It's almost time and the most important decision still isn't here

Posted by joro, 08 April 2010 · 43 views

Only 1 week left before I have to make that final decision and I still don't even know where I'm going to go. I was accepted to 5 of the 10 schools so far, but the most important school has yet to give me a decision. Decisions were supposed to be released online yesterday, but still nothing and they finalized all decisions a couple days ago. I sent out an email to 2 different people in the department asking for an update on my status, but have yet to receive any kind of reply. I even sent it during office hours... Could this silence mean that I was rejected and they have no reason to talk to me anymore??? I did find out that 2 people received acceptances last week and in February. I want to hope for the best and not give up until I see a rejection notice, but all these thoughts of rejections and other people's acceptances is really getting to me.

Have you tried calling? In my experience, it's easier to ignore an email than a call. Just be super polite and say that you are inquiring about your application status.

I have not called them yet. They were very responsive via email before. I will try calling on Monday.

I called yesterday and was told that decisions would be sent through mail. It shouldn't take that long for me to receive mail, right?

I found out I was #1 on the waitlist at the #2 program in the country yet I was rejected by my safety school. WTF kind of sense does that make?!!? This year is insane.

Joro-you should hear by Monday at the latest. Crossing my fingers for you!
