LOL, when I saw the quote totally thought you had accepted to Wayne State
I was like O NO.....
Me? Or THINKaboutIT?

How did you find that out about Texas A&M?
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?
PhD:
Wayne State University - Accepted/Accepted
Florida International University - Accepted/Declined
Central Michigan University - Accepted/Declined
University of Oklahoma - Wait List/Declined
Old Dominion University - Wait List/Declined
Wayne State University Business School - Wait List/Declined
Texas A&M - Rejected (Not Taking Students, Budgetary Reasons)
University of Georgia - Would have been accepted (PI Not Taking Students)

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.
-
Yep, I am amongst the group that has accepted so far, I think almost everyone from the visitation weekend got an offer. Really exciting.
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?
-
I'm wondering if there is a difference between being wait listed and being on the "shortlist", anyone know the difference?
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.

Hiya
Did you get an email from University of Georgia? Were you able to receive feedback from universities that rejected your application?
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.
-
When did you hear from the Univ. of Oklahoma? Did you get a letter or an email?
I emailed my POI and inquired on my status. She told me.

Is it safe to assume rejections from programs I have not heard from yet?
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."
-
Has anyone heard anything from Texas A&M?
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?
-
Oh no... I wanted to work with Dr Eby as well. Did the graduate coordinator make a mention of it?
Yes, Dr Eby was undecided a few months back, but she finally said she's not taking a student.

Did you ring the grad admissions office in Uni of Georgia or NIU?
UGA. I should have been in the initial acceptance pool, but Dr. Eby will not be taking any students this year, so...yea.
-
Thanks for the feedback everyone! I feel like it's starting to get late in the game, but it's helpful to know that some of you are in the same boat :-) Has anyone heard from Florida International?
I have heard nothing from FIU. Emailed the graduate coordinator and she said to wait until mid march...
-
Has anybody heard from University of Georgia or Northern Illinois University (NIU)?
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.
-
So I am wondering if you all are still waiting to hear from schools, or if you have pretty much heard one way or another. I am still waiting on 7!
Still waiting. heard back from 5, waiting on 9. I feel like i'm going to get bombarded at the last second.
-
Well it depends... some of them may offer an in-state tuition waiver and a stipend, some may only include a stipend and no tuition waiver. Unlike PhD programmes where successful candidates are often assured a tuition waiver and stipend, in a Master's programme successful candidates may have to compete with each other to secure an assistantship. The best bet is it to enquire with the programme coordinator. Hope this helps!
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
-
Accepted to purdue, so unless cornell comes thorugh with a crazy good fit, as well as an acceptance it looks like that is where I am going. Just need to wait for official confirmation before I decline everywhere else.
That's excellent, congratulations!
