  1. Wannabeaphd, I think TexanLex was referring to the rankings for the Higher Education specialization. Vandy is #1 overall for Education and #5 for Higher Education.
  2. Congratulations litjust! This is great news. Hope you land at your #1.
  3. Does anyone have any experience with or thoughts on 755 Broad or 909 Broad?
  4. Congratulations on Arizona abr2116. I applied to the Vanderbilt HELP Ed.D. program. From last year's results, decisions come out in late March. I also have a colleague who is currently in his second year in the program. When he applied, he didn't receive a decision until late March. That said, when I submitted my application last fall and inquired about when decisions would be made, I was told that faculty begin reading applications in December and have a preliminary set of decisions regarding first round admits by mid-February. Information about financial aid awards is provided to this group in mid-March. However, faculty do hold off on decisions for some applicants until they have received a response from the first round admits, and it is not uncommon for subsequent (favorable) admission decisions to be rendered in the March/April timeframe. Good luck!!!
  5. Awesome wannabeaphd! Congratulations on gaining closure. I'm dating myself but there's something to be said for the Crosby, Stills & Nash song that goes "if you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with". My decisions aren't all in, but I'm embracing and giving thanks for what I have.
  6. wheatGrass, the AERA GSC has specific content planned for graduate students attending the conference. Check out the Fall 2011 newsletter. http://www.aera.net/uploadedFiles/Graduate_Students/Newsletters/Connections_v2.pdf. I'm not attending the AERA conference this year, but am definitely making plans to be there next year.
  7. Congratulations wayoutwest128 and wannabeaphd! Just loving what seems like trending toward positive news for everyone!
  8. Many thanks abr2116 and litjust. Congratulations to both on your interviews at USC/Michigan/Wisconsin and Emory. Good luck all around and keep us posted. Hoping for great news for everyone in the coming weeks.
  9. Finally, some good news to share! I've been accepted to the Institute of Higher Education at Georgia! Can hardly believe it!
  10. Congratulations lilgreycells! Truly awesome! I applied to Penn GSE for Higher Education as well. Gotta move on now, and am hopeful for better news from other schools. Good luck during the PhD weekend!
  11. In the last couple of years, Penn GSE has sent the PhD weekend invitations out around now...January 19 or 20. I think EdD weekend invitations will go out next week. They'll probably post on the blog tomorrow that all PhD invites were extended. I didn't receive anything, so I'm guessing it's a "no".
  12. Congratulations Litjust! Awesome news! Good luck hitomimay. You can do it!
  13. Very similar to yours. I'd like to explore higher ed access and attainment among first generation, low-income and underrepresented populations as an outcome of K-12/16 reform and the use of such information and academic research in ongoing ed policymaking. Your current work sounds very interesting. I'm currently working in higher ed administration.
  14. abr2116 and hitomimay, what are your research interests in higher education? Here's to good news in 2012 for us all!
  15. Last year's acceptance rate was 6% for the PhD program. I'm not sure about the EdD. Good luck to you, litjust. I hope you make it as well!
  16. Just saw that Penn GSE received 700 applications for its doctoral programs this cycle! http://penngseadmissions.blogspot.com/
  17. I'm applying to a combination of EdD and PhD programs: Columbia (Higher & Postsecondary Education) Georgia (Higher Education) WashU (Educational Policy) Penn (Higher Education) Vanderbilt (Higher Education Leadership and Policy)
