GradInEducation: I went through the process last year and have been in contact with current students at GSE. I'm a current Masters student at Stanford.
FutureEdStudent12: I'm interested in literacy and language acquisition in outside-of-school contexts and casual learning.
Apparently, the professors in LLC will traditionally call accepted candidates before official notifications are sent out by admissions. Admissions is not required to send out such notifications (via snail mail) until the end of February :-/
Just spoke to someone in the LLC Dept. Apparently the process is a little slower this year than last, so notifications might be a little delayed for accepted candidates.
