Yeah I got that one too! I was on the phone with USF for a longggg time this morning, and basically was told that our admissions are unofficial. We still need to be approved by the college of behavioral sciences, and then our admissions will be processed by the graduate school. They told me it could be about a month before we get the official OK, but that it's all just a formality type of thing. Also, do you know how students typically dress for classes? I was reading the handbook and it said that we need to wear scrubs for clinical.

Which one?!

severe weather

chronic illness

application season

If you're waitlisted, it's likely that you'll hear SOMETHING after the 4/15 deadline. That's usually when schools know if they will be taking from the waitlist, and who from the list will be accepted. Good luck, we're all rooting for you.

I would call on Monday and ask. It sounds weird, so it doesn't hurt to double check. Good luck .

Has anyone who accepted at USF received a USF e-mail address?

What did the letter say that you received?

chicken soup

A few girls in my undergrad program applied to NEU and still haven't heard anything. In fact, on the Northeastern thread, another poster offered up an explanation. They said that batches of applications were handed out to different faculty members, and their deadlines to make admissions decisions is 4/15. So there may be a few reasons. Don't worry yet!

If anyone knows of an admitted students Facebook page or wants to start one, please let me know!

Waitlists move pretty fast! Don't give up yet!

Also, I just got an e-mail from USF acknowledging that I will be attending!!!! Still as happy as I was when I first got the acceptance

I wanted to congratulate you all once again. I am very thankful to have discovered this site and this thread, as I believe it made me sane when I was feeling mostly insane. I hope that throughout the next few years, you all experience wonderful success! I would also love if anyone would check back in here periodically- I would love to see how you're all doing! Also wishing good news for everyone who is still waiting.

I don't think it is too early at all. I had application deadlines in January/February, and I asked my LOR writers during the first week of September. Some of them actually let me know that it was very late to be asking- they had students asking back in May! I would say the sooner the better. Good luck .

I think that last bit is important if you are ONLY choosing a school based on financial reasons. If Montclair will make you just as happy, and you feel that you will get the same experiences/quality of education, then the lowered tuition is a bonus! Tuition shouldn't be your main deciding factor, but it doesn't hurt. Good luck with your decision. I know you'll make the one that's best for you

Personally, I did all of the prep work by myself. I am terrible with math, so it was really that portion I focused on. I bought a GRE math book and worked through it all (including the general concepts) for about 2 months. I also bought a corresponding GRE flashcard set and quizzed myself from that.

I think it depends. Would you benefit from learning the strategies for the GRE? It's possible. One of my friends actually had a decrease in scores after taking a course. Can you compensate for low scores with other portions of your application?

Turns out I need to take neuranatomy this summer

Still waiting on an answer from UVA.

I officially decided to attend USF, but my SO's mother is NOT happy. She has come up with gems such as: "Florida is mostly for the old, you know that, right?" "South Florida will be too hot for you." "Are you sure that's the right decision?"

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!! That is awesome. YOU are awesome!

Yay!!!!!! Guess I'll be seeing you in August
