I'm curious about the Cogsci program! Did you get funding?

Hey! Nice to meet you all! I was accepted into the Cognitive Science in Education M.A. program today and am just wondering if anyone has a sense of how prestigious this program is / how prestigious the Teachers College is in general. I have a few other grad school offers and don't have a sense of how to compare this program to the others in terms of academic caliber, student experience, what doors are opened for this program's graduates, etc. I'm also wondering if anyone knows whether it would be possible for a Cognitive Science in Education M.A. student to continue onto the Cognitive Science in Education Ph.D. program with minimal effort, granted the student has good grades, good recs, etc., or whether they would have to re-apply. Any insight into the program would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!

Has anyone heard from UPenn?

exactly how I feel - UCLA and Columbia are my top choices - should I cross them off the list? Should I try to reach out to the program myself? To my POI? (I had a call with my POI prior to applications being due so I thought I had a decent chance?) Did POIs who were previously taking students become unable to? Who knows ?

Like everyone else today, just wondering about a few schools: UCLA, Northwestern, and UPenn! Has anyone heard back / Have interviews gone out? Thanks y'all!

hey there! what's the guidance on reaching out to professors for updates? would that come off as desperate/rude or as eager/very interested? patience is a virtue but certainly not one that i have ?
