DogeCoin Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 It has been such a high since getting the good news! I also wanted to try and help pay it forward to future folks that apply and post my information here. I saw the post from @TabTurbo that had a page with a lot of information from accepted applicants that @graciasadios and @mjsmith put together. Maybe they can add all of our information there if other people feel ok posting their information here: Concentration/Program: LDITGRE: 158 Verbal, 156 Quant, 4.0 AWWork experience: 3 years full-time work while doing my BS degree (teller at a bank)Undergrad: BS in PsychologyUndergrad GPA: 3.5Research: One small project in undergrad.

I'd love to hop in that, if possible. Also: Concentration/Program: EPA GRE: Did not submit Work experience: 6 years at nonprofits, in state government, advocacy, and at a university research institute Undergrad: BA in HistoryUndergrad GPA: 3.49Research: Personal projects published via nonprofits + some journalism work. LORs: 1 from nonprofit where I volunteer, 1 from boss at a research institute, one from a higher ed advocacy org (no professors)Other info: I pushed hard on the work I did for others and had a common theme (service and higher ed access) in all of my essays. It's also true to my work, but I kept my message direct and circled every idea back to those concepts. PhD2Be2020 and mjsmith 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MsKTeachesEnglish Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Hi folks!!! Still so pumped. I celebrated hard this weekend ? Anyone know when we can expect financial aid decisions? This is truly a dream come true, but unfortunately, teachers are not paid very well, especially working in developing nations, and I am a bit nervous about financing HGSE. mjsmith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went and checked when I got the email last year. The financial packages were sent out on March 20th. I don't know if it will be the same day this year.
