Looks like DCE administration is trying to get extension students more integrated with the rest of the Faculty of Arts & Sciences. Earlier this month they also mailed out notices about how some extracurricular activities that had previously been Harvard College only are now open to extension students as well.

Refuel on the go with the commuter meal deal

ANNOUNCEMENT

September 24, 2004

With the new commuter meal deal, Extension School students can purchase in advance a block of nine meals to enjoy lunch or dinner at Cronkhite Dining Room or Dudley Cafe on the Harvard campus. For students with a Harvard ID, funds are added to their cards as Crimson Cash; students without a Harvard ID are issued a Crimson Cash card. Cronkhite and Dudley both feature homemade soups; a salad bar; made-to-order sandwiches; hot entrees, such as barbecued pork loin, eggplant parmesan, or New England baked cod; sumptuous desserts and fruits; and a range of beverages, including Starbucks coffee. At lunch students enjoy a $10 meal equivalency per swipe, while dinners feature an all-you-can-eat buffet. View the weekly menus or learn more about commuter meal deal.

Oh, same as usual--not bad, though graduate school applications have pretty much overtaken my life.

The idea of a thread about the Harvard meal plan for Extension students strikes me funny for some reason. How's the food out there?

Cornell, UVA, and George Washington for Asian Studies; Columbia and American for International Relations (Columbia is a Master's, American is a PhD); Northwestern and USC for Communications (PhD). I'm working on the Asian Studies applications right now, and once those are out of the way, I'll move on to the others.

Well I'm a Politcal Communication major with a minor in Chinese Language & Culture, so I'd be open to any of it. Ideally, I've decided, I'd like to earn that Asian Studies or IR M.A., even if I get into a PhD program as well. I'd most likely defer my PhD enrollment for a year in that situation. Cornell is my first choice for Asian Studies, and I just sent in my Cornell application yesterday, so we'll see how it goes.

Good luck with that. I'm thinking about applying to a PhD program in education. Got any GRE tips?

Haha...well seeing as I did worse on the GRE than I'd planned, I might not be the right one to talk to. The verbal (which is my strong suit) is much harder than the SAT verbal and is based almost entirely on vocabulary, so knowledge of "test words" is extremely helpful. For the math, you might want to dust off that old trig or geometry book and brush up on your basic forumlas.

Studnts at top PhD programs in education have mean GRE scores in the high 1200s-low 1300s, just to give you a ballpark.

It's good for them to try to integrate them. Other than them being frozen out of some places I think nobody would know anywya.
