  1. Have you tried contacting the Dept directly? I have found BGSU to be really responsive if you just contact them.
  2. See, I know lots of people use POI to mean Professor of interest, but I think Program of Interest makes more sense in lots of cases.
  3. Colorado is all done with their's. BGSU is still waiting on people to decide.
  4. A plea from those of us still waiting to hear from schools: If you are weighing multiple offers, yippy for you... But please, please, please, make a decision soon. Sitting on offers means programs others are waiting to hear from can't update those students. I envy you all with multiple offers, but please, help the rest of us out, and decide (and soon, please) :-)
  5. Seeing the USNEWS Rankings this morning, I finally caved and emailed my POI at BGSU. This is part of the response I got back. “Currently, we have sent out 7 offers, and have 4 people on our wait list. Our recruitment weekend starts Friday. Our hope is that students will start making decisions soon after that. Further, the current plan is to admit 6-7 students for next year’s class who represent a balance of both I and O interests. As to your status specifically, although you are not on our wait list, your file is actually quite high within the admissions pool. What will happen is if students who have been admitted/waitlisted decline our offer, we will open the admission review process back-up. Your file will be one of the first we consider. Please know that we had a record number of applications this year, with a really high percentage of stellar applicants. The fact that you were not in our first round of offers should in no way be taken as indicative of a lack of interest in your application for our program.” So please, help me retain some sanity. Does anyone here have an offer from them, and do you plan to accept/decline? I am trying to figure out if there is even the smallest of hopes. THANKS.
  6. I really want to go to BGSU. I hadn't heard anything, so I contacted my POI. This is what I got back in an e-mail. "Great to hear from you. No, we are actually not done with the admission process. We do have some offers out, but we still have a couple more to make. This year we had a record number of applications, with a really high percentage of really top notch students. It is taking us longer than we anticipated to review them all. Beyond that, because we know not all students will accept our offer, we have sent offers to those students who we have already reviewed and would like to admit so that we can at least keep the process rolling. That is to say, although we have made some offers, if those students turn them down, we will work to continue to make offers to students in a sort of revolving door type system. We have placed some students on our wait list in anticipation of this. So that is a long way of saying, no, there is still an excellent chance for admissions to our program even at this point in the game. Please feel free to send along any additional questions you might have, and we really appreciate your interest in our program - as we review applications it is helpful to know who the students are who are genuinely interested in our program." So if you are holding an offer from them, and don't plan to accept, please let them know so they can pass it on (maybe to me ). It also sounds like if you are really interested in BGSU you should e-mail them to let them know.
  7. Is anyone else hoping for an offer / planning to go if accepted?
  8. Curious, has anyone heard from BGSU, UConn, or George Mason?
