My journey through Graduate School to earn a Masters of Art in Education. I was on track to become a teacher, but now everything has changed, and I'm on the job hunt with a Bachelor's in Liberal Arts and a Master's in Education with no teaching certificate.

 

Tuition

Tuition for the year is $17,620. I owe $17,320. It is due in three payments over the next year of about $5,775 a pop. I'll be searching for sholarships now that I have proof of need.

I'm In!

I have successfully accepted the acceptance letter and have made a deposit towards my tuition. I should be getting a call next week to fill out paperwork, get fingerprinted, and some time at the end of the month I should get a letter with the book list I need.

Accepting the Acceptance Letter

The staff at the Education Department took a flyer and sent my acceptance letter, which tells me that I have been accepted as long as I can provide a copy of that last letter of recommendation. I have the $300 deposit on my tuition of $17,600 for the year but this last letter has gone AWOL several times.
Assuming all goes well and that letter arrives I will have an orientation on June 20^th, 2003 and classes will start on June 23^rd. That's about 90 days away. I can't wait ; )

Entrance Follies

I received a verbal confirmation that I've been accepted to Graduate School at a local University. The hitch so far is that they are missing one letter of recommendation from one specific person, who has promised me that she sent the letter, but it has not landed in the hands of the people who need to see it yet. I am trying to contact her so I can get a copy of the letter myself and hand deliver it to the University. Then I can get my acceptance letter and start the registration process.

This is slightly aggrivating.
