Dealing with the 2 person problem, i can't really wait much longer for OkState to get their stuff together. I'm thinking at this point, it has to be a rejection. I emailed the grad coordinator, with no response. I guess I could call?

I heard from my POI directly. He wasn't able to secure a TA position, and is still waiting to hear back from his grants. So he said he would put me on a waitlist and see what happens basically. I didn't know UH even admitted without funding... perhaps that might happen with me. I don't really know if I can afford it though lol.

With being waitlisted for funding at UH, rejected at UT, and no word from OkState... I've started looking for jobs. Lol

Another weekend is here. There's only 2 and a half weeks until april 15th. I think I might end up being out for the season.

Yeah... I emailed one department earlier this week and heard diddly squat. So...

Wow

I did it... I emailed the OK department to see if they were nearing any decisions on admissions.

Yeah, my POI emailed saying he put me on the waitlist, because he was waiting to hear about his grants and can't fund me until then.

I swear, if Ok State doesn't respond this week... I am going to lose my mind. I know their Feb 1st deadline is late, but they aren't UT Austin, they aren't getting 600 applications to wade through.

Sorry ssynny, that really sucks.

Yeah, even though I heard from my UH advisor, they haven't changed anything on the portal.

I feel ya. I'm now sitting past the latest day I've heard in the past for people hearing word to the school I would like to go to. It's driving me insane.

So... does anyone have an idea of what their game plan is if they don't get accepted anywhere?

Lol ^^^

I am dying on the inside. Every 5 minutes I check my email to see if OK State has emailed me back.

I looked up at my email tag... and BAM, 4 new messages. I thought for sure one of them was Oklahoma State. But no.

I have to agree that by forcing a response from the department, your POI was likely embarrassed at the most, and annoyed at the least. I would try in the future to be less hasty, and occupy your time elsewhere. If you jump too quickly, even if you had a chance at remediation, you could ruin it.

LOL turbidite... how can you possibly suggest someone enter the LSU system right now? With the complete tanking of their budget... I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole

Yeah, I never heard anything from UH formally, just from my POI.

Oh Ok.State, Ok. State. Where art thou Ok. State? Why doth thou ignore me so? Let me embrace thee, O acceptance letter, for now doth time waste me. But O, how bitter a thing it is to look into the happiness of another man's eyes, whence he has received such acceptance. ~Shakespeare's exact words when he applied to grad school and still hadn't heard back by March 11th

Hahaha, I only meant it lightheartedly.

Your stats look great for civil. Just remember that earth science people are a very different breed from engineers, which I am sure you have learned from experience by now. They like to argue ^^^ ahem. lol I assume you are planning on taking all of the deep/shallow foundations, retaining structures and eveg courses? My SO specialized in structural and it's a bitch... so I understand why you like the earth science side better. (yay) I also think it is important to remember that engineering majors/classes have different expectations, and that your senior year will be exponentially more time consuming than many other full courseload degrees. So the emphasis on research should not be at the expense of your coursework and gpa, as that will do you little good at this point, with the decent research and TAing that you've already done.

Congrats watsondoodle. My boyfriend said this morning that he felt like tomorrow would be the day... I hope he's right.

Gaaaaaaaahhhh... another day of silence.

Also... I am not sure if you are asking this specifically about admissions, or if you are foreign and aren't familiar with the general meaning behind the term? He is saying that Universities have already sent out a wave of rejections, and he wasn't one of them. Whether this is really the best term, idk.
