DanMcD Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) Congrats to everyone who got in! If you're in the higher ed program I am sure they will be reaching out soon. I'm bet there will be an excellent cohort replacing us! No matter whether you got in or not, I am sure you will all go on to do awesome things. Hope to see some of you in the field!

CQE Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 If anyone is worried about the tuition cost, take a look at these Loan Forgiveness Plans. Assuming you go into public service (which of course includes teaching and any non-profit work) then your debt is forgiven after 10 years. Couple that with Income Based Repayment (8% of income, i think) then a $100k loan turns into a $20-30k loan depending on your anual salary. Good luck to all!

CQE Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) Rejected Congrats to all that got in! I'm sorry, bro. You'll do great things, wherever you go. That goes for you, too, m26. Edited March 9, 2013 by CQE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhLaLaSam Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Accepted!! I can't believe it. I'm definitely choosing Vanderbilt over Harvard, though I have to admit it will be hard to say no to Harvard. This feeling isn't even real. Congratulations to everyone else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edugy Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I'm sorry, bro. You'll do great things, wherever you go. Thanks man, I appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m26 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Thanks. I'm actually taking it a lot harder than I thought, considering I was 50/50 between Penn and HGSE this morning anyway. I'm just frustrated with my timing. Oh well. Congrats to everyone who got in. Would have been shocked if you didn't! Have fun! Unlucky Edugy. That shock goes for you :/ Edugy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edugy Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I wish I had applied for MBE as Airwick had originally expressed to me, even though I had wanted to do TIE. Check out https://getmyo.com/ and http://www.emotiv.com/epoc/features.php for those who got in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobotinBlue Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Aw man, I was hoping to meet you Edugy. It seems like we had a lot of similar interests. I applied to MBE, did fMRI stuff in the past. Those links are really interesting. I am actually really interested in HCI stuff as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nm16 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Hey admitted folks -- what does it say in regards to when we find out about potential financial aid? The admit website is really difficult to navigate via phone, my only method currently available for browsing. thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merrysoprano Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I think just by the end of March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodges Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 It said financial aid would be available end of March or first week in April I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CQE Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) As if being accepted on my birthday wasn't serendipitous enough, the Philadelphia Flyers are playing the Boston Bruins today. As a big hockey fan, I've been following both teams since the start of the season so I had a clue about either of the two teams upon arriving in Philly or Boston (It was between Penn and Harvard for me). Considering I found out about Harvard yesterday, though, I actually knew who to root for in today's game. Oh, and FWIW, Boston is winning 3-0 right now with about 6 minutes left in the game. Boston's the home team, too. STORYBOOK TYPE STUFF RIGHT CH'YA Edited March 9, 2013 by CQE DanMcD and merrysoprano 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
