Hey all! I'm on the hunt for a blend of Education Technology and International Education programs. I know that Harvard and Stanford offer both of these concentrations and allow for some level of overlap, but I can't seem to find too much else. Looking at Harvard's curriculum, it's pretty amazing and exactly what I'd want out of a program. Stanford's is pretty great, too, and is no program to balk at. Unfortunately that seems to be the end of the line. Both of these schools excel at tech innovation/entrepreneurship so it's only logical that these programs would be awesome. I really would like there to be more out there. I noticed Penn is pretty flexible and might have the resources I'd need/want, so that might be worth more research. I can't bear the thought of only applying to Stanford and Harvard. That's pretty scary. Maybe you guys can make me feel a bit more comfortable:

 

  • BS Economics - Minors in Global Studies and French - mediocre state school
  • 3.98 GPA
  • Undergrad work exchange in study abroad office
  • Final Paper published in Journal for Economic Educators (regression analysis)
  • Study abroad in France (French Business)
  • Intern at US Dept of State (member of a diplomatic mission)
  • Taught English in Korea and Paraguay
  • Marketing/Tutor at an ed tech start up in the Bay Area (test prep...)
  • Likely around 330 on GRE

I think my background is pretty much perfect for Harvard's IEP, since they seem emphasize economics/analysis so much, but... it's Harvard. I feel really uncomfortable putting all of my eggs in that basket. But that basket is so awesome. I know that's a lot. Thoughts? Anyone else out there anywhere near in the same boat?
