I agree with everything that StrangeLight said! Fasnacht, those are basically my exact areas of interest, so if you ever want to message me and talk schools, I'd be happy to provide advice.

Okay guys, puzzling situation (for me, anyway). I applied to Kent State for their MA program. I went complete about two weeks ago (a few of my materials were ridiculously late getting there, but anyways..). I contacted the DGS a few days ago to ask about how the notifications would be sent out, and she said that she thought it would be through postal mail. I then replied and asked her what the typical timeline of an applicant looked like. I didn't get a response yet, but I did email late last night and they're on spring break currently. Today, I logged into the Kent State website to check the status of my application. Now it says that a decision has been made, and that I should call the admissions office. Because it's the weekend, I imagine I won't be able to get anyone until Monday. Has anyone ever had this happen before? I'm so afraid; part of me is extremely optimistic, but then the other part of me thinks, "You're going to call, they're going to say you're rejected, and then you're going to cry for days." So, yeah. Anyone have to call for an admissions decision, and does it tend to be good, bad, or neutral? I apologize if this is a noob question, but I'm really stressed about this one, as Kent is my top choice and my other programs rejected me.

Thank you! I feel like you all are the only ones who understand, as none of my friends and family have gone through the process. My one friend didn't know why I was so upset, and I said it was like applying to work at a fast food joint, Target, and a jewelry store. I expected to most definitely get accepted at the fast food joint and now I feel like the other places won't "hire" me. Ah, well..time to pop some more brownies in the oven and watch some Netflix. Tomorrow is another day!

I received my first rejection today (University of Rhode Island). That was a safety school!

Long time lurker, but my Northeastern University-induced insanity has forced me out of the shadows. So, anybody want to claim the Northeastern MA acceptance?
