two faced

My friend upon learning that I was applying to masters programs and not PhD programs: "Wait but you want to get a PhD-I thought you were applying for your PhD, why aren't you applying for your PhD?" Me: "Because that isn't how it works. We've talked about this before." My friend: "Are you sure? I know I've heard about people getting into PhD programs straight out of college. I don't know if you need to get your masters degree first." Me: "...FRIENDSHIP OVER!!!"

I applied for the MA program at Chicago Divinity School and I got the same email yesterday about "Choosing the Right Graduate Program" and was like What. I already choose the right program. I saw it as a good omen, I mean getting email from a school means you are still on their radar/and or mailing list.

I had a dream that I got accepted into my top choice school with a full merit scholarship...and my dream self's response (on the dream cellphone-telephone) was "WTF Dean of that school?? You guys don't hand out decisions until mid-march!! What sort of imposter are you?!"

Thanks!!! That is incredibly helpful. I'm assuming (hoping) the interviews are just for the PhD slots...But I knew applying to Vanderbilt GDR for a MA going in was a shot in the dark. Still, my fingers are crossed!

Sorry, but successful applicants to which school will find out Wednesday???? Went back through the thread to try and figure it out but still am unsure which program you are speaking to specifically. Not a PhD applicant--but certain schools (but by no means all schools) begin releasing the master's decisions the next day/few days following PhD decisions. I want to know what is the reasonable point at which I should begin to start freaking out about checking my email.
