Good luck and happy birthday, waitlister! Hopefully you get some good news soon.

Upon forgetting to bring my book, my chalk (yes, we still have chalk here), and my brain to class yesterday, I finally spilled the beans to my students that I'm waiting on admissions results and am struggling to focus on anything else. I think they all crossed their fingers for me because I finally got my final acceptance this morning. Woo hoo!!!

Berkeley GSE, MA Social & Cultural Studies. Boo hoo hoo....I'm curious, who did get accepted to that program? I was sort of over the rejection (I've been accepted elsewhere) until I read a really interesting article this morning with a quote from one of the professors I had hoped to work with. Nothing like a little salt rubbed into the wound, eh?

Thanks so much! I'm American but have lived abroad on and off since my junior year of undergrad. Right now I'm teaching in Mexico.

After getting my rejection letter from UC Berkeley's GSE (umm, I'm just telling myself it just wasn't the right program fit...) I received my TC acceptance to the IED program a few hours later. I'm still weighing my options and would love to hear people's opinions about the TC int'l ed program. Best of luck to all the applicants out there! Wouldn't it be nice if we could just all get in, or at least get decisions, RIGHT NOW?!!!

From the TC admissions office website: "The Office of Admission will notify the applicant once the application is complete. The length of the application review process varies from program to program. The official notification of the decision is the letter bearing the signature of the Director of Admission. Applicants will be notified of the admission decision by mail. Decisions will not be given over the telephone..." http://www.tc.edu/admissions/admissions ... f+Decision Of course, they may have updated this procedure now that they use the apply yourself website. I think other posters mentioned getting email notification.

Ahhh, these posts brought a tiny little spark of relief! I also applied to the IED program at TC and haven't heard yet. And I'm also waiting it out in Latin America and very anxious to make decisions about next steps... guess we'll see. For now I'm just crossing my fingers that the postal service in this country doesn't fail me. Best wishes to other applicants!
