I applied to mostly California State Universities for their MA programs and University of Akron for their PhD and Claremont Graduate University's MA program. I got rejected from San Diego State, which was super competitive, 300 applicants for 5-7 spots. I just got rejected from Akron. As of now, I got into San Francisco State and Claremont Graduate.
I'm a former upper elementary teacher who is going through a career change, so I don't have any research or lab experience but I have a lot of professional experience and presenting at conferences.
I hope everyone gets into at least one of their schools of choice. It's been a tough year applying but hopefully it'll all pay off. Good luck, everyone!
