Alright, here it is! https://www.facebook.com/groups/2820829144682967

Hey, I am starting at Georgia State in the fall and I'm just looking to get in touch with some of my fellow classmates! I have searched for a Facebook group but haven't found one yet. Anybody else here who accepted their offer at GSU?

I applied to 8 schools, got into 7. I was really freaked out about not getting in so I applied to a bunch. If I could go back I would have applied to like 3 or 4, and I would have gone for some of the higher ranked programs.

Hey, anybody going to Georgia State? Is there a group yet?

I applied to 7 and wish I had not spent all that money! I have been accepted to 3, and had another 2 interviews that I am waiting to hear back about. I think the key is choosing schools that are a good fit for you, and making a good case for yourself in the personal statement. I did not really apply to any "reach" schools

Honestly I would think that no news is good news. Most programs seem to send out rejections at the same time as acceptances.

I didn't receive a confirmation either and it was making me really nervous! I called Teresa (the lady who sent the interview invite) and she was able to confirm that I was on the schedule. So if you are worried about it you can definitely call to ask! I didn't ask about the 1-1 vs. group interview and have been wishing I did - let us know if you find out! It seems like they are signing up multiple people for each time slot so that kind of points towards a group interview...

Just a note for the people who applied to University of Tennessee; I was looking back at my emails and an email I got in January said they would be sending notifications "by the end of February". I guess tomorrow is the day!

Go look at what your total cost will be for in-state vs. out of state. Then take those numbers and punch it into a student loan calculator. I worked it out for the schools I'm looking at. When I graduate my monthly payments will be something like $250 for in-state, vs. nearly $600 for out-of-state. Yikes!

I live in-state but 5 hours away from Atlanta...I was not offered an option to do a video interview because I think they assume that I live close by. It feels a bit silly driving 5 hours for a 15 minute interview, but I'm afraid to request a video interview because this is my top choice school and I really don't want to give the impression that they aren't a priority. I would trust them to be fair about weighing the in-person and video interviews equally.

Okay thanks, that's actually reassuring! I guess they will just send stuff out when decisions are made.

Have you heard anything from Georgia Southern since the deadline? Like an email confirming that they received your application? I have not gotten anything at all from them and it is making me nervous that something weird happened and they didn't get my application! I definitely submitted it before the 15th, and all of the other schools have sent something confirming that my application is under review.

Hey, thanks for posting! 1. How do you like your program so far? 2. Do you have any tips for incoming students to be prepared for the first semester of grad school? Anything you would do differently if you could go back?
