TeeDub, thanks for all of the helpful info you have posted about hgse and other programs - I hope everything goes well in the admission process for you and that you have lots of choices. I don't mean to doubt your friend's word (the one who said HGSE called him/her last Thursday with an acceptance to the Ed.D. program), I am just wondering if there is anyone else out there on this board who directly heard from HGSE about Ed.D. decisions? I ask because it looks like this is only word we have so far on this, and a bunch of us (myself included) are then hanging our hats on one bit of information, and I'd like to corroborate things before I feel one way or another. Also, I spoke tonight with a few people who are currently at HGSE, and there's nothing going around yet (at least among these people, some of whom are applying to the Ed.D. program this year and have an interest in this sort of thing) that admissions decisions for the Ed.D. program are out yet. In fact, the people I spoke with said the admissions committee just began looking at everything 2-3 weeks ago, and that now is awfully quick for people to start hearing. I'm not saying that means that TeeDub's friend isn't telling the truth, I'm just saying I don't think I'm ready yet to throw in the towel until I hear from others as well. Thanks, guys!
