Oh dear! I have not received any information in the mail yet. I just e-mailed Rosie to see if she had any information on financial aid or scholarships. I'm wondering if I just might not be up to snuff for a scholarship? I don't know what kind of academic credentials they require--I have a 3.76 undergrad GPA and I've been working in admissions for two years. And still no word on the assistantship front, though I applied to about ten. I find it hard to believe that they can expect people to pay full price, without any assistance from a GA or financial aid/scholarships, but maybe they do! I'm crossing my fingers.

I was unexpectedly admitted into HGSE last night and now I'm facing a crisis! Vandy was always my top choice and I know I want to be there, but I hate myself for getting caught up in the name behind Harvard. Does anyone have any advice for choosing one over the other? (or, really, in helping me confirm that I want to choose Vandy over Harvard and that I'm not shooting myself in the foot?) Feel free to PM me too! Thank you!
-
Accepted!! I can't believe it. I'm definitely choosing Vanderbilt over Harvard, though I have to admit it will be hard to say no to Harvard. This feeling isn't even real. Congratulations to everyone else!
-
congrats on getting an assistantship!! Which one is it? That's so exciting, and a huge weight off your shoulders I bet!
-
oh wow! Ok so am I, which makes me a little nervous now. But congratuilations, that's really great news and probably a huge burden lifted! I'll still cross my fingers.

Totally. It just seems a little silly since most (not all, but most) other schools have already notified candidates.
-
I want to say that I would expect better from Harvard...ugh come on. This is ridiculous!
-
Vegamble, what program are you in? I'm wondering (and hoping!) that specific programs get that information at different times. I still have yet to hear anything on the aid front...(I'm higher ed)
-
Ok, how about the second any of us masters students hears something about financial aid, we notify the group here? If for no reason other than to calm my anxieties that the info did go out.

I double majored in English and French in undergrad and will be starting at Vandy this fall for Higher Ed. I think that since there is no real UG degree specifically in higher ed, you can really come at it from any variety of education background. You defintiely do not need an UG degree in education to pursue higher ed--I think they really like the diverse range of prior educational and professional experiences.

congrats trvlg4 on your acceptance into Vandy!

It does sound like the PhD candidates have received their aid information before the Masters students...that's a good point about the sequester factor, though. I think they said "early March," so I'm hoping any day now we'll get some news. Am I the only person who checks their e-mail and mailbox frantically around this time for any information at all? Also, the wait from my other two schools is slowly getting to me. Even if I don't go elsewhere, I just want to KNOW if I got in!

ASzofer, the assistantship part is the one part of this whole thing that is giving me the most stress! I had one interview during Visit Day and have heard nothing since, so I don't think that's a good sign..it's killing me though!

haha seriously! I think I'm going to gain 500 pounds over the next two years. I hope the gym facilities are nice because I'll probably have to spend a lot of time there to counteract all the fried chicken and biscuits I'll be eating. I haven't heard any financial aid news for the Higher Ed program yet, either. Hpefully it'll come sooner, rather than later. Congratulations to everyone else who has already received that information! I'm crossing my fingers for all of us (myself included!)
