Try to stay busy! Hang out with friends, do things active if possible. When you're running around (literally), your brain doesn't have a chance to think about other things

Eek! So they are sticking with the first Friday. I wasn't expecting it so early, which I guess is good since I only have two days to worry! Good luck everyone!!!

I'm nervous because I'm not sure what date the decisions will be made. Looking at last year's forum it looks like the past 4 years decisions came out the first Friday of March, but the previous 4 years they came out on Tuesday. So I'm wondering if they will come out on a completely different day or maybe back to Tuesday?

I received two emails from the HGSE Financial Aid office; one with a portal login name and one with an access code. I applied for PSP but assume this is the same process for all masters applicants.

Thanks Vulpix! Your posts have been extremely helpful!

Hi everyone, First time poster here. I'm applying to the Prevention Science and Practice (Practice Strand) Program and am wondering what you think of my chances. A little background - I'm a professional athlete and have been playing for about 10 years (I'm 27). I finished my undergrad online while I was playing. I have worked with several non-profits over my career, however significantly in education, during a year where I was injured and couldn't play, I worked for a few months as a substitute teacher and volunteered at a non-profit that provides sports clinics for children with autism. I also started one of their programs in my hometown. I would really like to go into non-profit and/or consultancy - working with child and adolescent athletes. I only took the GRE once, I had intended to take it without studying to get a baseline and then study for it, but then I went back to playing after my injury healed quicker than anticipated. I won't take it again at least for this application. I am concerned how my non-traditional educational background and my pretty average GRE scores will affect my application. Is anyone else applying to this program or have been admitted and can give their thoughts? Thanks in advance!
