Teaching of English - Ed.M.

As I mentioned before, I was admitted to the Higher Ed EdM program, but turned them down in favor of trying for another program. However, I did get my award letter yesterday (presumably for the Higher Ed program, which isn't off the books for me yet). So the awards letters are on their way. I got mine via email.

I got an email today asking me if I was interested in the Summer or Fall... I don't know if that means they haven't evaluated me yet OR they did and want to know which semester I want to start. AUGH the waiting.

Yes, award letter = financial aid info.

I agree - I think it has to do with the around 50% acceptance rate for MA/EdM programs. However, everything I know about the programs themselves (based on research as well as friends who attend) point to a great education. In addition, the name Columbia carries a lot of weight and prestige with it. Mainly, though, I believe you can get a great education there and that's what's important.

Congrats amazinggrace I'm still waiting to hear from Teaching of English. I haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate waiting. :?:

I found out on Wednesday, 3/4. I was also told today, incidentally, that the Higher Ed admissions committee is "closed" for application review until March 19! So I'm sure there's still plenty of chances.

In for EdM in Higher and Postsecondary Ed but said no... I was torn between that and Teaching of English when I applied and have now decided that the Teaching of English program is really what I want. They let me shift my application from High Ed to Teaching of Eng, but of course there's no guarantee I'll get in again. I hope I didn't make a mistake.
