I honestly don't recall why I didn't apply there the first time around! I've never been rejected before in my life, and this does not feel good! I hope to have my application completed this weekend, and I've already had my transcripts ordered! We'll see. I do love Boston!

Aww, I'm sorry Joe. We can get a drink together tonight ... in spirit? I'm now waiting on UF and Temple. I was told by my undergrad advisor to not even submit my GW app and save the money because of the PhD candidates all getting MA only admits. UGH. I'm now adding Hunter College, University of Alabama, and Northeastern in. All by Wednesday is my goal. I need to get going on my graduate studies, I miss academic work too much to wait tables for another year.

I just looked online- I was not offered a spot in the program. However, they promise if I re-apply next year I won't have to resent some documents. Ha, that makes me feel better! Haha. Good luck to those still waiting!

I just heard back online - after they said they had no decision on me as of yesterday, I see today that I was not offered a spot. I'm sad, sure, because I've never been rejected before ... but there is always next year. Good luck to those who are still waiting!

Last year my friend was told that GW, under no circumstances, funds MA students. I certainly do not know if this has held, but it was that way last year. I still haven't even finished my application for the MA due April 1, but knowing that about funding, I just don't think it's feasible.

I'm leaving in a few hours to fly to Atlanta just to drive my little sister home for her break (SCAD is on quarters so its like two weeks off) and for some odd reason the postal delivery person is on my street super early. I should get the mail before I leave for the airport. However, I won't be hearing from UMass as I spoke with them today and they reported that the decision has not yet been made for me. I don't care if I'm their last choice - I just want them to give me a chance!

Congrats on the admit! Did you hear online, as well?

I had the Temple department tell me they never received my GREs (which would have been fine as they were horrible and do not fit with the rest of my application). That was in mid-January, so I remember the feeling of terror you felt earlier. I'm going to call tomorrow and see what's up.

Did you call the department or the grad admissions office? I'm hesitant to call because I'm waiting on the MA program and it seems like no one has heard.

Just a friendly FYI ... as of about 14 seconds ago I am still listed as "applied" on the website. I really want to call but I'm pretty terrified.

I'm holding out for an acceptance to the MA program. I can't remember if you have already completed your Masters, but if not, hold on to hope with me!

If we're all MA applicants I say we should just be happy and wait. Not really, I'll keep being terrified and thinking I'll have to go to Florida Atlantic University, who isn't even approved by the AHA.

Hi all. Just wondering if anyone else is applying to Tufts. I applied for the MA and have heard nothing. Anyone else apply? If so, have you heard anything?

I hate to be the one who asks, but did anyone get waitlisted or not recieve an offer through the website? Someone (though it may have been Tufts) tell me that that non-acceptances will not be listed online.

Ahahaha. I'm at my internship and thankfully my boss just did this last year so she doesn't really care that I'm constantly checking for updates/reading the forums. I "know" I had three great letters for my MA, at least as much as one can know, but I think yours is the winner! I went to a liberal arts women's college in Atlanta, so they probably think I only took needle-point and place settings. Oh, and how to raise a southern family. Though, I'm from Palm Beach, FL so its not like any of that applies to me anyway. Okay, my form of stress-relief through this post is over now ... for now. Good luck!

My fingers are crossed for both of us, Joe! Mine still says "applied" as well. Intellectually I understand that hitting F5 every few minutes isn't going to make it magically accept me, but I'm still doing it. I hope you're able to at least wait somewhat peacefully!

I'm with you! Since we're both in Florida God only knows when/if we'll ever hear!

I second that emotion! I applied for the MA there. Are you guys MA or PhD?

I hope we get in together, because anyone who can make baseball references while talking about grad school apps is a friend of mine!

I'm waiting to hear for the MA. At one point, long ago, when I signed in to make sure all of my transcripts/letters were in, there was a random sentence that said it is about 6-10 weeks from the date you submit. I haven't heard from any of my schools, and I'm terrified.

I feel like this tells me my answer

I was told by the Department that MA decisions would be made and mailed out officially mid-March, so I guess I've still got some hope left. I really don't want to go to FAU!

I know, but I spoke to him and expressed my concern regarding a PhD application without an MA. He assured me that I would be equal consideration for the Masters program. I'm just worried that they didn't think I was ready for my PhD and then just rejected me without thinking about the MA. Ahh.

If I get my way I will be 24 for the fall 2010 start of my MA, and 26 for the start of my PhD.

This game is absolutely no fun. I just wish they knew they were my favorite!
