HGSE 2018

[ShePersisted]

I did not receive any call nor email requesting for an interview.

Could I safely assume rejection at this point? I believe all "accepted" and "waitlisted" calls have been made!

[clc1520]

Just to confirm -- applicants to the master's programs are not expecting to hear anything until March, right?

[brainman1130]

@clc1520 That is my understanding. The website says late March, but from last year's forum, it looks like decisions were posted in early March. Like the 4th, 5th.

I just received an email that "The result of your application for admission to Graduate School of Arts and Sciences is now available to view via the online application system." A rejection but not surprised since I was not extended an interview. So I awaiting Stanford, and UPENN GSE.

Officially got the rejection email for the PhD program! At this point I’m just relieved that it’s over.

[ohrice]

Also got rejected. Congratulations to all those who got in!

[EdPhDHopeful]

Also rejected on my end. It seems like it's gonna be another year of prepping for me. Sigh. 

[Cookiz]

Also rejected... Waiting on admission results from other programs now (namely, Economics and Public Policy), as I am assuming that I am also rejected from Stanford GSE (apparently, they sent out admission offers and waitlist decisions over email last Friday?).

[Andrew_Doane]

Officially rejected as well. Strangely I feel nothing. I think I already knew because of the lack of interview. 

[RyanHGSE17]

Has anyone heard back from UC Berkeley GSE, yet? Or applied?

I emailed admissions coordinator, specifically asking if initial offers were sent out yet. She replied saying "Admission decisions have not yet gone out. Decisions should be out by the end of this month."

But it's weird, because somebody posted a result on February 7th. Anyone else have info here?

[Sof45]

Hi! How's everyone feeling about the Master's admission results? 

I think the results will come out March 2nd!

[memphismocha]

Hey @Sof45! I've been trying to guess when the results will be posted. I've been thinking it may be March 2nd too...can't believe that is only 2 weeks away!! Which program did you apply to? 

[jsk32155]

@memphismocha @Sof45 I also have a strong feeling we will find out on March 2nd as well. I applied to the EPM program. Just got a rejection from Brown UEP this morning ( their loss) and I got accepted into NYU 2 weeks ago. 

[Sof45]

@memphismocha Higher Ed! How about you?

Anyone else active on this forum that applied for Higher Ed too?:) 

The wait seems slower the closer we get haha!

What makes you all think March 2nd?

[memphismocha]

I applied to Human Development & Psychology! Did anyone else also apply to Stanford? I’m wondering if their decision will come out this Friday. 

[kasserole]

I also think March 2nd, because it's a Friday and it seems like they come out the first or second Friday of March. I HOPE we find out March 2. I applied to the Ed.M Specialized Studies program.

[Sof45]

Yes the past four years or so the results have come out the first Friday of March! 

About 10 days .... ! 

[jsk32155]

@Sof45 I just spoke to a student who's in the program and said students are making acceptance phone calls the evening of 3/2. Trying to keep calm...

[memphismocha]

Does anyone know if information about scholarships, like the Urban Fellowship, will be included in the admittance letter? Or would we find out all of that financial info later in the month of March?

[Sof45]

@jsk32155  That's great info, thank you!  Do you know if that's only students in the EPM program or all Master's programs? Thank you!

Thanks for the heads up- this wait is borderline excruciating!

Also curious about when they let people know if they get either of the merit scholarships, hopefully someone has some info.

 

Are you in Memphis? Me too! Hopefully HGSE takes a shine to our city and we both get in

[smashtron]

@memphismocha last year I found out in a separate email about the merit fellowships. Just checked and it came on 3/20 - it’s really hard to wait for all of the financial aid info to come out after hearing about the admissions decisions!

hope that helps

[memphismocha]

@SSPhopeful Yes I am! I did TFA here and I stayed to teach after my commitment. 

@smashtron Thanks so much! That is helpful to know. It will be hard to wait for information about funding...that will definitely majorly impact my decision about whether or not I can attend if I am admitted.
