Thanks tayfray!

I received all of my admission decisions and I am very happily going to St. Cloud State (not having to choose definitely relieves some stress)! I hope everyone does well in their endeavors and gets into a school that suits them! ~Sandra p.s. I think it's great that you can see peoples stats on the results page now by dragging over the red diamonds.

Phew! I got into St. Cloud State, and received a scholarship! I am so happy to have gotten in. Good luck to everyone else!

Tayfray, did you hear from the U of M? I hope you have better news than I did.

This is my pumpkin, Sydney. and again.

So, I get a very small letter in the mail from a university that had a deadline two weeks ago. First thing that comes to my mind was wow thin envelope, that was a really quick rejection. A little pessimistic I know! So then I open, it states the graduate school has recommended me for admission, BUT the application still need to go through the department. Ahh, why would they even send me this. Maybe some people would like to know, but this just means that I freaked out for nothing. Of course I got admitted through the grad school, I met the required GPA, GRE etc. Why would they do that? lol.

I was in a similar situation and this is what I did: I asked a professor that I knew fairly well to right a LOR. The class I took with him related to my research interests. I discussed my research interests and also gave him a copy of my related research paper. Although I never worked with him, from the information I gave him, and his history with the topic, he was able to assess my skills and ability and give an ostensibly good recommendation.

I haven't heard anything, and I keep checking the "results" page as well. I had a miniature anxiety attack when I saw that someone from U of M applying for SLP was rejected. It didn't occur to me that it could have been a PhD candidate until I got home from work like two hours later, which of course it was... ha!
