costello Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Well I'm glad that I'm not the only who hasn't heard. I'm tempted to e-mail Dr. Vonk again if I haven't heard by tomorrow. Is that too obnoxious? I've emailed her twice in the past. Danielle, by financial aid do you mean FASFA? If so I think it's totally separate and wouldn't mean that you aren't getting an assistantship. Thanks for the response ladies, it's nice to know I'm not the only one still waiting. UGHHH!!!

Danielle Nicole Deane Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Yeah, it would be based on my FAFSA. It's just an estimate though the real aid awards come out in June.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellyk Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 I haven't even done my FAFSA yet. I don't think it really has anything to do with that or else I feel like it would've been on the instructions. We had to put down our financial needs in the application.

costello Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I think you're right ellyk, I haven't completed my FAFSA yet either. I was under the impression that for graduate school loans are based on financial needs. I heard that grants aren't available and neither are subsidized loans so basically you are able to take out $20,000 in unsubsidized loans. Anyone know if this is correct? Danielle, is this how yours looked? Here's to another day of waiting. I want to move to Georgia!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danielle Nicole Deane Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Yeah, that's exactly it! $20000 unsub loan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
costello Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Ellyk, just got an e-mail from Dr. Vonk saying that they send everyone a letter whether or not they are given an assistantship so we should hear something either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellyk Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 Thanks for the update. I guess I'll just keep waiting then. UGA sure has a way of being as slow as possible when it comes to getting important notices out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danielle Nicole Deane Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 welp, didn't get an assistantship...I'll try again next year. Any results from the rest of you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellyk Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 No assistantship for me either. Guess I'll go back to figuring out how I'll be paying for grad school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajp Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Geez. I am so glad I stumbled on this site. I am STILL waiting to hear back if I'm in or not (there was a problem with my application and even though I kept bugging about it, it just got resolved this week.) Anyone still waiting to hear back??

costello Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Didn't get an assistantship either. I guess I'm on the waitlist for an out-of-state tuition waiver but even if I get that I'm not sure it would be worth it to make the move. Looks like I'll probably be staying at the U of Utah.

alafrance Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I applied at the end of March... anyone else apply late and have an idea of the timing of the decision? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
costello Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I just got a call this morning letting me know that I have been awarded an assistantship through the graduate school! I guess I need to start planning a cross country move. ellyk, would it be ok if I message you some questions about Athens? You are the only person that I know that lives there so I would really appreciate it. Also, I'm sending you and Danielle my facebook profile so we can be friends!

ellyk Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 I applied at the end of March... anyone else apply late and have an idea of the timing of the decision? The general time frame for hearing back is 6-8 weeks, but it might actually be less since I'm pretty sure they've gone through a majority of the applications. Good luck!

rdm Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Ahhh, I applied in late February and haven't heard back for assistantship or admission. How soon is to soon to start pestering them about my status? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How soon is to soon to start pestering them about my status? I'd say start tomorrow. Call up the School of Social Work (probably numerous times because you can't ever get through) and if you're in Athens now, just go there and tell them you still haven't heard anything. When I went in, the assistant looked up my name and saw that I had been recommended for admission but I just hadn't gotten anything about it yet.

alafrance Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Have any of the later applicants heard back yet? I applied March 30, and no word yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellyk Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 Have any of the later applicants heard back yet? I applied March 30, and no word yet. Have you called them yet? If not, I highly suggest you do that. That's quite a long wait when there are only a couple months until classes start up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
