CQE Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 (edited) Sorry about the news, emv. However, getting to choose from Penn, BU, UVA, and TC is still really freakin' great! I wish you well in wherever you decide to go. Edited March 10, 2013 by CQE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CQE Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 (edited) BTW, Does anyone know if HGSE actually sends us a real letter? ...or am I really going to have to buy some matte paper and print this shlt out on my own?

EdYouKateOr Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 (edited) Well, looks like I need to consider it...just found out I was accepted into EdM!!!! (It was in my spam folder) Special studies so I get to create my own program!! I was so disappointed when I didn't get an invite for EDLD, but my joy right now in uncontainable! Thank you all for being there through this arduous process! Edited March 10, 2013 by EdYouKateOr RandiZ, ASzofer, mjsmith and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASzofer Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Haha CQE, I think they are sending a letter because it said in a few weeks we'd get a package with more materials. I know that Vandy sent a letter even though I found out online. I totally agree though... I want to frame that thing!!!

Sunshinegrl456 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 How's everyone doing? Still pinching myself that this is real that I get to go to Harvard! And freaking out about how expensive housing is. Open call for roommates starts now! P.S. I infiltrated the 12-13 EPM group on FB inquiring about housing and so far have gotten this from a generous soul (she shared this openly on an open FB group so I figure it's ok to turn around and share with you guys ) "My roommate (also EPM) and I have an awesome apartment - 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, $1000 each, a 7 minute walk to the School of Education, very safe area, fully furnished, and recently renovated. If you're interested, you can contact Carole & Gordon Talley (carole.talley@charlesbankRE.com or 617-492-2265)" First one to the phone wins!

vincehoward Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Congrats everyone. I got in as well but will probably pursue other grad opportunities instead.

DeltaK Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 The cost of housing is a real shocker for me! I looked at on-campus housing but I'm a little concerned about the dining plan though. Also is anyone going to the Open House in April? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably going to look for some sort of off-campus housing. I might still apply for grad housing just in case, but I'm pretty fresh out of undergrad and balk at living in a dorm after four years of dorms. But whatever works, right? Rejected.

CQE Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 As if finding an affordable apartment in Boston isn't tough enough, try doing so when having a large dog (90+ pounds). LOL Funnnnnn times. Everything is roughly 2k for a 1 BR/BA. Time to get back to this Internet search party...unts, unts, unts, bby... merrysoprano 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also is anyone going to the Open House in April? Housing is crazy! I mean, I'm from Chicago so I'm used to things not being affordable... but holy crap! So much worse in Cambridge! I looked at on-campus housing, but I don't think I can handle a dorm room. I need a kitchen in my life. I'll be at Open House!! (also costing a crap-ton!!) But I guess I better get used to spending money I don't really have... this is going to be one hell of an expensive 9 months. Can't think of anything I'd rather go in debt for though!

Inyo Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 If you live outside of Cambridge, say in Sommerville or other towns, and away from the main T lines (but on bus lines), you can save A LOT of money. I have plenty of friends who are < 45 minutes from Harvard Square via public transit (though mostly on bus lines) who pay about $700-800 per person per month. Craigslist is your friend. There is no need to spend >1000 per month per person (that is, unless you have the large dog! good luck with that one!) in the Boston area if you're willing to live a bit further out.

ASzofer Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 So you've officially chosen Harvard over Vandy? w00t Yeah. Haven't responded to the Grad Assistantship offer at Vandy yet, but I just have to go with Harvard. It's Harvard. I think if they said "It will cost you one kidney in addition to tuition," I'd still have to say yes. EdYouKateOr and Sunshinegrl456 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
