Hi all. I need some help from you Philly folk. I am planning to attend Penn in the fall as a graduate student. My husband will be working in central NJ (around Skillman/Bridgewater, which is about 25 miles from Trenton). I had a breakdown today in terms of where we will live. I would love to live, if not in Philadelphia, then right outside of it, but in a place that doesn't have him commuting 1.5 hours each morning. We are in our late 20s and I would like to be in an area that is not boring. Can you offer any advice? I really don't want to live around Trenton and commute each day from there. I fear for my mental state if I don't figure this out soon. Thank you!

edgrad, you should have gotten the email last night. Did you? Just want to make sure you don't miss it.

Thanks for the heads up, yareniyaren! Have any Zankel Fellowship applicants heard back yet with a decision?

amazingrace, I was admitted to the IED MA program but haven't yet heard about financial aid.

Yeah, edgrad, it does seem like this was mostly about the scholarship. I'm looking forward to getting the other stuff hopefully in a few days.

I received my official acceptance letter today, and with it came notification of a scholarship award, for those who are wondering how that will arrive. I'm not sure if I will receive additional materials on loans, etc., but I was very pleased!

I considered doing that tomorrow, so I'm glad to know it somewhat works! I am still waiting on a decision from Steinhardt for the M.A. program in International Education. I called Admissions on Friday asking when decisions would be sent, since my application was complete in early January, and the (quite rude) woman said "I've worked here for 13 years, so you better believe it's going to be 8 to 12 weeks at the minimum." Sigh.

M.A. in International Educational Development. Have any MA students received anything via mail from Admissions?

I am also interested to see if anyone admitted to the Higher Ed. program has received anything from Penn other than the one email inviting us to the Admitted Students event. I haven't yet either, edgrad. I want something official!
