Here2Teach Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Hello everyone! I applied last year and was sadly waitlisted. But planning to apply again this upcoming year, and I would love to connect with others applying to HGSE for Fall 2024! 🙂 I copied what I used last year to start the thread (thank you SO MUCH to @TabTurbo for doing this originally!), and have tried to update it: HGSE Basic Info School Website | Degree Programs | Admission Info | Financial Aid | Cross Registration Introduce Yourself | Upcoming Events | Virtual Campus Tour | Connect Recorded Webinars (lots of great info on admission tips, international students, student life, career & alumni, Ed.M. vs. Doctorate program, student chats etc.) Faculty Directory by Area of Expertise Admission Stats Fall 2021 acceptance rate 36% (2723 Applied, 969 Accepted, 717 Enrolled | source: Peterson's - assume this is F21 given the record number of apps but could be wrong) (NOTE: The haven't added the Fall 2023 data when I posted this) GC applicant admission data from 2013-2023 (huge thanks to @graciasadios and @mjsmith for compiling) Student body breakdown (2022-2023 entering class data) HGSE Publications Ed. Magazine | EdCast (Weekly Podcast) | EducationNow (Webinar Series) | Usable Knowledge (Relevant Research) Jo-E, sunshine_and_rainbows, mjsmith and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo-E Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Hi! I will be starting at HGSE in the fall...I still pinch myself to make sure it is real. I will try and share things from my year at HGSE here in the chat, to hopefully help everyone applying this year. Good luck!

sunshine_and_rainbows Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Hi everyone! I'm a recent grad of the ELOE program (just graduated last month). This group was so helpful to me when I was applying, even if I was mostly a lurker. Please feel free to message me if anyone has any questions about HGSE in general or the ELOE program in particular. Wishing you all good luck as you apply! Here2Teach, mjsmith and Jo-E 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here2Teach Posted August 27 Author Share Posted August 27 (edited) I feel weird bumping my own post, but I am eager to connect with any others applicants to HGSE that are out there! 🙂 Previous years people have posted their stats (huge thanks to @graciasadios and @mjsmith for taking all of the previous years data from folks and compiling it). Wanted to share a bit about me again using the template I got from @DogeCoin the last go around. Program/Concentration: ELOE/No concertation......though I am toying with adding the Early Childhood Education concentration. GRE: Have not taken, but might if it would boost my chances. I have been out of school a while, and I'm intimidated by this to be honest. Would love feedback here if any current students/alumni have any thoughts or suggestions. Work experience: 10 years as an elementary school teacher in the U.S. I've mostly been a 2nd grade teacher, but have taught everything K-3rd grade Undergrad: BA in Elementary Education Undergrad GPA: 3.3 Research: None for me. I do wonder if this hurt my chances last year. LORs: 1 from a professor from my undergrad that I have kept in touch with, 1 from my principal, 1 from the assistant superintendent. The last one is a different recommender than my previous application last cycle. Other info: If I get in, I would be long distance from my husband for the year. If anyone else has done this, or would be in a similar boat I would love to connect! 🙂 Edited August 27 by Here2Teach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! I want to apply to the online program. I also contacted them, and based on what they said, I think I will wait until next year before applying so that I can accumulate one more year of full-time experience. Any thoughts on what I can do to improve my profile? https://forum.thegradcafe.com/topic/166424-do-i-have-a-chancehow-can-i-prepare/ Here2Teach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think HGSE would be quite interested in you. I think just being your authentic self and explaining "Why HGSE?" "Why this program?" and "Why now?" would be what HGSE would want to hear from you. Hoping that an alum or current student can confirm this. Happy to be on this journey with you!

Thank you so much for the positivity and the encouragement! I think that I can provide some pretty convincing reasons for the three Why's. Good luck to you! Let's stay in touch - even though I'm applying next cycle! Here2Teach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hgse_4mepls Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 By the way, do you think attending webinars and registering in advance will help your case? Here2Teach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ENHGSE24 Posted yesterday at 08:45 AM Share Posted yesterday at 08:45 AM Hi everyone! Nice to meet you all. I would love to learn more about the ELOE program. Career opportunities for graduates of this program, the coursework itself, faculty. If there are any current students or alums that can share insight that would be amazing!
