Hello everyone! I will be applying to the HGSE ELOE program for the 2024 cohort. I look forward to talking with you all about the application process. I just watched the ELOE webinar that was conducted recently (found here: https://www.gse.harvard.edu/admissions-and-aid/recorded-webinars) and it was super helpful! I took time to fill out this template that Here2Teach offered (Thank you!!) Program/Concentration: Education Leadership, Organizations, and Entrepreneurship with a concentration in early childhood GRE: I didn't take the GRE and I was planning on not taking it 😬 Work experience: 5 years experience as a business owner (not related to education), 3 years of professional teaching experience (mostly ECE) and 2 years of volunteering as a teacher's assistant Undergrad: BA in Psychology (UC Berkeley), AA in Psychology and Elementary Teaching Prep (Heavy focus on child development) Undergrad GPA: 3.94 Research: No formal research other than the meager independent researches I did in my education fieldwork classes. I may reference my papers in my SOP and ~maybe~ my CV. my former GSI suggested ways in which to mildly embellish the research one has done. Definitely not lie, but make it sound fancier than it may actually be. LORs: 1 undergrad professor (also observed my teaching abilities while I was obtaining my child development teacher permit), 1 graduate student instructor from undergrad who taught one of my classes, 1 professional reference from the director of student service at the community college I went to and worked for Other info: I graduated with my BA at 30 (I went back to school at 26) So while I have a good amount of work experience, it is a bit scattered and I am now fresh out of school with having not worked the last two years years during school. I am hoping to beautifully explain my unique path in my SOP 😆
