You can also check the results database, that has more posts than this thread Edited March 13, 2017 by DBear heyDW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that is the unofficial "you got rejected" notification. Which would be strange for any school to do. I sent an email asking what's the status.

MinaminoTeku Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Update on UConn: GRE scores were too low (very strict on that sort of thing) so the rest of my application was not considered. Ahh well, it's all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgjoecool27 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Still waiting on Maryland. Judging by the results page, I think some other people are as well. Frustrating that they are taking this long but at least I'm still not rejected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you still waiting on other schools? @michellelaura92 woot! what school are you visiting?? Are you weighing multiple choices? I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy to be done waiting and weighing and it felt like a huge weight off my shoulders once I gave my final yes to the school I'll be attending this fall. Good luck!

ALPacino Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Hello All, I've applied to North Dakota State University's PhD program in IME department. I've been informed by POI that I am currently on the waiting list and they are still reviewing applications. Has anyone received anything yet? Is there any particular date for universities to send final decisions to applicants by? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, although it is a tad annoying that I didn't even get that email saying that it wasn't going to be considered. Nope! That was my last school. Now I have a decision to make between my two schools... Still don't know which one to choose ^^; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit far for me to take a weekend trip there just because. I am choosing between ASU and Wisconsin-Milwaukee. What about you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy to be done waiting and weighing and it felt like a huge weight off my shoulders once I gave my final yes to the school I'll be attending this fall. Good luck! I was at Indiana University for their rhetoric program, which recently migrated to English instead of Comm. But I have mono and thought I could tough it out for the visit. I made it through most of the day but had to call it quits because I felt like I was going to die. I'm committing and declaring this week, but I think the hardest part is telling the professors who have reached out to me that I won't be going to their programs. The Comm world is so small and you don't want to burn any bridges, right? I'm such a people-pleaser and I don't want to disappoint anyone. Anyone else feeling this?

I know what you mean but at the same time, they get it. From what I've been told, they aren't looking for just people to fill spots. They want people who genuinely want to be there because it will make their program flourish with the minds of people who are passionate about the program.

My advice is - visit both schools and listen to your gut. Good luck! MinaminoTeku and kirbs005 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh - sending out those "no, I don't want to go there" letters was the WORST - I know that this is all part and parcel of the process for schools, but some of the professors I was turning down had been super helpful throughout the entire process and I'd been in touch with them since October. I pain-stakingly wrote the emails and tried my best to show that I was still interested in their research.. I hate saying no to people, I know what you mean - so I really wished I could have someone else tell the schools, like when you use your best friend to break up with someone in middle school lol Good luck - it'll be okay!! and you'll make the school you commit to very happy!
