Oops Up town

Down low

Man purse

mammoth cave

Still waiting...definately not confident...

Just got my rejection...via email. Can't say I'm surprised. I am not disappointed either. Congrats to those that made/make it!

Just wondering if anyone was still waiting to hear from UT??? Talked with Someone from the department via email, they said the committee was meringue again today and hopefully there will be news by weeks end... The waiting is so difficult...

My undergrad gps was in the low 3's, though it wasn't in education my MAT was a 4.0 and my MEd was a 3.96. I haven't seen a cut off for undergrad gap's, I've run into cut offs for GRE's at other schools. Harvard does publish average gpa's and gre score by program, somewhere. I hope this helps

I had a phone interview for an Ed program and the director said that whilefunding was only guaranteed in writing for the first 2 years, students who needed it thereafter always received it... Not sure it it varies by program/department. Hope it helps

She did ask where else I applied, and I told her. She made a statement and framed it as a question, "So it sounds like you are pretty mobile then?". I answered her honestly. Them she asked what the likelyhood would be of me accepting an offer of admission. I can't wait to find out, we have a great shot. They are accepting more than half of the candidates they spoke with. It was great to even make it that far. The interview itself was worth the experience.

Thanks for the encouragement. It's just so stressful...and to try and carry on with life as usual I'll keep my fingers crossed for a few more weeks.

I haven't spoken with anyone, I also didn't speak with anyone at U Wisc. Dr. Cochran-Smith did liken final decisions to dominos or cards...in that it was tricky pairing up students to faculty, in in the even that someone declines an offer. Did she mention funding after the first two years with you? She mentioned that while it wasn't guranteed on paper that students get it if they need it. She did ask what the likelyhood was of me accepting an offer, since I had applied to other schools in different geographic locations. I know that you have applied to some of the same schools...did she ask you, too?

Where else did you apply/get in? Which program(s)? My husband just called and said the letter just came in from U Wisc

I'm pretty sure it's still early. I thought I read somewhere that schools make decisions through mid-March. I'm trying to stay positive since I'm waiting on a couple more : ) it's tough though

From the looks of it, I've done some surfing, it sounds as though 2 have already posted acceptances from UT last week-special ed

I applied to the Special Ed. PhD program...I guess the outlook isn't so good

So you heard back from UT already...was it posted on your status check? I'm getting a bit nervous. Did you apply early? I had everything submitted in late November/early December. Any info would be hugely appreciated!

Checked my app status and it said Congratulations you've been admitted into the Graduate School...still haven't been contacted by anyone, though. Special Ed program

Waiting on a decision PhD Special Ed. Has anyone heard yet? Already heard from U Wisc (accepted) and waiting on BC--phone interview went great!

So, I applied to HGSE: Culture Communities.... I received an info packet from Admissions and completed all financial aid paper work that was sent to me. I applied "just to see," but waiting is still rediculously difficult. I had a phone interview with BC (one of 20-ish interviewed for 12 spots). They said I should hear back in a couple of weeks (Critical Pedagogy, Diversity, and SJ program). Got an acceptance from U Wisc-Madison-Special Ed PhD program. And waiting on UT Austin-Special Ed. Missed Vanderbilts cut off GRE by 80 points--so that will be a rejection. I'm surprisingly OK with it. I've taught elementatry and special ed for 5 years: MAT in ELED and M.Ed Secial Ed The waiting is the worst...and yes I do check my email, status check sites, etc every few hours. It's aweful!
