  1. Awesome! Have fun hitomimay! And tell us all about it when you're back!
  2. I completely understand the agony. But really, it's only another month and a half, so it'll fly by quickly. I've been accepted to UNC Chapel Hill guys! It's a PhD in Education: Culture, Curriculum, and Change. No word on funding yet, so fingers crossed. Also, called Vanderbilt, and they said first round of offers for the Teaching and Learning PhD have gone out, so if anyone is waiting on that, we won't hear from them till April.
  3. FutureEdStudent12, I'm sure things will work out for you soon, and you'll be really happy wherever you end up going.
  4. Congrats, wildviolet! And I hope they welcome you nicely to the program soon!
  5. Hey everybody, my computer's been acting up so I've been missing for a bit. Congratulations to everyone who has got in, and good luck to everyone else! I was just wondering, has anyone here applied to Vanderbilt's Learning and Teaching PhD? Have you heard back from them?
  6. You guys don't know how much this means to me. It's been wonderful having you guys around all this while, and especially now. I'm really feeling much better already, and my plan B is looking pretty good actually. You guys are the best! Litjust, I spent the morning with my brother's kids. Nieces are the best stress-busters
  7. Rejected from HGSE Woke up when my phone received a new email notification at 3 AM my time (about 14 hours ago). So crept out of bed, go tot my computer, and checked my status. Not a great start to a weekend. Oh well. I didn't expect any different anyway. Also, thanfully, it wasn't my first choice Congratulations to everyone on their Stanford, Harvard, and UCLA admits! And good luck to everyone else. Everything that happens happens for a reason
  8. I'd go with USC all the way. My reasons are the same as what some others have mentioned here- especially this: Also, I agree with Wildviolet that for doctoral programs, it's the reputation of your faculty adviser that really counts. From what you've told us, USC really loved you. I've always felt that poorly funded master's programs are how universities cash in on their reputation- I wouldn't recommend those to anyone. So I'd stay away from Harvard and Stanford. (I'm also not sure how much you'll be able to accomplish in 9 months. I can't imagine it will be very much.)
  9. Thanks for the update, keepswimming I can't wait to hear from them. Maybe I should call and ask them about the Learning Sciences admissions. Is there anyone else who has applied to NU's LS program? Congratulations, Litjust! That sounds like a fantastic offer And, by the way, I really love that Arundhati Roy quote, too.
  10. I agree, just needed to hear it from someone else Thanks so much, wildviolet.
  11. Hey guys. I was away for the weekend- a friend got married on the beach! It was lovely, and I managed to forget about applications and grad school for a while. Congratulations to all who have had good news, and good luck to everyone else! I had a question- I'm getting a little nervous about one school I have applied to. I felt that my correspondence with a POI there had been very encouraging. Should I write to him now? And what do I say? I'm not even sure what the point of this email would be, but I feel like I need to know now what my chances at this school are. A little advice would help a lot!
