Waiting is finally over! got my offer exactly on the deadline date..

Thanks for the info. I'm an international student and student visa processing can be initiated only after i receive the offer,As the session will start from march 2015 i was getting a bit worried on completing all formalities in time. once again thanks a lot !!

If an applicant has been put on unofficial wait list what should be his application status pending or declined?

Their may be several reasons... May be coz NZ is a scarcely populated country and AUT was setup just 14 years back and still its in 500's list in QS ranking... The possibility that a university keeps trying to improve its popularity cant be ruled out. So they might just be trying to attract better profiles by sending out early offers . But contradictory to this is that my friend received an offer from Stanford university in February after just 9 weeks of wait whereas offer from his 5th choice was received after two more months!

@biisis thanks for the reply, i was just wondering why the grad schools don't send out reject letters right away during their their selection process, i find this long wait as nerve wracking. I feel that i will get through in my first choice, as along with good grades i have 5 years work experience as a scientist in Asia's space research organisation (govt. sector). I hope to give you a good news soon

Hey Guys...i applied for only 2 grad schools in Auckland as i have a wonderful family to look after too in here 1) AUT---> Gave me the offer 3 weeks before their set 12th Dec'14 deadline. 2) The University of Auckland--> 8th Dec'14 deadline is fast approaching and not even a glimpse of updates... Ranking wise second one fares far better... so is this truth or just a myth that is germinating in my mind due to anxious wait that universities send out acceptance offers early to the students who fare better with respect to their set criteria. Or they like to wait for all the applications to accumulate before they make their final call?

I received an acknowledgement though after 3 weeks and a week later, the students portal showed all my documents as complete. Any buddy here who has been accepted for March 2015 session.

No matter how much i try to be calm and keep my self loaded with office work... i'm still facing waiting anxiety. The best solution for all this is that wishfully all the high ranked grad schools send out Accept/Reject to the applicants a bit more quickly.

Hi everyone, I applied in first week of October 2014 to The University of Auckland for Masters of Engineering studies prog. December 8th deadline is just round the corner and i have still not heard a bit from the uni....this is making me anxious.... anyone has any idea about their admission process and how much more applicants have to wait.... .
