So, I realised I made a silly mistake. I wrote the name of one of the professors I would love to work with wrong, after writing it right in a previous sentence. My word processor corrected it endless times, so this was a mistake it went. Do you think that's a straight rejection? 

also, my stats: 

 

Program: Education PhD
GRE Score: 159V/153Q/5.5 AWA
GPA undergrad: 3.5

Work Experience: 4 years: Ministry of Education-medium level position. 
Undergrad Institution (Public, Private, Ivy, etc.): Private college
What Other Schools Are You Applying To: ---

 

thanks!

How bad was the mistake?  If it was like one letter, I don't think they will care that much.  Honestly, I would be more concerned about your GPA/GRE than the typo.

FWIW, I wrote the wrong name of the program I was applying to (in one sentence), and still got admitted

Hello everybody; this is my first post here!

Looking forward to having a group of people to anxiously rock back and forth with until April.

Program: Ph.D. - HDLT
GRE Score: 164V, 154Q, 5.5AWA
GPA: 4.0 overall (B.A. undergrad) 
Work Experience: Several years as a part-time writing tutor, science tutor, and community outreach composition instructor. I'm also a nontraditional student and I've been working full-time (45-60 hours a week) since 2002, when I was seventeen; needless to say I've got a bit of work experience ranging from health care, to casino surveillance, to technical writing, to working as an electronics technician. 
Undergrad Institution (Public, Private, Ivy, etc..): Public, state school. I think most people around here would call it "third-tier," but I've loved it.
What Other Schools Are You Applying To: CMU, Brown, Columbia, and a few others.

I feel confident about my LORs and GPA/transcript. I took some difficult courses and managed to balance it all with work and life. I'm also feeling okay about my SOP, though who isn't a bit worried that they didn't say the right things? 1000 words to sell somebody on your life history and future trajectory? Challenge accepted.

What I'm concerned about is:

• My low quantitative score (I'm not terrible with math, it's just that my humanities background didn't really prepare me for the GRE quant, and I wasn't able to find a lot of free time to devote to practicing). I'm worried this will be a blemish.
• My lack of real-world teaching experience; sure I've been a tutor and an outreach instructor, but I have no real, verifiable teaching experience. Though my program is more focused on research and policy I'm terrified that my lack of education experience will hold me back.
• I dropped out of my first attempt at undergrad back in 2005. I finished about a year's worth of credits, but I had some major family issues (parents' health) that made it impossible for me to continue. I also left with a sub 2.8 GPA. All of that disappeared when I transferred to my current school, but I'm quite afraid that my old transcript will be a disqualifying factor.

 

Anyways--thanks for sharing your journeys. It's a lot of fun to see everybody's varied walks of life.

I don't think any of those are big red flags, so you definitely have a shot! According to The "Who Studies Here" page on the HGSE website, their quant average for PhD applicants is the 58th percentile, which corresponds to a 154/155 average. As far as your experience goes, I'm sure a lot of applicants have teaching experience, but from what I understand, HGSE wants diversity in the experiences of its cohorts, so I wouldn't worry about that too much, either. The holistic review process should work that out. Just based on the info you provided, it seems that you're qualified, and your admission will just be a question of fit (Are you what they're looking for? And are you the most qualified applicant within that niche/"fit"? Which is largely out of your hands). 

Of course, this is all just coming from a fellow applicant, so keep that in mind! I wouldn't worry though. You will end up exactly where you are supposed to be. Good luck to you!

[jmaroon]

Hoping that someone here might be  familiar with the Special Studies Program and can provide some advice. I'd also love to hear from other SSP applicants! I'm going for a real long shot here in applying due to my GPA and GRE.

Program: Special Studies
GRE Score: 152V, 149Q, 5.5AWA
GPA: Below 3.0 overall but changed major and my last 60 credits average is a 3.7
Work Experience: Lots of part time experience and volunteer work in student affairs (leadership positions in student activities, events, diversity/inclusion programs, Women's Center, Peer Advisor in several capacities)
Undergrad Institution (Public, Private, Ivy, etc..): Medium public state school
What Other Schools Are You Applying To: none 

I’m interested in pursuing the Special Studies program due to its interdisciplinary nature. I’m hoping to study ways to best support trauma survivors in their pursuit of higher education. I’ve seen courses in Higher Ed, HDP, MBE, and L&T that would all be valuable to what I want to study. I am hoping that my SOP and course of study is what the admissions committee is looking for in their SSP admits. My LORs are supervisors from my leadership positions/part time employment, and a professor of a discussion heavy & writing intensive upperclass course that I got an A in. Unfortunately, even if my SOP/study plan is as strong as I believe it can be, I’m worried about my GPA and GRE scores. 

A little background - my interest in helping trauma survivors comes from my own experience as an undergrad and the recovery that followed (where I met many fellow survivors like myself, as well as other individuals in counseling with their own unique stories).  Those undergrad years in a very toxic and violent relationship is evident in my low GPA. I did not get approved for special accommodations for the GRE (I have a brain injury as a result of the past relationship, plus a few other anxiety/stress/processing disorders that affect my test taking ability) and as a result, my GRE score is way too low with the exception of writing. I don’t know how to strengthen my GRE since I’ve appealed/reapplied for accommodations and still get denied (even with tons of documentation from past/present health professionals). I’m not too sure what I can do about my GPA outside of explaining it in my application. The lowest grade I received in my last 4 semesters was an A-, so fingers crossed that will help balance things out.

I’m going to apply and pour my heart and soul into getting my SOP and the Course of Study supplement. Feeling a little discouraged at times, but still trying to be positive! Good luck to other applicants!

A LOT of students here do not have teaching backgrounds. It is not important.

Quant scores are not important either, although PhD students are required to take statistics so they must at least consider it, but that average sounds about right.

I'm sure you can find a way to explain the situation with your  first attempt at undergrad (either in SOP or some kind of addendum).

Your scores are low but I have *heard* that SSP is easiest to get into because it's impossible to really compare the interests of the students against each other. I know one person in it this year, he is studying something quite fascinating and unique.  So I guess just really go deep into what your interests are and why they are important to you.

Vulpix, thank you so much for your response. It's good to hear that it may be easier to get into SSP; however, I still do think my weaknesses will make things an uphill battle. I've read so many profiles of students in SSP on the website and searched Linkedin to see what current students are doing in the program - everything I've found is so interesting and it's great that Harvard offers a program that allows for such flexibility!

Guys, I am FREAKING OUT

It's a long shot, but HGSE is one of my top choices. I just got onto the web site to see my application checklist and noticed that standardized test is in bold with no information, which leads me to believe that my GRE scores did not make it.

Sure enough, I check ETS and I had them sent to HGSE instead of Harvard GSAS like the PhD app tells you to; I sent them right from the GRE testing room and we weren't allowed to have materials with us, so, without being able to look, I selected the Ed school as the logical choice, but no, it should've been the Harvard general code.

So, am I screwed? I emailed both Harvard GSAS and HGSE to ask if it's possible for them to get my scores--I mean, despite numbers, I still sent them to Harvard, right? How hard could it be to connect scores to my name?

11 years ago I went for a master's program... I applied to 5 schools, including Harvard. As I was about to hit submit, I see that Harvard is the only one no longer accepting older GRE scores. My last test was well within the five year range, but the test had changed formats two years prior, and Harvard was the only program in the country to not honor old scores. By the time I realized that, it was too late, and I never finished my application. I did get into the other schools I applied to, so I wasn't super upset, but I was bummed that what felt like a small issue had kept me from applying.

Now, on Dec. 15, when I spent countless hours winnowing my statement down to 984 words, and so much time and money on this process, I am concerned. Do you think that the wrong GRE code could essentially render my application invalid?

I just quickly paid another $27 to send my GRE scores to the correct code, Harvard general, but it won't arrive of course until 3 weeks past the deadline.

Is it over? Should I just assumed I'm screwed?

Arghargh ripping my hair out over here... I was so careful and thoughtful through this whole process, yet never though to circle back to ensure I picked the right dang ETS code.

Thanks for any truth telling or soul calming words you might have.

I'm so sorry for that situation... I'm sure it's very painful to go through that again!  Have you called HGSE/GSAS admissions?  I think they do respond to emails quickly, but talking with a human can really soothe the soul a little more.  I think they can be understanding about it.  I wouldn't count yourself out, but be honest and keep communicating with them.

That happened to me as well, haha. But I called the Admissions Office and they said I should send them ASAP. Then I called ETS and said they release scores twice a week electronically, so Harvard will get them at some point within the next three days. Check with ETS and tell them your situation. Tomorrow, call the admissions office and explain them the situation, they will know best if you are still on time.

After you posted, @hopefulPhD2017, I went back and looked, and I did the EXACT same thing. I reordered my scores for GSAS today and emailed the admissions office. Fingers crossed we'll be okay! You're definitely not alone!

[hopefulPhD2017]

Thank you all so much for your thoughts and ideas! @Vulpix I did just what you suggested. I called HGSE--my scores are there. Then I called again, and they confirmed that they cannot share them with HGSAS as they are two institutions, separate. I was like, but, um, your faculty are reviewing applications right? Can't you add them? I was told they can't discuss the process. Argh!!

HGSAS assured me that applications are reviewed even if there is a missing part, and HGSE said it happens but would not say more.

I'm hoping that we still have a chance, @Espeon and @forgetful26, I guess I'm in good company!

Just curious--don't know if this is too much info to share online--but what are you each applying to specifically? I struggled to pick between HDLT, CIS, and EPPE but think I made right decision. Not sure. Don't know how detailed we should get in these forums.

[hopefulPhD2017]

Oh and I don't know what the secret number is, but my profile just turned from decaf to caffeinated so I guess there's at least a silver lining to my mix-up. Ha!!

I put mine in my breakdown/stats, so I don't mind sharing! I struggled to choose between CIS and EPPE, but I looked into both and chose EPPE based on the professors' research interests. What about you guys?

Some places don't interview at all (Stanford, for instance). HGSE's recent PhD interviews appear to have been conducted via Skype, and Vanderbilt invites students to campus. For HGSE, I think I read on another thread somewhere that they interview 50 and take 25. (I do know that the entering cohort they go for is 25, and I would think those not given offers would go on the waitlist). 

I don't think HGSE interviews for Masters programs, only PhD programs. But this is just based on what I have learned by stalking threads/probing the website.

Good point. I also struggled between those two, but ultimately went for CIS because of the people I'm most interested in working with. I still wonder if it was right choice though...

Acceptance profiles of everyone admitted to HGSE during 2014-2015 from GradCafe

I did the above research last year. I figured it would be helpful to repost due to the GRE scores and financial aid info. Again, if I were you, I would read through the entire HGSE 2016 thread because it was super helpful and active. Feel free to send me a personal message if you have any questions. I am a current student at the Ed. School.

Very cool! Thank you for sharing. I notice there's only one PhD on there yet 25 are admitted every year. Wonder why they don't report out more?

[jmaroon]

@hopefulPhD2017 Since all that data is compiled from gradcafe, I would guess that they are probably not on this forum or maybe post a few times, but don't come back after being accepted. I've fallen into the trap of not keeping up with all my online communities.
