My status page also did not change... probably just busy. I am going to ask my boss if I can get off on the 9th... or call in sick... who knows. We all need to get together regardless as the ones who stressed the most! Anyone else going to be taking evening classes? It is sooo hard to take TSU seriously now!!! Seriously, this is great. Congrats to everyone and good luck to anyone waiting...

I GOT IN!!! WOOOHOOO!!!

True, Sosh. I don't know if you guys pray, but I do.. so I will keep you in my prayers... maybe someone is a different religion than me and can pray to their God so we have our bases covered?

After looking at all of your great applications, I am somewhat less confident, lol... Well, here is to hoping they liked my essay! Seriously though, if not, I wish rejections would come faster.

No, I applied to UT Polisci when I first came home from Iraq, which is much harder to get into and did not get in.. we moved to Austin and I started at TSU and found out about LBJ... my wife teaches near Austin and I work in Austin, so we are staying here for now... but I sure hope I get in... kind of my last attempt I guess.

Can I go ahead and say you suck? LOL.. Man, here is to hoping! And here is to telling kids not to mess up their freshman year! I would not be so nervous otherwise.

Anything I would say is a guess. But an educated one. It seems they are on a rolling basis, but put the borderline ones to the end... kinda of a quasi waiting list. It is killing me as well. I only applied to LBJ (I am attending the TSU program right now), so it is a big deal to me... We will all know within a month.

Could you join the admissions committee at UT??

I sent an email to the admin person since I have had several conversations with her and she said not getting anything yet just means that she has not sent anything yet. She will send in short bursts from now until mid-March.

Also, did your status page change on the UT IED thing?

Congrats! Nothing on me either. I sent an email because my new email is not working though.. ugh. Man, I am happy for you, but feeling a little sick since I did not hear anything and I submitted my ap in September... I kinda had my doubts. Good job! Are you still considering Bush?

GPA: 2.7 (baddd first year and then I went back), Without 1st year, 3.6, upper level 3.8 UT Arlington GRE: V: 540 Q: 600 AW 6.0 Experience: Military Journalist in Iraq, Director of the press conferences from Baghdad, Senior Editor, AFN Iraq, President of the largest student created group at UTA, Chosen by college to meet PM Bhutto before her death. Recommendations came from 3 professors, 1 from a Harvard PHd, 1 Columbia, 1 Indiana U. I think my essay was outstanding.. but I could be bias.

He was rejected 3 or so years ago. Got his MPA from TSU San Marcos and got a great job in Canada, so it was not the end of the world for him. He basically told me he though you would need an 1100 to have a realistic shot...

Do you think it helps? Especially when you have to write an essay about why you want to go there and you mention what you experienced? Just say yes, and make me feel better.

When I was on my visitation day, one of the administrative people talked about having a wait list for the first time since the amount of people that get accepted is not the amount that enrolls and they have started receiving more funding, meaning they can have more students... Seemed positive... they were not sure if they were going to do it at that time. I spoke to my friend last week who spoke to a student member of the admissions committee, and they mentioned the wait list, and said first round letters would be out within two weeks (from last week), so I figured they went ahead with it, possibly in a different fashion then was discussed, since that was just a plan at the time. I now wish I had asked EVEN MORE questions than I did. Like, what does an application look like that does not get in. I know a guy who did not get in with a 900 GRE, so I am guessing there are more of those than we know... hoping.
