Then interned at an education policy nonprofit back home in LA after I graduated in June of 2018. Worked at the LA Superior Courts then at a personal injury law firm.Strength of SOP (be honest, describe the process, etc): Extremely strong.

Lawyers at my job and professors I had at undergrad read and made edits to my SOP.Strength of LOR's (be honest, describe the process, etc): I have one from my Chinese professor (took two years of Mandarin), one from my constitutional law professor, and one from my labor history professor.Other: My program as three deadlines: 12/1/2019 (priority scholarship), 2/1/2020 (interim), and 3/15/2020 (final). I applied before the priority scholarship deadline and now I'm just waiting to hear back. Emailed a woman in the department and she said that decisions will conclude in April, so between now and April I should hear something. 2020PhD and are-you-f'ing-serious 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexuwhit Posted February 9, 2020 Author Share Posted February 9, 2020 If anyone knows when Georgetown usually releases decisions for MA programs, please reply here? I applied before the priority scholarship deadline 12/15/19 to the MA in Educational Transformation and haven't heard anything back. When they first emailed me in December they said that they will conclude on decisions in April but i dont know still getting kind of worried since I applied so early and haven't heard anything back. are-you-f'ing-serious 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmkenobi Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I was told decisions for priority applicants would be made this week. I am guessing we'll hear back by next week. Best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thankyouforbreathing Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Missed a call earlier this afternoon from the MAET director by fifteen minutes; she left a voicemail saying that she had “good news.” Called and emailed back immediately; no answer yet. Too scared to let my phone out of my sight. I think I might pass out. Is this an interview request, or are they really sending out decisions this early? I wasn’t expecting to hear from any more schools until March, but then just saw @jmkenobi’s post and realized that I had sent in my application on the priority deadline as well.

Doesn't it feel like you're just talking to yourself? Stop already, as you can see, no one CARES about Georgetown - MA in Educational Transformation. Okay!
