I was offered a spot in their master's program this round and ultimately decided with another offer. They gave me a large scholarship- but like you said, in the context of private tuition, that means something different. I spoke with many master's and Ph.D. students, and they all said they all had to take out loans. Originally I was attracted by the offer to petition into the Ph.D. program after a year, but upon hearing I would not have full funding even as a doctoral student, I decided to let the offer go. Hope that helps!

Congrats on having made a decision! Would you mind telling me how Clemson let you know? Thanks

Congrats on everyone's acceptances!

Has anyone asked about a waiting list at Clemson?

Me too! I feel so strange calling. I figured the rejections would be on their way by now, but I'm still waiting on 4 schools!

Right, I'm definitely waiting on the other programs. The director said more than 75% of petitioners move onto the Ph.D. program and today offered me a scholarship. Hmm we will see!

Update to my last post, I received an email from the Florida Institute of Technology that I was accepted to the Master's I/O program (I applied Ph.D.) Does anyone have thoughts about this/Anyone considering this offer? Congratulations to everyone who committed this week!!

Update for anyone else who is still waiting to hear from FIT: My "check status" page was updated to "Contact the admissions office." When I called, they said my application is with the department, and they should reach a decision within the next three weeks. Since some of y'all have gotten accepted already, (Congratulations!) I guess they might be working their way down the list?

I also just (8pm my time!) got an email from Florida Tech that said "Welcome to the Florida Institute of Technology" asking me to set up an email account? Did anyone get this, accepted or rejected? I hadn't heard from them until whatever this is...

If anybody also applied to Master's programs, the University of West Florida updated my application status from Applied to Offered this afternoon. The admission package should be on its way via snail mail. It is not as anxiety-relieving as I had hoped, but it is nice to have Plan B in order

Last year's results from Clemson have 2 or 3 positive communications in late January/early February but then nothing else until late March, and they're all rejections! Definitely interested in what is going on over there as well

Congratulations! That is such a cool program!!

I was rejected from NCSU a few weeks ago, so at least you've made it past some rounds there Hope that's somewhat encouraging! I'm playing the waiting game, as well....

APA has a great book that delineates what each school ranks most important in the context of GPA, letters of rec, etc. Personally, my statistical and computer skills far exceed my GRE quant score, and I have more years of teaching experience than I have research experience. So I hedged my bets, applying to schools that valued my strengths, not necessarily the "Top 5 I/O schools," because that wouldn't be my smartest strategy; does that kinda make sense? I also made spreadsheets upon spreadsheets of POIs, average GRE scores, etc. Also, my most helpful tip I think is to take ALL of your options into consideration. I literally researched every single program on the SIOP website. Every school deserved a fair shot in my opinion, because all I really have to go on are the [often outdated] websites. I went from a shortlist of 53 to a final list of 8 Ph.D. I/O programs, 1 Ph.D. Management program, and 2 M.S. I/O programs. I've hardly gotten decisions back yet, and this might be overkill for someone with perfect scores and insider info, but I hope this is helpful nonetheless

oh, okay! Thank you
