PhDreams

Eek! I know... It's kind of sad that when I got the email I was like, "don't be a good offer! Don't be a good offer.. Dang!" Seriously, last month I would have killed for this news. This month I'm just more stressed out... lol

Oops, I meant TexanLex. Although it seems like you're torn too, wildviolet. Lol!

I feel the same way, wildviolet! I was dead set on HGSE, but now Michigan made me a very attractive financial offer. I absolutely love Michigan and now I feel like I'm not as sure about HGSE. I guess I'll see how I feel after the visit to Michigan and after I receive hGSE's fin aid package. I'm always here to chat if you need someone to talk to... Especially since now I'm in a similar situation with michigan.

I knew this was coming...

Dear FutureEdStudent, We still don't want you. Sincerely, UCLA ---- Got an actual letter today. Just in case I didnt understand the email .

Still nothin...

^^ Exactly

Who else is refreshing that page over and over and over???

If its the only degree you get and you will be doing something other than teaching IN school k-12, I would go big name. At least that's one of the reasons I chose a big name. The job market the way it is you are sort of buying a brand (for people who have no clue about rankings or quality or education,etc). Since I plan to work mostly in out of school contexts, not only is the program itself fantastic but also the name brand degree will open many doors.

FYI - you are awesome!!!!!!!

You are awesome!!!!

Anyone going to the Chicago event tonight? I can't make it. Anyone willing to PM me and let me know how it went?

Uuuuuu... Nice work, FreedominEducation!! Thanks!!

Please share as soon as you hear from them!

Oh wow!!! Thanks for making the call. Can't believe it really took them that long!!!!

Sorry to hear that. what is your area of interest? Have you thought about scholarships or fellowships?

Congrats!

Also, congrats to all the UW admits too!!! So happy the good news continues!!!!!

I was going to reply with Special Studies. Hmmm... Is there a reason you don't like the program? I am really not familiar with any others. Maybe you can find a really flexible program that lies within your content area of interest.

@hitomimay Do you miss a lot of info not having a subscription? Also, anyone interested in creating a GC Education 2011-2012 App cycle? Just love all of ya and think it would be great to stay in touch. Just a thought.....

This link goes to the sign in page. Do you have a subscription? What extra info do you get? Vandy is still #1, huh?

My status still has not changed. Very strange...

Not to beat a dead horse, but Penn is an outstanding institution. We're not talking about some small local uni with no name recognition... It's Penn!!! I think that you have to want to go to Harvard because the program is a better "fit" and not because it's "Harvard." I chose Harvard because their AIE program can uniquely help me achieve my goals. Although TC is equally prestigious, their program was more language centered and would ultimately restrict my research focus. Harvard was the obvious choice based on those things. I think that you have a fabulous option in front of you (an option that some of us didn't have... Myself included!) so don't dwell on it. You know what is best for yourself and you know where your heart is. If you don't think Penn will help you reach your goals then don't go! But make sure that what you want is the best program and not the name (which btw Penn is a nice little name to have on your CV too!). Best of luck!

30, 31. I'm AIE.

Yes! Although, mine is this month.
