quoting some note in the results page: "cuny sucks dick for coke anyway".

My deadline was on jan 1st!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wanna die. Or kill them. Or hurt them. O something that includes some kind of violence.

Cuny grad center, a mess. I called them yesterday, and they said I'm waitlisted. Nothing else. "just wait until end of april". I'm freaking out, afraid of losing the only acceptance I got so far.

I'm still waiting for one program. I do not even know if I'm waitlisted. I have called a few weeks ago and they said: "You are not accepted, not rejected, you are pending". I'm calling tomorrow, I want to know the truth, and that's it.

Thanks everyone! You all were a big help! I feel relieved and a little more hopeful. This has turned into a therapy group...

I have applied for the PhD program in Biology at CUNY, Graduate Center. My deadline was on Jan 1st. I emailed them on mid Feb to ask about notification timelines. On Feb 15 I received a reply saying that "a final decision have not been made regarding your application and that "notifications will be sent (via mail) between two or three months after deadline". And that is all the communication I've got, so far. Do you guys think I could have a chance? Does anybody ever got an acceptance without being interviewed? The "international student" factor affects the interview thing? Any CUNY insight would be really appreciated. If not CUNY, any word at all, I'm kinda desperate. Thank you guys, and the best of luck!

Have plenty of time to start pole-dance classes, sell my car, get a boobjob and start being a *bilingual* stripper in my country. I'll finally have the money to take my boyfriend out to dinner and say: "its on me darling".

Mine says: Status: Complete At department: Yes But I have been rejected more than three weeks ago (for E3B PhD, deadline in Jan 2).

looking at your stats, we're on the same boat. at least you have A DAY that you'll be sure you'll get the news. that's not my case. I'm dying here. but, I'd rather wait two more months, as long as I get accepted somewhere. big hug.

Hey! I'm with ya fellow. I have applied to Columbia, CUNY, Washington University (WUSTL) and RGGS-AMNH. Just heard from Columbia, a nice kick in the butt. Hang in there!

I hate all the stupid people who sent me emails today. all of them. that's all I'm gonna say.

friday night, 9pm. rejection. best weekend EVER.

The only notification I got so far was a rejection from Columbia. I knew it was going to be *almost impossible* to get in, I hated. I woke up saturday morning, with the sensation there was something in my inbox. there it was. they offered me to consider me for a masters, but no funding. I cried two hours after, and spend the whole day staring at nothing. my bf was there with me, but I've been driving him nuts since toefl and gre (started with the madness on july 2009). I just want to get into my favourite program, and stop refreshing my inbox for some good news. Good luck for everyone, and we are going to be ok!

I got one rejection (i don't wanna say my first) a week ago. This post makes me feel everything is gonna be fine anyway. Thanks for writing, for sharing. Good luck with your new life.

I missed that. I can't believe it, I'm there all the time.

Look up in the webpage, and look for the tab "search results". have a blast.

haha, this topic is great. I love the way this page has turned out to be the place where we end up expressing all our frustrations and anxiety feelings (in order to keep them away from our families, friends, SOs, etc). I have a friend who is not even interested in grad school, but reads the results page with me, just to see the rejection notes. I guess one of my favourites was: "yea, you suck too"

I wonder if one call might change their decision (in a bad way...)

Thanks for this post, I'm not alone in the world. Still waiting for that line to change.

Hi guys, I´m an international student, in the desperate waiting line...!
