Taro_Taro Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Hi all! Does anyone here know anything about this new EDS master program in Stanford GSE? I really love it and it's my top choice now, but I want to get a sense of how competitive it will be (based on past statistics from other programs, maybe) annie_568 and ILoveEdPolicy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveEdPolicy Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 @Taro_TaroYou might already know this but they are holding online webinar/open office hours to get more info! I attended one for the POLS program and it was very informative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stirfriedveggies Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I'm surprised there aren't more people posting about this program. are there so few applicants? probably not. anyway, two more weeks of waiting! did anyone get contacted for an interview? I did not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro_Taro Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 I got rejected from the phd program and was forwarded to the master's program application. I don't think master's applicants will get an interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M_Sun Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Hi all, I am applying for EDS master's. I haven't gotten contacted for an interview... Anyone received an interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zanzibar_gem Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Hi! I am also an EDS master's applicant. I have not been contacted for an interview either. The language on the website is the same as the language for PhD applicants ("The admissions committee might contact you for an interview in order to get additional information"), so I got the impression that an interview isn't required to be admitted.

I see. Thank you so much for the reassurance! Good luck to both of us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stirfriedveggies Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 i haven't gotten one either. Fingers crossed! Honestly, I am bracing myself for a rejection, I think I had a good GPA and pretty solid letters of rec but I wasn't the most quantitatively inclined person in college so im not sure if im qualified for the course. It'll be nice to go to Stanford but I'll be okay with a rejection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annie_568 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I don't have a strong quant background either, but lets see! Did you guys take the GRE? I did not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro_Taro Posted February 26, 2021 Author Share Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) I took and submitted my GRE, b/c I was pretty satisfied with my score and I think it could demonstrate my quant skills. Just out of curiosity, what other programs did y'all apply to? There are a lot of education+statistics programs out there, but I don't see many that have a good combination of education and data science.

etchfetch Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) hello, I'm new here . And this is literally my first post on the forum, so apologies if I'm doing something wrong... I've applied to learning analytics at Teachers College, Columbia University. The program is not identical to EDS but it is one that I'm interested in. I also couldn't find too many programs (just applied to the two) that had education in combination with data science. There were many that had education + quant methods but very few that had education + data science!

I almost applied to that program I really like its curriculum What else have you applied to Taro_Taro? Also, if you don't mind me asking, why didn't you apply to Learning Analytics? I was definitely surprised to find almost no one applying to the course on this forum. The masters program has been offered for more than 5 years if I'm not mistaken at TC. And EDS, a program that's being started only this year has many more applicants. I wonder what I'm missing ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know? Thank you I meant that relative to Learning Analytics. I don't see anyone else applying to/talking about LA on this forum or anywhere else (reddit). But for EDS there seem to be at least 5-6 people on gradcafe and another 5-6 on a couple of reddit posts (possible overlap of course). So it's 1 (LA) : 10 (EDS), which was kinda strange to me ? and I was wondering if there was something I was missing?
