Did you call to ask and they told you your position number?

Hmm so basically extremely slim chances of hope to be chosen off the waitlist...I did not receive any such an email.

May I ask how you were contacted...email?

I'm confused...did you receive an email stating this or was this told to you?

I'm in the same boat...have been thinking about giving them a call all morning.

Yea I'm having major anxiety issues for real...

Someone on the results page said they got accepted off the waitlist yesterday but there were no further details...

Soo being that today is the 16th and seems to be "waitlist" day...should I contact my waitlist schools tomorrow to check on my status? Or should I just continue to be as patient as possible and wait to see if they send me something? I'm pretty much nauseous w/ anticipation

Found out I was rejected today...I'm so upset I can't even cry right now. Maybe that's because I'm still holding out on the other schools. 4 applications 2 rejections 2 waitlists

So um today is Friday...and from what I was told (by them last week) ETSU should have had decisions out by now and I have no confirmation either way. Should I call or wait til Monday since the 15th seems to be the magic number? I already don't like Mondays so I'm really anxious about this one

Seriously! I'm checking nonstop and my anxiety levels are through the roof...can we please know by the weekend!?

I took a GRE prep course thru my undergrad school...it helped but still didn't get me the score I needed. I'm starting to think I should play lotto...might have a better chance winning than getting into grad school lol.

I only saw two more notices on the results board, one rejected and one waitlisted. I however, like you, am still waiting. Ugh!

Seriously! It really isn't worth much if you can't get into the freakin' program...ugh As for me I'm dying here...the end of the week cannot come soon enough and even then all of the results may not be finalized and/or I may end up disappointed. I feel my sanity slipping away slowly. I've even started job searching again because if school doesn't work out for me I need to move anyways and I'm gonna need a better job. So yea it isn't just getting into a grad program..it is a life-altering outcome. Like someone else said, some of us need to know ASAP so we can figure out what the heck to do with our lives for the next year! **sigh**

Okay sooooo I got the story on how these admissions decisions seem to be trickling out slowly. Apparently a graduate admissions person has been out so that's why they weren't all completed at the same time. She looked me up and she couldn't see anything for me so far. The hope is that by mid next week all decisions will be updated and sent out. So yea I feel a tiny bit better...

Yea I wish there was something in my Junk Folder but I check that everytime I check my email. I'm just a little confused by their whole notification approach. I'm guessing if you're accepted you got an email and if you're waitlisted your status changed. If you're rejected then you'll be the last to know?

I really just want to give you a virtual hug. I've been there and it is one of the worst feelings in the world. I'm fearful that I may end up having the same fate this year as well. Do you really know all of those languages? That seems pretty talented and makes you stand out to me.

Okay so just to clarify, everyone who has been either accepted or waitlisted thus far has seen their status change on Goldlink...no one has received an actual email or letter? I haven't seen any rejection statuses yet...so yea I'm nervous

I understand where you're coming from. I applied to only 4 schools this year after completing my 2nd bacc in Comm. Sci & Disorders last year. In 2010 I must've applied for 7 or 8 schools after completing the pre-reqs for being out of field. Yea that was just a big waste of money but surprisingly I was waitlisted for two schools. Then in 2011 I took a GRE prep course and slightly improved my scores with the new GRE. So here I am now...5 years after I started trying to get into this field, having spent thousands of dollars, improved my scores, GPA, job experience, letters of recommendation, and completed the degree. I've been waitlisted to two schools, rejected from one, and awaiting one more decision. I'm also going to be 28 this year...was really hoping to finish my master's before age 30 (personal goal of mine). So yea am I frustrated (you bet), do I wanna cry (yes but haven't yet), feeling hopeless (of course). I'd like to think I could become an SLP-A if things don't work out this time around but it is not that easy...I've looked into it. So yea I'm about ready to throw in the towel and apply for a different program next time around. I dunno what else to do!?

It just amazes me how people have to go into debt during the application process alone. Sure I could've spent thousands of dollars in app fees, transcripts, GRE scores, visiting campuses, etc. But I don't have that kind of money nor do I feel comfortable putting it on my credit card (again). I've been there, done that. I'm becoming so disheartened I can't even focus in my daily routine. I'm obsessively checking my statuses and emails every chance I get. I try to explain this whole process to those who are not familiar with it and they think it's nuts and that it's making me nuts. Someone posted the info they obtained about USF's admissions process...they said 200 people were on the waitlist!? Say what!? Okay so math is not my best subject but c'mon isn't that a little ridiculous!? Why torture people w/ such crappy odds. Then I wonder about the schools I've been waitlisted for...are they running similar numbers? Sorry but I'm venting to people I know will understand where I'm coming from.

Ha I seriously haven't slept well for a few weeks now. This is SERIOUS business, literally people's whole lives depend on these decisions and I'm sure everyone has a story of struggle and triumph. So I can relate when I see people getting accepted or rejected. Rejected (been there) and accepted ("patiently" awaiting that). I'm just hanging on til mid-month when I'll have a much better idea of what's going to happen. (happy thoughts, happy thoughts)

Yea...we do have two more days this week so I'm going to assume we should hear good or bad news by Friday afternoon. If not then I will surely call to check in on Monday morning.

Ditto

My status still says referred

Has anyone heard from ETSU (East Tennessee)? I saw on the board someone posted they were waitlisted today and another person asked how they found out. I was told decisions would be out this week and I know there are still two more days in the week lol. I'm just anxious is all ugh...
