Hi.
So, I had an interview to my dream school three hours ago. It went ok, but not as good as my previous two. Had 6 people interviewing me - wasn't expecting that. Got asked a question that threw me...I'm wondering if I can respond to this question via email to the person directly, even though the interview is over. They did mention I could contact them regarding any questions I had about the program.
Is it tacky to admit that you cocked up the question in the interview, but can give them an answer now without the pressure?

Keep positive guys, most of us still have lots of schools to hear from - so it's far from the end. Happy Tuesday! :-)

Congrats to all of you!
Still no word from UT
I feel like my chances are getting smaller by the second
Stay positive tiarabun!! No news is just that - no news. Try not to theorize what it could mean just yet! Anything can happen!

Anyone else quite confused as to why Cornell hasn't put us out of our misery yet?

This is my favourite topic. Nothing but good vibes. Hope you all have a great Wednesday! I have my first interview today!!

Received two interview invites over the weekend, one of which was from the dream school!! I have to share that my GRE scores were awfully low and I wrote the wrong SCHOOL halfway in my application, because I was doing two apps on the same day.
I was DISTRAUGHT when I realized...but quickly contacted the department to let them know of the mistake. I had almost given up hope until this weekend!
I'm praying that the interview will not be in vain! All things are possible!! Be encouraged.

Have you already submitted your apps?

I have never thought of myself as a cheerleader before
. But gosh this process is hard. The only thing that was similar was when my husband I were putting in bids for a house and waiting to hear back. It was so stressful. I remember when I just knew one house was going to be ours. We put in a competitive bid and waited and waited, and our agent let us know that we didn't get the house. I was devastated. But I'll never forget that my agent sent me an email and said, it may takes some time, but we are going to find you the perfect house for you, and we're not going to stop until we do. You got it? I wiped my tears, which were many, and said, yes, I get it. And we did get our house (that is an interesting story in itself). I love our house. We are still working on it, but to me it is soooooo beautiful! So, to all on this forum...we are going to get into the program this is perfect for us. It may take some time, but it will happen. Get it?!!This spoke volumes to me as I'm going through something similar with a house...thank you!!!

If I get into the dream school - I'm buying a ticket to DC to see my fiancé.
If I get into any of the other schools - I'm throwing myself an elaborate "Leaving London" party.

Don't lose hope yet, folks! Optimism is key here. Or at least that's what I keep telling myself.
Meanwhile, is anyone else going INSANE waiting to hear something? The suspense is killing me.
Yes! Gosh. I am irrationally bummed out about having heard nothing, re: my 7 apps. I applied between three fields and apparently I only picked schools that release decisions late in the game. For comm (phd), I applied to NYU and USC.
You are all very much right...we have to be positive! No news is just no news...until it's good news - or news that we have to deal with accordingly.
It's almost February!!!

Thank you mimi03 and Eager! I called...but no luck really. The adminstrator said they'll be notifying till April - so I will just have to wait for a formal notification.....via post. (AND I'm International - so it'll take ages before it reaches here!!)
-
Somewhat frustrated because I submitted my applications too early and had heard nothing from the univs since then.
I want to contact POI or graduate advisor or someone in the program and do not know what to say. My enthusiasm has been tempered as time goes by.
You are not alone...mine is following me on Twitter.

Well I guess Cornell is out of the question for me then...ah well. At least I'm prepared for the rejection email.
So it begins.

Hi everyone!
I need some advice :-S
So, I had a great visit with one of my schools - before the application was due - and things were looking promising. The application was due Dec 1st...and I haven't heard a peep since. I've now seen from the results search that one person was notified back in December - so the question is...is it a good idea to call the admissions office - and what's a good excuse to use?
-
Just read in the Results section that someone's heard back from Cornell and Maryland (I'm guessing the same person) - which are two of the schools I applied to. I haven't heard a peep. Safe to say...I'm officially in panic mode. For Maryland especially...I really wanted to be in DC!!

I'd love to hear back from a school this week...just one Lord...I just need one.
-
Nothing from AU yet I'm afraid...and judging from past years it's still going to be quiet till the end of February.
I know Cornell notify quite early...so we may start hearing back from them this week. :-S
How are you all feeling?
-
I saw that someone heard back from Cornell on the results search...has anyone else? NOW I'm nervous.

Is it tacky to answer a previously asked interview question within an email?

Thank you all...I'm definitely not going to send the email now. I'm very glad I asked...
As you said - it may have gone better than I think...only time will tell.
