kid grape - was this for school of education at harvard? its weird because for so long all i wanted is to hear from schools but now that is getting closer i am not sure if I want to hear, especially since all i have heard so far is a reject. aside from harvard also applied to penn gse. anyone else looking at these schools for masters? i prefer penn but i was able to visit which makes a big difference. if i get into harvard i will visit. both for m.ed higher ed.

hi Inspekt. i think my post was more venting than any legitimate request for a reason why. i have not heard from any other schools but i feel like some schools might tell you why if you asked. this is not based on any experience though.

do you really think its bad to check on when decision date will be? I have emailed several of the schools I applied to today.

I agree with you very much. And agree the big picture gets quite lost in application process. To me I consider all equal caliber but it is quite offputting to see a rejection with no real reason why. To know why would make me feel better about my chances at other schools. That is very interesting you work in admissions, very good experience. Do you also apply for higher ed programs?

i apply to higher ed at harvard and upenn and student service at ucla. all masters. anyone hear about higher ed masters at harvard or upenn? i am thinking i need to apply to more schools because when i read us news and world it ranks upenn and harvard--ucla noteven ranked and i got rejected

did not apply to nyu. just found email in spam folder that i got rejected from ucla. not sure how ucla ranks against penn and harvard for masters in higher ed but not feeling confident about those two with this reject under my belt. maybe i should have applied to move schools

I am applying to Higher Ed programs but have not heard back from any schools...UCLA, Penn, Harvard. Does this sound like bad news. Anyone hear from these schools. Looks like UCLA has contacted from other chain but not much from Penn or Harvard for higher ed?
