Good Idea! Here are my stats: 
School: Vanderbilt Peabody
GPA: 3.5ish/4 Human and Organizational Development (had rly low GPA for sophomore year but pulled it up later on)
GRE: V: 161, Q: 157, W: 5.0 
Experiences/Activities:
- A few internships in education and technology related companies
- I’m applying straight out of college as well but I tried to find internships and work every summer and winter break
- Took a gap year in Europe researching foreign language acquisition process
LOR: 2 professors, 1 from work
(Prolly won't be admitted due to inconsistent GPA. Also, I found out that I made several stupid grammatical errors in my essay after submission so...yeah...)

Good luck! Hopefully we will have a decision by this Friday assuming if there will not be any delays... 

I have had technology-related educational experiences but almost all of my professional experiences are during my summer internships. Not sure if that would count as much as a full time job, but I guess it's better than nothing. Fingers crossed! 

Hey everyone, I was wondering how many people in this thread applied to the master's program without much experience directly from undergrad? I have decent academic background but I am a bit afraid that my lack of professional and full time experience might earn me a rejection

That's an interesting perspective!!

I got in!  I was working alone at the library today (no patrons at this hour other than curbside)...  
I screamed in glee, then did a victory lap through the stacks and twirled in the children's section. 

A professor told me it would be this week. 

wait I swear on the day my Penn decision came out I had just had the dream the night before about decisions coming out

Thanks for trying!! If anyone calls at 1pm or later let us know ?

Hoping the good news comes soon for us all! Definitely is strange since I was so sure HGSE would've told us on Friday, yet here we are still waiting.
No matter what, appreciate all of you here in GradCafe! This journey so far has been amazing because of each of you, and I look forward to the rest of the journey regardless of the decision from HGSE for each of us. Rooting for the decisions to be released as soon as possible!

shit my anxiety just went through the roof.

I should have left a comment and say I saw that lol

When you get the notification that you have been admitted, that video goes out along with the confetti saying, "Congratulations!!" and there is also a letter to you.  I hope you all get admitted!!  The time is near!!

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.

Probably not today they emailed be back today saying "by mid march if possible." Would probably be the end of this week or next week

It is very likely a fluke that I was able to access the admitted students website BUT while I am here I am looking around and there are a lot of virtual events starting March 22, so they gotta tell us before then!
