withjoy Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Someone asked about the e-mail from Columbia Teachers College on the results board. They sent me an e-mail that said to check the application website. I logged on with the same PIN I used to apply. Underneath my recommendation providers was a place for "Decision Status." I clicked on the link and my acceptance letter popped up. I hope that helps the person who was asking! Applied: NYU, Columbia, Stanford Accepted: Columbia, NYU (unofficially through e-mail from professor) Rejected: none yet Waiting on: Stanford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mochalatte Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 withjoy, that's what happened for me as well! It's such a relief to be in. What program are you in again at TC? Congratulations!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
withjoy Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 I'm in the EdD program for Teaching of English. When I applied I kept going back and forth on applying for the EdD or the PhD in English Education. I ended up going for the PhD. When I received my letter yesterday, the admissions committee admitted me and switched me to the EdD program because they felt it was better suited to my interests. I'm sort of glad they did, since it certainly answers that question! I have you heard anything on TC's funding? Do they let us know? Should we be asking?

readyforachange Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I've seen some results for the Soc of Ed program posted on the board recently, and I was wondering if their results status came in the same way (e-mail followed by logging into apply yourself and results)? I applied to the PhD program, and I still haven't heard anything...and no link on the application page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konjurer Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Here is a wall posting from the "Teachers College, Columbia University Prospective Students" facebook group: "Thanks for applying to TC! We anticipate the majority of application decisions to be released by mid-March (the week of the 15th). However, there is a chance that some students may hear earlier or some may hear slightly later. With the large number of programs we have, each admission committee has a slightly different application review timeline. Please note that admission decisions are no longer mailed out via postal service. You will receive an email confirmation that a decision has been made on your application with instructions on how to receive your decision. Make sure that tcinfo@tc.columbia.edu doesn't go to your spam! Best of Luck!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readyforachange Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Thanks for the info konjurer! I should've guessed there was a fb group, lol. But seriously, the info helped calm the anxiety a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amazingrace Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Has anyone received a letter from TC about applying for The Arthur Zankel Urban Fellowship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mochalatte Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Has anyone received a letter from TC about applying for The Arthur Zankel Urban Fellowship? Hey amazingrace, I just got an email about it! Are you going to apply? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amazingrace Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Hey mochalatte, yeah, I am going to apply! May I know whether you are applying for Ph.D or Master? I am applying for the master of education program. I just wonder whether TC sent out the letter to every applicant, or just to those who might get the admission? how do you think, Mochalatte?

mochalatte Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Hi amazingrace, I'm not sure. I was actually already admitted to TC for an M.A. in Soc and Education for Fall '09, but I indicated in my personal statement that I had experience with and wanted to work with inner city youth. Did you indicate that as well? They might be targeting students based on their interests...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readyforachange Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I was wondering the same thing...I applied for soc of ed phd and I also got the e-mail today I sent in my application this afternoon after getting it! Funding is funding (and also happens to align with my research interests a bit!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amazingrace Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 To mochalatte: You have already been admitted to TC for 2009 Fall? May I know when you received their notification? I have not heard anything about whether I am admitted to TC or not. I thought they would release all admission results in the middle of March, won't they? Anyway, congrats to your admission! I am very happy for you! I just wish this fellowship application letter from TC is a good sign, maybe they have accepted me too but just have not updated the website? Who knows, I am always very positive! This letter brightens my day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungdaddy Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Amazingrace: I just wanted to let you know that I think the each program does their own thing- notifies in different ways, that is. . I received an acceptance email from the professor that interviewed me but my status on the application site still says "Submitted". Anyway, my program in Teaching of History/Social Studies PhD, if that helps. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amazingrace Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 hey mungdaddy, Thank you for the message. Congrats to your offer! Way to go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlefish Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Congratulations to everyone who has been admitted! Could you please tell me when you received your status change? I was wondering if it was more like a system update that occurs at night time or if it just changes during the day at different times? Thanks!

debinkenya Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I rec'd notification on 23 Feb. Not sure how they update the system, though. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungdaddy Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 To littlefish: I received an email from a professor in the department on Feb. 19. It's the Social Studies dept, by the way. To date, my app online status still reads "submitted". Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
learnforlife Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I received my notification of admission about a week ago, got into the Education and Communication M.A. program! No word on financial aid though.....does anyone know when Teachers College gets back to people on aid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungdaddy Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 My scholarship was included in the acceptance email. I'm Phd so I guess it could be different. I've also submitted an application on the application website for additional aid. I don't think anyone will be notified before April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konjurer Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I emailed the Teaching of English program on Monday and was told that it would release decisions "by this Friday if not by early next week." I'm so nervous...! Anyone else applying to become an English teacher? (edited to clarify original statement ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlefish Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Thank you for all your responses! I am too waiting to hear about the Teaching of English program at the Teachers College. Your post made my heart stop for a second Good luck to you! Are you by any chance a PC Fellows applicant also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konjurer Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I'm not affiliated with PC, but I'm sure that experience is a major plus for your application! I hope I hear something by Friday because I really, really don't want to plough through another giant box of Goldfish this weekend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magiclogic Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 just received an email from Columbia TC to check my status, I am admitted to the PhD program in Human Development, Measurement and Evaluation. No work on funding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missashley Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 i am waiting to hear from tc too -from arts admin. during my interview, i was told that decisions would be made within four to six weeks, and that, if I am admitted, I will hear from the program director via email first (before notification from the school or a status change, etc.). Unfortunately, this is only the 3rd week since then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
