[Applying Fall 2013? Where?]

Has anyone around been accepted to UCLA's Master's HEOC program? I'd love to talk to you about what you're thinking about it!... 

[Applying Fall 2013? Where?]

I attended the Diversity Recruitment weekend at Harvard last year. I think it was a good way to get a feel for the school, program, and administration. They provided some very helpful and informative sessions on financial aid and writing your SOP. But I'm not sure "how" much it helps to get into the program you desire. You do get to meet the program director, so that gives you an opportunity to network. 

 

Also- I applied to 15 schools (which was crazy and I don't advice lol) Half are focused around Student Affairs and the other half are more policy, research oriented Higher Ed Master's programs. Best of luck everyone!!

 

Please let me know if anyone's heard from UMichigan or Harvard GSE. They are definitely part of my top 5 picks. 

 

 

 emg28 -- we've applied to lots of the same places and for similar reasons, I see. I also applied to UMich and HGSE. HGSE definitely won't get back to us until March, I think. As for the former, I'm hoping we'll have news in 2 or 3 weeks since the campus visit is in mid-March.

A bit late to the game! I've applied to Master's programs in higher ed administration, ed policy, or a mixture of both... the programs at these schools vary quite a bit!:

 

Vanderbilt

SUSE

HGSE

UMich

USC Rossier

UCLA GSEIS

I'm currently an undergrad at Vanderbilt and I've heard down the grapevine that the MEd/MPP applicants are supposed to hear back really, REALLY soon.   keep your hopes up everyone.

[HGSE Fall 2013]

Hey! I'm currently in the EPM program. Gosh I remember when I was on here last year like it was yesterday. I too heard the acceptance rate was 50/50 so you have good odds! 

 

That acceptance rate definitely relieves me a bit... thank you!!! Hope you're enjoying the EPM program! Any pros&cons/advice to offer us?

 

Has anyone who has applied to Masters programs heard back yet? I feel like it's about time, but I suppose PhDs are still hearing back...

I don't have much of an expectation w/getting into HGSE; I pretty much applied because my mother kept hinting that me attending Harvard was her dying wish. Even though she isn't dying.
