I haven't the wait is agonizing

I've already started my plan b - apply to a new job and later retake GREs and reapply optimism has gone out the window here :/

I have 4 rejections and only 3 more schools to hear back from. Two melt downs and god knows how much chocolate later, I've come to terms with my fate that this might just not happen for me this year and have started a back up plan

Yay that's great! Good luck so happy for you! I got my rejection from nyu last night. I knew it was a long shot but I'm not gonna lie, that rejection stung more than the others :/

Yeah, they have a 4+2 program so some of the seats are already taken but there's still a chance! A lot of the students in the undergrad program try to apply out and go elsewhere because of the tuition. And my friend got a phone call when she was accepted into the program from the dean

Thanks! I agree, that helped make the process make more sense (unfortunately it still doesn't calm my nerves :/) And my friend said that Seton Hall's first wave should go out soon!

I know this whole thing just sucks. It's like I'm stuck in limbo...give me the news whether its good or bad already (but praying to god its good of course). I guess I just had my breakdown today so that's why I brought this up and talking to my friends about it doesn't really help because none of them are going/have gone through this. I think I'm going to contact the schools Monday to see what's going on because I can't sit here and not do anything anymore. I also read that after mid-March, it's completely ok to do that, so why not. Hope everyone else in the same boat as me hears back soon with GOOD news! Praying for all of us!!

I read somewhere that usually all the rejections go out towards the end of March for grad programs. Since this was for grad school in general I don't know how well it pertains to speech programs but needless to say since the end of March is basically here, I haven't heard back from some schools that have been notifying people, and I feel the need to go let out a huge breakdown I've been suppressing til now. Sorry if I bummed anyone else out but this is my rant I thought the stress of applications was going to kill but boy was I wrong; this is going to do it.

I'm the same way so I completely agree with you! I need to know what my next step has to be whether it be towards school or a plan b

Thanks! I'm trying very hard to stay calm but I don't think I'm doing a good job haha. Totally wish I had your mindset!!!

No problem and congratulations!!

Thanks! I sure hope so! I got a call from Seton Hall so naturally my heart starts racing. Turns out it was the alumni association asking me to volunteer for their freshman preview weekend. I need to find a way to not be so on edge. I don't know why I even got excited. My friend told me SHU's program is up for re-accreditation so that's their main focus right now and I shouldn't expect to hear anything for a while. -Passing this on to anyone else who applied there!

Congratulations!! I can only imagine how that must feel

If you feel like this is your calling then I agree, don't give up on it! I know this is the only thing I want to do so if I don't get in this year I'll def be applying again next year. I'll just have to find a way to strengthen my application. Brooklyn's out for me but I really hope they see your passion and grant you admission!

Same. I just happened to check the portal today and saw it there.
