That means they are working on your application and changing status , you shouldn't receive the decision quite soon. I am surprised they are doing this on a one by one basis....

When I called today they had no idea what was going on, they thought it was me resubmitting my application.

I thought that's not even possible. From what I understand, this has happened to people who applied for a PhD and were admitted to the Master's program or those who applied to the M.eD and got admitted to the MA. smcg92 1

I think it's possible for Ed.M.; the final deadline is 4/15. I suspect you are right--they internally create another submission to recommend you to a different program.

smcg92 Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 Hi guys! I was the one with the question about the new submission. I found out I was accepted today for the Masters of Arts IED program rather than the Ed.M. Anyone have any ideas on what the difference is?
easteregg Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 @smcg92 Do you mean the official difference? This is from the Teachers College website from the IED/CIE department: "The Ed.M., an advanced Masters degree, is almost 30 credits more than the M.A., and will therefore give a student more practical experience in a particular field (specialization). In the field of education, an Ed.M. is recognized as more advanced, and may possibly offer a higher salary. It may also give faculty a better understanding of students' abilities, especially for students who wish to pursue a doctorate after completing the Ed.M. requirements. Applicants to the Ed.M. degree must have an M.A. already. It is common for applicants to the Ed.D. and Ph.D. programs to be accepted first into the Ed.M. program." http://www.tc.columbia.edu/international-and-transcultural-studies/international-and-comparative-education/student-resources/faqs/ smcg92 1

I can't believe I didn't realize you had to have an MA!
pj060690 Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 Haven't received any scholarships so far...losing hope on that front
bluesea1981 Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 For those of you who are still waiting, can you see links to applications for scholarships at the bottom of your application page?

pj060690 Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 I can see mine on the admitted students portal! So they are still giving out scholarships!

bluesea1981 Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) The application for the scholarship link on my page isn't visible anymore. I saw it yesterday, then, this morning - POOF! Gone! Can anyone still see it? Edited March 24, 2017 by bluesea1981
pj060690 Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 ,If this is the LGBT scholarship, then yes, it's gone. I thought that this was the case because I received my financial award letter yesterday
