gradhope Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I got an email at 2:59 EST this morning that they had reached a decision and it was a rejection letter for the M.Ed Student Affairs program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveotron Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 If people don't mind answering, I'm wondering what your GRE scores were if you applied to the PSE program. USNEWS reports that the average GRE scores for UCLA's PhD programs are 551V/591Q, but I'm wondering if scores for the PSE department may be higher than that? I didn't apply to the PSE program this year (foolishly applied to UCLA's Psychology Department after they waived the Subject GRE), but I'm considering the possibility of applying next year because I like the research being done there although the thought of delaying graduate school for one more year when I have an offer somewhere else this year is not ideal.

I didn't apply to the PSE program but I worked on a research project and the PI serves as a faculty member on the PSE program. I also worked with a lot of graduate students who are part of the program. For the PSE program, admission is really more about fit and the kind of research you are interested in. I was told that as long as your GRE scores are above 500 in Verbal AND Quantitative you will be okay. I'm not sure about AW though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveotron Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Thanks for the reply. That's good to hear about the GREs. I have a score in the 1200s, so I was just worrying that the GREs for the PSE program were in the 1300s+. I'll be at UCLA during the summer doing a research internship (in the Psych dept.), but I'll probably try to contact some of the professors in the Education department (Drs. Graham and Mistry). Unfortunately, I'll have to make a decision on my current acceptances before I get down there. I think my research matches are good and I've always liked UCLA, but I just didn't apply to the program this year. Do you happen to know how many students they accept (even better, how many out of how many applicants) and how well they're funded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wahoofish Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 anyone else receive letters in the mail this past weekend? any of them acceptances? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wahoofish Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 and what's up with the website saying that online application status will change end of Feb. it's already March 1, and nothing has changed.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polkadot Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 No reply from UCLA Ed.D. people... however, the letter they sent said that they'd let us know "by mid to late March," so I guess that's when I'll find out.. :T Any news, to anyone out there who may have applied to this program?

Inspekt Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I have recieved my admit letter by mail and the website still posts "No decision has been made yet." Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polkadot Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Thanks for the input, Inspekt. For clarification - you applied to a Ph.D. program, right? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no surprises please Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Has anyone heard anything from TEP? The waiting is absolutely killing me right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polkadot Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I'm in the same boat as you, No Surprises, except for the Ed.D. program. Good luck to you! When I applied to the TEP three years ago, I didn't get anything until late March.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no surprises please Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Thanks for the info, if you don't mind me asking, did you enroll in the TEP and if you did how did you like it? Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polkadot Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 No, I didn't end up enrolling.. and I regret it to this day. I ended up going another school because it was a year long program (vs. two years to credential/masters offered at UCLA.) I'm happy where I am now (in education,) so it wasn't a bad decision.. but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wahoofish Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 anyone have any news to report about ucla? good or bad? does it really take this long? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polkadot Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 wahoofish- which program did you apply to again? Still no word yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wahoofish Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 phd in psych ed you guys think it's taking longer because of the budget crisis in california? maybe they're waiting to see if funds free up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polkadot Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Have you tried calling your department to get a status? I'm going to hold off doing so until the end of March, since they told us edd candidates that admittances/rejections would go out between mid and end of March..

Phoenix Rising Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I love the way I got my rejection letter in the mail last week...and they felt like ruining another week so they sent an automated e-mail to check my online status as well at 11:19 last night. If I hadn't been admitted to a couple other schools...this could have seriously damaged my self-esteem. Ah well...Go Bruins! lol. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magiclogic Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Phoenix Rising, same story but UCLA was my 7th choice in the list and I am in at 4 other which are upper on the list , so who cares , but it is a good school with one of the best urban campuses I have ever seen.

no surprises please Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Great news everybody, just received my acceptance letter for the Teacher Education Program. It was dated March 5th and I received it on the 10th via regular mail. I'm so excited about this, can't wait to start the program in September.

polkadot Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Congrats NSP! This is great news, and I'm happy for you. No news on my end yet... still waiting (trying to be patient...) A few OCD questions though... 1) small or big envelope? 2) are you on the east/west coast? (trying to determine mail time) 3) has your status changed on the website? Thanks!
