Well, good news....it's over !

Me? Or THINKaboutIT?

Through this forum. It's unofficial, but i'm sticking with it. I contacted my PI and A&M's Psych department and all they told me was "our application process is over, please take other offers etc etc". Since then, no one has said anything about being admitted or wait listed or rejected from A&M.

Officially accepted an offer. Here are the final numbers. 3 PhD acceptances, 2 Masters acceptances, 3 wait lists, 2 rejections, and 3 situations that were out of my control. Overall, not bad ! Anyone else coming to Wayne?

Hey guys, so...all of a sudden...in one day...i got bumped up form 3 wait lists. Central Michigan University, Wayne State University, Old Dominion University, and i already had an offer from Florida International University. Anyone out there that can help me complete my pros and cons list? Apologies in advance if this is the wrong section to post this. If so, please steer me in the right direction.

I didn't receive an invite to the visitation, but i did receive an acceptance/offer, however, the acceptance letter says that they are still trying to "securing funding". Is this the same for you, or have you received a funding offer as well?

Has anyone received an offer/accepted from Florida International University?

Short list means that the school has narrowed their choices down from the initial pool of applicants. For example, I got an interview from San Diego State University for the M.S. program. They had 80 some applicants and narrowed their selection down to the short list of 10 of which they interviewed and accepted 8. Wait list comes in after the offers/acceptances have gone out. So if i wasn't part of those 8 from SDSU I would be on the wait list or rejected. Hope that clears it up.

I emailed my POI and he told me. Yes, I did receive feedback, what i wrote in red were what the schools said were deficient in my application.

I emailed my POI and inquired on my status. She told me.

I would say no. Only because i just found out i have been on the wait list for a while now. An email i received said "we have sent out offers and rejections, but you did not receive either, you have been on the wait list etc. etc."

THIS, 100x this. A&M is my top pick, and it seems like they are taking their sweet time. I heard someone got in contact with a POI a week ago and they still haven't started looking at the apps. She was told to check back late March, early April.

Anyone hear anything from Connecticut?

Yes, Dr Eby was undecided a few months back, but she finally said she's not taking a student.

UGA. I should have been in the initial acceptance pool, but Dr. Eby will not be taking any students this year, so...yea.

I have heard nothing from FIU. Emailed the graduate coordinator and she said to wait until mid march...

I called the grad admissions office yesterday and they said that decisions have been made, but they couldn't give out the info yet...I'm assuming it's a bad thing for me lol.

Still waiting. heard back from 5, waiting on 9. I feel like i'm going to get bombarded at the last second.

It does! Thank you. I have an interview with a masters program and I was under the impression that most of the time Masters program aren't funded. But, on their website it says this "Funding in the form of assistantships is available so that students can give their full attention to their graduate studies." I'm assuming/hoping that's a good thing.

Throwing a question out there. If a masters program says they have assistantships what does that usually mean? Any information would be helpful. I did google it, and i got a range of answers. Thank you in advance

Another week, another frantic clicking of the "refresh" button. Why can't this application process be standardized? Everyone here's back at the same time from all schools? LOL

That's excellent, congratulations!
