EdYouKateOr Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 Yes, it's such an experience! Only those going through it can understand! I think the group on here would make a great cohort #4! Don't know much about our backgrounds, but I know our locations are diverse! (New York, Florida, Chicago, LA, Mass)...) I do know they strive for a good mix! Hope this helps us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdYouKateOr Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 I hope so too!!!!! I really wish they were more specific about when we would hear. I'm dying over here lol.

MusiKK Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Based on the past years it should be this week or next. The steering committee (not sure if the make the decisions) is meeting on Monday. I found that on the calendar awhile ago, but can't seem to locate it now! Ugh! Who knows they could be discussing Cohort 1 graduation, but due to the timing, I believe it's related!

kentuckygirl Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I have seen the 10th and 12th in previous years and it seems to be on Fridays.... If that is the case we are looking at this Friday or next.... Hmmm, who is sleeping the next 10 days?? Do you know this program has a lower acceptance rate than The med school??? Crazy!

kas18 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 The program takes 50 students, any idea how many they'll interview? Did any of you apply to be considered for the Ed. M program as well? To be honest, the virtual sessions scared me a bit because the current students they profiled were SO HIGHLY ACCOMPLISHED. I get the focus of the program and that it would be best to take people who already have a good network within the field, but wow, the bar is set really, really high. Do any of you know people who are currently in the program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdNerd2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Do any of you know people who are currently in the program? I do. My husband's close friend from college is the the 3rd cohort. He was an English teacher before he went to HGSE. kas18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincehoward Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 A friend of mine in an EDLD cohort let me know that interview emails have gone out already. Congrats to all who received offers to interview and good luck in a couple of weeks. It's crazy that of the 50 people invited only half will actually get into the program. Ridiculously competitive.

I think my world just stopped for a moment... I knew it was competitive, but really thought I had a shot. I guess you had to think that to apply in the first place... Oh well, at least I have my day job. Will wait to see if I get in Ed.M. feels a little better to not be stressing about it! I am sad though.

I am sad though. I would wait until there is a confirmation of the information (or at least until 5:00 p.m. EST Friday before you let down completely). That said, from what I can tell, it is the most competitive graduate program in the USA at the moment... which means all of us want a chance, but few get one. I figured that perhaps half of the applicants were not qualified, but that still left over 1500 highly qualified people - and if the ones they were profiling were any indication, it seems you need to already prove yourself to be a highly successful standout before you get in to be trained to be a further success.

EdYouKateOr Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 I agree about confirmation and will celebrate with all those who get an interview. I noticed no one GCer ever posted their interview. Maybe they have better things to do than obsess on this forum. I promised myself I wouldn't be depressed,...

I promised myself too, remembering the stats are nearly impossible, but it is so hard. I hope that one day other universities follow and there will be a chance for many to have this type of learning opportunity. Harvard is setting a great precedence and I hope that others follow so more than 25 a year can get more training to make stronger ripples in education. In the meantime, I look towards other plans (so I cannot stop and be sad) - I do not need Harvard to make a difference, I can do many things on my own too - it is important to understand that as amazing as their program is, it is just a program - and anyone can have an impact if they want to.....

MusiKK Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Well it was defiantly worth a shot. It was fun being worried about the possibilities. Thank you all!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kentuckygirl Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 The more I think about the post, the more I would not lend credence to it without a phone or email confirmation from Harvard. It may be that the poster is accurate. That said, the person who posted created their email account just yesterday and only posted one message to this forum saying that the invites went out. As we do not know anything about the person and they have no history on the forums, it seems the information should be confirmed with Harvard. Again, it may be completely accurate, but I also know that, sadly, some people come on forums to mess with emotions. Better safe than sorry. That said - Plan B, anyone???

MusiKK Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 On that note the admissions office won't give up any information. They all seem to have to stick to the early mid feb thing. So back to the unknown. Yay? Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So back to the unknown. Yay? Lol Did you call them? I know last year they gave a window of when letters were going out (actual dates). I figure the way the window works is that they send out the invites on the first day and then others get invites as people decline invitations. From reading past forums, it seems the invites did not go out before the 10th or 12th, so unless we have confirmation, I suppose we are still in the unknown. That said, it is always good to have a plan B.... got one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
