I also agree that a quant score is silly to reject someone over: Most schools I applied to/looked at said they looked less at the quant portion, or required a lower score for that section.
Though I will say that different people have different ideas of a poor quant. score. Do you mind sharing what percentile you fell into?
My entire life is on hold because I have no idea what's going to happen after 5/22. I have no place to live, as my lease is up. I have not been accepted/rejected from any program yet, but all of them are geographically very far from my current location. There's no way to plan my life or have any idea of what the future holds for me right now.
It sucks.
One of the schools I applied to started notifying admits by phone, and sending rejections via their website. I have heard nothing either way, of course. It's driving me completely mad. If I didn't get in, just tell me so I can move on. It's terrible trying to keep my hopes up.
It doesn't seem likely. I applied on 12/1/12 and I haven't heard anything. I'm not sure how they're notifying people, or what method. It seems totally random to me right now, since there have only been acceptances via phone and then a few rejections via website.
I would just like the relief of a decision.
I just can't tell why they wouldn't notify everyone of acceptances/wait lists/rejections all at once. Why space it out? I have no idea about my status right now, and other people are finding out. The stress is too much and I just want to know, dammit.
I applied December 1 so I can't tell why I haven't heard.
I'm still holding out hope for both of us. It's not over until you're rejected, and I have a feeling you're a much stronger applicant than you realize. Keep your head up!
As of now, I just need to accept that I made myself the best possible applicant I could. I have a decent GPA (I think), decent GRE scores, a dual-degree, great extracurricular experience, and a wonderful SOP.
There was nothing I could have done differently. It is now out of my hands.
