LetsHope

Just wanted to come back and say today I received an acceptance from Duke. What a rollercoaster of a day! Congrats to everyone who has received acceptances!

Thanks for the heads up. Didn't get in . Guess I'll be waiting to hear back from Duke.

Iteachreading: I would assume so (that is, dont expect to hear anything until Monday). I feel your pain...on the results page someone posted that they received an acceptance to the applied linguistics program, which is the same department as TESOL. I got all excited only for another day of no updates . And now that I know its just around the corner, the wait is so much worse! Hang in there, we'll be hearing back soon enough.

Congrats Georgia2012! That's awesome! Nothing on my page, though I am in a different program. My heart was racing as I logged in to check. I just want this to be over!

That's so far I hope they come sometime this week, I don't know if I can make it any longer.

Oh my god this thread is so relatable. I constantly hear things along the lines of "Why are you worried? You're so smart, you'll definitely get in! You're putting all this pressure on yourself and stressing out for no reason!" from family and some acquaintances. First, everyone else that is applying is also incredibly smart and successful, I'm actually on the lower end. Second, it is incredibly belittling to the application process to assume I'll "just get in" -- I spent months writing my SOP! And finally, I'm stressed out because I'm imagining the embarrassment that I will have to deal with if I don't get in. Because my family is just expects an acceptance. The pressure is coming from you!

Teachers College here. They said mid-March, so I'm expecting sometime next week.

http://www.tc.columbia.edu/i/a/document/26421_2012GraduateSurveyReport.pdf According to this, there were 81 graduates in 2012 (including PHDs). Take a look at page 36 -- it has a breakdown by degree type.

I applied for a MA-TESOL before their early deadline and also still have not heard back. I called and they said to expect a decision around the middle of March, so hopefully sometime next week (though really it could be any day now). Hang in there!

That's awesome sphera, congrats! I have no adviser to ask or I would. I spoke to admissions today, and they also said to expect a decision around mid-March. I wish it was coming sooner -- I feel like I am living in limbo.

Time to bump this thread! I applied for a MA-TESOL. What about you guys? Anybody else apply for the same program? Have you heard anything yet, or have any information about when decisions are to be expected? Judging from the data on the results page, it seems last year's decision (for TESOL) came mid-March. Here's to hoping it comes earlier this year!
