DanMcD Posted March 9, 2013 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 Posted March 9, 2013 For all of those who have been following this thread from the start, you will know EXACTLY what this means for me: merrysoprano, Edugy, Sunshinegrl456 and 1 other 4
educurious Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 Accepted!!! Stats: Top 20 University, 3.9 GPA, did several education-related internships and research assistantships. Congratulations to everyone who got in!!!
CQE Posted March 9, 2013 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!

merrysoprano Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 Haha... I submitted my deposit. The acceptance video convinced me enough... Not that I needed much convincing. ASzofer, EdYouKateOr, mjsmith and 1 other 4
CQE Posted March 9, 2013 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
OhLaLaSam Posted March 9, 2013 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!
Edugy Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 I'm sorry, bro. You'll do great things, wherever you go. Thanks man, I appreciate it.
m26 Posted March 9, 2013 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
Coloradogirl Posted March 9, 2013 Author Posted March 9, 2013 Just got back from a tennis match and saw the email. Almost couldn't open it I was so nervous.... ACCEPTED!!! So excited! So fun to see all of us on here on a Friday night too! Hope to see some of you in Cambridge in April! We seriously need to all meet each other! Sunshinegrl456 and ASzofer 2
HigherEd2013 Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 I'm in too!!! I've been celebrating since I found out!!
RobotinBlue Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 I took a nap and now I've missed out on everything! I got a letter too but I'm too afraid to go look at it D:
RobotinBlue Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 holy $%$# holy #$$%# holy #$%#@ I GOT IN. FreedomInEducation and CQE 2
sharanya89 Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 Got in! HGSE masters in HUman Dev and Psych Not sure if ill take it up though Loseric and FreedomInEducation 1 1
RobotinBlue Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 Best of luck to those who didn't get in. I'm sure you guys will go off to do amazing things- Harvard or no Harvard!
MusiKK Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 So sad I won't be joining you all at Harvard. I guess I was in over my head. Wishing you all the very best. So happy for you all!!!!!!!! It was a crazy ride but had mostly happy endings.
Edugy Posted March 9, 2013 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.
RobotinBlue Posted March 9, 2013 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.
nm16 Posted March 9, 2013 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!
Hodges Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 It said financial aid would be available end of March or first week in April I believe.
CQE Posted March 9, 2013 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 merrysoprano and DanMcD 2
