I'm happy to report that I am in! I will be attending BC this fall.

I am writing in hopes that others are in my boat or have more information. The folks at BC at disarmingly quiet. I applied to BC's Lynch GSE for the Curriculum & Instruction PhD. I had a phone interview with the director of the department about a month ago and was told I was in the last twenty candidates. The conversation went well (or so I thought) and I was told I would hear back around February 22nd. Unfortunately I haven't heard anything back from them yet, despite my email and phone message. The student workers in the graduate school admissions office seemed to think I would hear back mid-March, but weren't sure. I haven't gotten any emails, postal letters, or any communication from them, which could be a good sign, I hope. Is anyone else in this situation? Any suggestions, besides wait it out?

Hello~ I am in the process of applying to Brown for a PhD, to start in 2012. We are going to relocate our family (me, husband, two small kids) to New England this fall. It looks like my husband is going to find work north of Boston, along Rt. 128. Since the schools are good there as well, we'll probably end up living in the Burlington/Bedford/Winchester area. How much of a hassle is it to commute from Boston to Providence/Brown? If that's what I have to do, then I will, but we can always look for housing closer to RI. Interested in your thoughts! Thanks~
