Harvard Graduate School of Education

[baileyismybff]

<p>I am currently a junior in undergrad studying Elementary Education but my long term goals are to serve in some capacity in higher education (Professor, Dean, etc) and also perhaps to be involved in Policy/Evaluation of Education. I am going to apply to Harvard and I would love to hear from anyone who has applied or attended, what were your applications like as far as gpa/gre scores? I have a very average GPA, about a 3.6. I am of course planning on taking the GRE soon, and will likely take it more than once. I have a good amount of education related activities as well as some experience. I might be able to get a letter of rec from an HSGE alumni but I'm not positive on that yet. What are my estimated chances of admission? </p>

The graduate school application process is about more than just “getting in.” It’s about finding the school and degree that will best serve you personally and professionally. HGSE offers 13 master’s degree programs and two doctoral programs, each exploring its own realm of the expansive education universe. A great starting point is to read each of the program descriptions and identify the programs that immediately jump out as most interesting and useful. Another approach is to browse the course catalog by subject and find the individual courses that best match your passions, knowledge gaps, and/or career goals. Look up the faculty members teaching those courses and learn more about their research interests and career paths.Can you see yourself at HGSE? Are you excited about joining this community?
