I'm waiting to hear from the FAU Integrative Biology program. It had a January 15th deadline. The wait is killing me.

Is anyone here applying for the Integrative Biology PhD program at FAU? If so, have you heard anything yet? My application status says a decision was made and referred to the department, but it has been like that for a while now. Would it hurt to call or email someone in the department soon? Thanks for any input!

Yes that was a typo. I guess I will have to call the admissions office and straighten things out. Thanks for your help everyone!

It's not rolling admissions for my program. I started an application a couple of months ago for the Fall of 2014. The due date for everything is around January 15, 2013.

Hi all, I'm a little new here. I hope this message is in the right section. I applied to a PhD program in Integrative Biology and have been sending application materials as I receive them. So far, the school only had my GRE scores and my transcripts-no letters of recommendation, no statement of purpose, and no supplemental application (required for the program). I had an advisor interested in working with me provided we could come up with an interesting project and funding. Well, I received a notice of denial from the school I was applying to. I really cannot appeal to the professor I want to work with since we don't have a solid project lined up and he hasn't written a letter of sponsorship. What I'm getting at is-can a school deny you before they have all of your application materials? I don't feel like I got a fair shot. None of the materials were late (the application cycle doesn't close for a few months). I'm stunned at the moment. It wouldn't be so bad if the school had everything and then decided to reject me-I'd understand that, but to deny me without having everything in front of them just leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.
