zazz Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Something worth noting -- often unsuccessful applications to Ph.D. programs in ESD are forwarded to ESD Masters programs for consideration, including TPP. This would suggest that ESD Ph.D. admission committees need to go through their applications a bit before TPP can finalize their decisions. So the admissions timeline is not "contained" within TPP so to speak; they might be waiting on other parts of ESD to review their own applications first.

thefugu Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 hi all, been reading this thread as well! just curious, how many of us here are going for the Masters vs PhD program? i'm going for the MS.
zazz Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Masters. Though if somehow I got accepted into TPP, I would consider scoping out the Ph.D. program (TMP) and maybe try to transfer in after a year. I think their website says a handful of people do that every year. But of course thats all thinking way too far ahead at this point !
applicant Posted February 22, 2011 Author Posted February 22, 2011 same with me, I applied for Masters and I would be happiest if I got in. I'll think about the next step if I get in but TMP does seem like a very good option as well Masters.

thefugu Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) nope, haven't called them. btw what're your other options besides TPP? ( Or how many schools have you tried ) I'm trying for around 12, got 3 positive (without funding), one negative so far. Really hope TPP can help with the funding. Edited February 24, 2011 by thefugu
zazz Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) If you get into TPP, you will find full funding through an RA position. At the Open House in October I think they said 99% of students are fully funded (tuition + ~$2200 per month for living) nope, haven't called them. btw what're your other options besides TPP?

me0501 Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 One acceptance in the "Results" page...I guess it's coming now !
MS_Applicant Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 One acceptance in the "Results" page...I guess it's coming now ! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
MS_Applicant Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Wow, I'm accepted. Just received an email. Dude. Congratulations! Any information regarding how many people they accepted?
bong2 Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Dude. Congratulations! Any information regarding how many people they accepted? Thanks. I read the email again, and it does not say about the number of people accepted.
applicant Posted February 24, 2011 Author Posted February 24, 2011 Congratulations to everyone who got accepted! Still no email for me.
applicant Posted February 24, 2011 Author Posted February 24, 2011 Do you think they're still sending out acceptances? How does it go anway, one by one or a group email?
MS_Applicant Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Do you think they're still sending out acceptances? How does it go anway, one by one or a group email? Hopefully? One by one! Cuz I haven't received mine yet!
applicant Posted February 24, 2011 Author Posted February 24, 2011 I'm afraid it even might go in several patches coz I think different people found out at different times previous years, at least according to the results page. Then again, people might just have posted the results at different times.
Vivdadude Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Which 'Results' page are you referring to?? One acceptance in the "Results" page...I guess it's coming now !
adidwani Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Congratulations to the admits! If the admitted candidates could possibly post their profiles, it'd be great for future applicants.
thefugu Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 congrats to those who got accepted! sounds like the admissions committee is starting to give final decisions, and hopefully in batches!
thefugu Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 any new updates so far? up to now only 2 results were submitted in the gradcafe system
thefugu Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 Nope didn't call Ed will try during one of the weekdays.
thefugu Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 my theory is, the committee approved the early batch based on their initial review (because the applicants were pretty top). Then they'll move on to the next batch, hopefully we're in it.
