Did he by any chance mention the likelihood of getting funding by any chance?

I contacted the graduate director directly. It seems like last year(s) they admitted more students and wait listed them for funding. It seems like this year they are only admitting students they have funding for.

Wait listed at Northeastern and Loyola, rejected from BU and Brandeis.....rough week for me.

Blah, I emailed the program coordinator instead of the grad director accidentally. I got a "your application is under review by the department right now, you should know in a couple weeks." Aka rejected. I really wish I'd emailed the grad director so I could have just gotten a definitive answer. I feel like I can't now though since I contacted the program coordinator.

I applied. I hadn't heard anything from them but I assumed I wouldn't till March based on the results page from previous year. Thanks for the info about the adcom meeting! I haven't heard from any schools since I got a couple acceptances three weeks ago and it's been driving me nuttttts.

Yep! I'm a little nervous but excited.

Are you going to the visit in a couple weeks?

I'm not from your discipline and have only heard back from 2 schools, but they were both fully funded acceptances and I had typos (small ones..one was actually an extra the) on both applications. I'm sure if everything else is strong, you'll be fine with a minor error.

So how obnoxious is it /when is it ok to email the BU department administrator (not grad director) asking when they generally expect acceptances to go out?

ughhhhhh

Someone was waitlisted for BU today? That makes me so nervous. Has anyone else heard from them?

I noticed my application status changed to accepted on Tuesday and I finally couldn't take it anymore and emailed the grad director on Friday. He said they're still trying to figure out the funding situation and will then get back with more information.

I talked to the director today and he said it was totally fine for me to miss the last day. Phew!

You have to click on 2013 fall and then it will bring you the page with your status. I heard/read they only took 3 PhD students last year and 2 the year before...which is why I know I won't get in haha.

I checked my temple application and it now says "decision made" and university acceptance under that but they haven't contacted me. It just said complete yesterday morning. I keep thinking it's somehow a mistake! I applied to Brandeis but I don't expect to hear back from them for a while and I'm 99.9999% positive it will be a rejection anyways.

I checked an application late last night and saw it was said "decision made: university acceptance" but I haven't heard from anyone. I had checked that morning so they must have updated it in the afternoon. I'm hoping they'll contact me soon. The irrational paranoid part of me is thinking the acceptance on the application site is just a mistake!

No Temple acceptances yet? Hm

I just found out today that I was accepted to one of my programs with funding today (thank god...I can sleep at night again and maybe stop refreshing the results page quite as often!). I don't want to say where, but it isn't among the highly ranked programs typically discussed on this forum. Anyways, they want to fly me out for a visiting weekend in March, from Thurs to Sat. I however have a wedding on Saturday and am in the bridal party (aka kinda can't miss it). Do you think it would be flaky/and or a bad first impression if I asked if I could come out for just Thursday and Friday? I really would like to visit before making a decision but I also really cannot miss this wedding. Advice would be greatly appreciated!

I'd probably email them telling it was blank. You could say that though you assume it is a rejection because the file name says decline, you wanted to let them know that the PDF is blank in case this is an issue for other rejection emails they have sent/will sent.

Has anyone else here applied to BU, Kent State, Temple or Northeastern?
