Neurophilic

Mine was Feb 12. I have been refreshing my email furiously since haha

Thats why I want it--it'd be so good for applying next round and will sit so beautifully on my CV with the declined in italics 

Current mood, I'd be so happy to get CGS even though I got declined by all 3 and it'd be totally useless at this point LOL

I was waitlisted last year for 2 schools and was not notified. I found out by contacting the program coordinator. 

???? fact. 

Kind of shocking though, no? Like how come my accuracy with calculating the volume of a cylinder counts but not my ability to write or think critically? Lmao... because in practice I'll definitely be assessing my patients with protractors and not critical thinking skills

I relate lmao, also got the same rejection letter early January (twice!!! because I clearly didn't get it the first time). Apparently, the grad committee screens out a bunch of applicants and then only directs successful candidates to the PIs. Hearsay, but makes sense. For instance, I heard they're super strict about the GRE and will scan applicants out off the bat - even their website says 80th percentile or above so rip to me

I had an interview with my dream school and POI Feb 1.. She said she submitted my name for acceptance but ultimately I need to get through ad comm.. She emphasized how competitive selection was, how the decision is now out of her control and said *FINGERS CROSSED*.
ughh... why does this process seem like it's pure luck sometimes?

I currently have classes with students who are 50+ and just starting their MA/PhD. I applied 3 times over a span of 15 years and will be in my early 40s when I finish my PhD. There's definitely no age limit! It might feel like this is the best (or only) path right now but you can fill your life with amazing experiences that will alleviate the pressure you feel right now. I absolutely felt the same way when I first applied. 

I now look back on my first application materials and I would not have admitted me  

There is always time and there is always hope. Just keep moving forward! 

A lot of grad students I met at the open house didn't hear until March - hang in there!!! They rank applicants and honestly, just because you're on a waitlist doesn't mean it's game over. The system sucks, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel!!! Things will work out!

Oh yes, it’s been constant entertainment throughout the day. I’ve come to the conclusion that people have completely lost their marbles on here. Like, I know this process blows, but holy crap do some people need therapy before even starting grad school. 

Anyone heard from their Ryerson POIs after the open house?
