    Just got the email from MTSU telling me I'm on the waitlist. This whole waitlist purgatory these schools have put me into is really getting annoying. Is one offer so much to ask for?

  2. Hi Ghollo,

     

    I have an Auburn acceptance and just had a really good interview with Old Dominion. I should be finding out this week, but right now I think I'm preferring ODU to Auburn, so don't give up hope. USF is the only one I'm still waiting on, but realistically I don't think I'm going to come off the waitlist. I had some correspondence with Dr. Spector and Dr. Coovert there, but Dr. Allen is the best fit for me at USF and she is (was?) the president of SIOP so something tells me she's not going to take a student with a 3.4 GPA no matter how good my GRE scores are... I think if I get accepted to ODU and the funding is as good as my interviewer suggested, I'm going to attend there instead of Auburn. Could make a decision as soon as the end of next week. 

     

    I give you huge credit just for having the guts to apply to USF. I know the odds aren't in the favor of us waitlisters, but it does happen, so you may get to work with Dr. Allen yet! 

     

    I wanted to ask Auburn more questions about the waitlist, but they'd been so gracious about answering all my other bothersome questions, I didn't want to push. I'm crossing my fingers for Auburn but trying not to get my hopes up. Thanks for letting me know!

  3. I know that somebody just let their spot go at Florida Tech a few days ago, so maybe they'll start reviewing apps on the wait list this week

     

    That's really good to hear. I haven't had luck finding out where I am on the waitlist. Hopefully high! It'd be good to have at least one acceptance. 

  4. Thanks for the reply. I actually got my rejection from GMU this morning. I'm pretty disappointed about this one, actually. Mainly because I thought this was one of the programs where I actually had a shot. Oh well, you live and you learn. I really hope you get in!

    If anyone has an invitation to Auburn in their hands and doesn't plan to accept, please please please let them know. That's my top choice program! 

  5. Hey Ghollo,

     

    I too applied to George Mason's Masters program.  I received an email a couple of weeks ago informing me that that I was on the "short list", but haven't heard anything since.  I called on Friday and someone in the school's admissions office told me that they had yet to make their final decisions.

    Clemson--rejected

    Auburn--haven't heard back, probably rejected

    University of Houston--haven't heard back, I assume I'm rejected. 

    Florida Institute of Technology--waitlisted

     

    Masters

    George Mason--haven't heard back

    Radford--haven't heard back

    Has anyone else heard from any of these?

     

    Now that the applying is over and the waiting is killing me, I wish I'd done things differently during the application process. Can I get a do-over??
