Is anyone but me still waiting to hear from Boulder??
-
out of curiosity, where did you get the number 800 from?
Actually looks like I exaggerated. I had read this post earlier on the CU Boulder thread. Made me realize how small and competitive the program really is!!
I went to CU Boulder's openhouse in September. Dr. Ramsberger stated that they had 514 applications last year, and they accepted 30 people into the program.
Now, an interesting little tidbit that most people probably don't know is that CU-Boulder offers a three-year program for students who have no prerequisites. They spend the first year taking undergrad classes, and their second year they begin graduate classes along with the other people accepted into the master's program. Here's the bad news, CU accepted 12 three-year students last year, leaving only 22 possible seats for people applying to the Master's program for Fall 2013 (there's a slight discretion in the numbers because they said they sometimes have a class of up to 34 students). They did not give any information on how many people decline, are waitlisted, etc.
They said the average GPA of applications they receive is a 3.6 They gave the average GRE percentile scores of the students acceptedinto their program.
Quantitative: 63.4 percentile
Verbal: 81.25 percentile
Writing: 67.9 percentile
The take-home message of the session seem to be: "Don't count on getting in here. No one is a shoe-in."
Sorry to be a downer, guys, but you asked for the hard facts. That said, best of luck to you.

Hi BlarrneyStone! Thanks so much for your response. My last initial is "L", so maybe that is why. I didn't realize it was so competitive either! I knew it was an awesome program, but their stats aren't posted anywhere, so I wasn't aware that there are about 800 applicants and 30 or so positions! Wishing you all the best luck for the rest of your programs!

Hi Everyone!
I applied to both CU Boulder and Northwestern, and they are two of the three programs I have yet to hear from. I see that they've been sending out decisions since the end of last week, so my hope is dwindling, however I'd still like to know one way or another. I haven't gotten anything from either of them! When do you think it would be ok to call and ask for a status update?

Actually, University of Wisconsin--Madison changed their program this year. It used to be a three year program. For the first time this year, however, they've implemented a 1-year Post-Bacc program that out-of-fielders must complete. After completion, out-of-fielders have to reapply for admission to their Masters program.
I know this because I applied for their Masters with the impression that it was a three year program, and was contacted by their admissions coordinator asking me to apply to the one year Post-Bacc instead.
It was a bummer!

Oh! Sorry I totally read that wrong! But I did get into a three year program at George Washington...so I'm not sure if there are two options there? To continue is contingent on me getting a "B" or above in all the pre-requisites, but I don't have to reapply.
