Thanks for the feedback. And thanks for the much needed encouragement theogeek.
Diazalon, I did apply only to one program. Knowing it wasn't the "smartest" decision. I did so so that I wouldn't have to uproot my family to pursue my dreams alone. Also my POI and other Emory incentives made it a much better fit overall.
I'll be keeping my fingers crossed until April 15, but still make a better effort to make even more of a personal connection to the program as I already live in Atlanta.
Duly noted. My emotions almost got the best if me.
I'm going to take one more shot though. I was wait listed last year but recommended for admission by all of the departments professors. This was due to a poor GRE score attached to a "very strong" app. I couldn't afford to retake the GRE this season. But I certainly will this year to reapply for 2015.
Confirmed with GDR @ Emory that ALL invites have gone out. I was waitlisted last year. Thinking about seeking an interview more aggressively this time around. Anybody have any thoughts on calling the chair of a dept to make my case?
therealhogwarts thanks. I may give them one or two more days this week before I email in, but it's definitely worth asking.
Kleetz712 I spoke with Dr. Scheib, Chair of PCRL, on Tuesday 1/14/14 and she informed that the process was ongoing. Hopefully that means they didnt send out invites between 1/15-1/17...
Bibleprofwannabe, After not hearing anything at all and seeing the "Rejected" post on the Results Page, I called Emory's LGS directly and waited for them to tell me that they forgot to notify me of my rejection. Instead, I was told "the PCRL Faculty recommended me for admission, but I was not in the first round of offers." But I still haven't received any official notice.
Thanks, figured as much. Hopefully the right one(or more) says no well before April 15. I've grown pretty tired of feeling like my life is in a state limbo.
Hi All,
I haven't heard anything from Emory yet. But I contacted the Laney Graduate School directly and I was told the PCRL Faculty has recommended me for admission, but I was not in the first round of offers to go out from the admissions office. Again nothing official, BUT DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS? Am I basically awaiting a waitlist notice?
