I'm already torn between the two, and it would be worse if I couldn't go to both open houses. @writegirl I'm in the same boat (Stanford POLS and HGSE Ed policy). I have no idea how to choose, and I was really counting on the preview day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huskyboy2015 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 (edited) Congrats to everyone who got accepted. I have been accepted to IEP program. Would like to connect everyone who got accepted, since we all started our journey together on this forum,we should all stay connected and meet in person so that we can all stay connected during our year at Harvard. I know Heather is in my program, and there are a few more,someone from UAE got into special studies. Let us all send our contact info through personal messages. For all who did not get in,do not feel bad,try next year. There have been plenty of candidates who got in after being rejected. Look forward to connecting with people from all over the world who have been accepted. Edited March 6, 2016 by Huskyboy2015 typo HBDXB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskyboy2015 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I think everyone who wants to meet up as a group so we can all stay connected private  message your name and email  to me and then we can all connect. I think this will be easier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to find it again.... I originally saw it under a program's page that was not my program. I see there's a link on the MBE page but it doesn't work for me.  Weirdly enough, I see it under my program (IEP) page now, but the link doesn't work... but I was able to register yesterday? I really don't know where it is now, but I did get this confirmation email: Dear Heather, Your registration for the April 4 Open House for Admitted Ed.M. Students was successfully processed. We look forward to seeing you on campus soon! Event: April 4 Open House for Admitted Ed.M. Students Date: Monday, April 4, 2016 Time: 8:15 AM to 6:00 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulpix Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Also, the email tells me that the pre-matriculation page should have an agenda for the Open House, but I can't find that either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endlesscoffee Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 They're probably updating things? Hopefully they'll have some info up soon so that everyone can make plans. I don't have to worry too much since I live in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graciasadios Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 My significant other and I just booked flights to visit during the April 4th open house. I'm not sure if it is specific to SLP or for all of the Ed. School. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulpix Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 (edited) I just booked my train tickets to come April 3-4! Â IEP has an alumni conference on April 2-3 and all admitted students are invited. Â I'll be at Penn's open house on April 2, but I'm hoping to catch the end of the conference on Sunday! Â It's gonna be a whirlwind few days.... Penn and Harvard all in one weekend.

I have no idea how to choose, and I was really counting on the preview day. Well, I'm in the TIE program, and it looks like TIE specific Open House is April 1 and Stanford's is April 4. So I will just have to do many cross country flights. And I guess if the general admitted students day is the 4th, I will just have to miss it. There's no way I could make a decision without visiting both schools, since there doesn't seem to be that much about Stanford online! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulpix Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 FWIW, I just re-read the acceptance letter and it says the pre-matriculation website isn't really available until next week, so maybe they'll be updating it more in the coming days, and fixing links and such.  It's pretty clear that much of it (like the messages from students and other stuff) has been the same for a few years.  I noticed they have out-of-date subway prices and such  Can't wait to visit, though!  I'm definitely depending on the open houses to help me make my decision... that and I'm really nervous about financial aid!

joy27 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 i got accepted! thank you for all your support!! eduphd, HBDXB and BeaLaCuriosa 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskyboy2015 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) I think we all have to decide if we are going to accept before we get a group together and meet, I am going to wait for the financial aid before I decide. Sorry, I forgot that a lot of people have multiple acceptances. Edited March 7, 2016 by Huskyboy2015 change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskyboy2015 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Does anyone know the last day for us to accept? i guess we need to know the financial situation before we can decide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaslch09 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I'm late to the party, but I literally had to run to the opening night of a show I'm music directing right as I got the news.  I got accepted to the EPM program though!  I am really excited and need to think things over, but sadly the more and more I think about finances the more I am thinking I probably won't be able to go to Harvard.  There's the cost of attendance, plus living expenses and I still have $40K in student loans from my undergrad.  I might choose a less well known program with full funding as my option.  Maybe if I ever decided to get a Ph.D. I'll apply to a "name" school.  There seems to be more assistance for doctoral programs. Congratulations to all those that got in though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eduphd Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 13 minutes ago, teppeice said: Yes indeed. Thanks a lot! Have you decided where to go yet? Nope - I applied for several PhD programs (fully-funded ones, but not big names I guess) and now I'm waiting for their decisions. Do you think I should go Stanford instead of going to one of the PhD programs if I am admitted? I wanna be eventually a researcher/univ professor so some say it is better to get PhD quickly, but others say Stanford is worth paying for, and I should go first Stanford masters and then consider PhD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
