    I know, I talked to the graduate director Jamie Fader when I was at ASC in November and she said that if you didn't hear back you were waitlisted, she said that if you got in or got rejected you should've known on the 22nd. But clearly not all of us on the forum got waitlisted and I already know I got rejected because my GRE's weren't high enough and I what I want to study doesn't fit the program; however,  I would like that confirmation. I have been reading previous years forums and some people just never heard back from Temple at all which is really crappy because they should at least have the decency to say "Hey you were not qualified so we didn't accept you" instead of making us wait months and months to hear back. If they already made their final decisions in December why don't they reject us as well? It makes no sense to me to keep a bunch of people in limbo if half of us aren't even on the waitlist. 

    I don't even understand what is going on with Temple. I sent in my complete application on October 9. I can't even tell you if I am rejected or waitlisted or what. You said that we should hear back by Feb 22 or did you mean Dec or Jan 22.

    I am now only officially waiting on one school, thank you Penn State for sending me a formal rejection instead of this “you’re just never going to hear from us again” b.s. You know I am really not that upset about this, it was a long shot, congrats if anyone else got in!

    Have you heard back from Temple? Still waiting on them.

    Thank you! And congrats on your acceptance at IUP! Hopefully, there is going to be good funding. I didn't know they had online Ph.D. programs! That seems like it would be hard. I looked into UMASS Lowell but I am trying to coordinate schools with my SO, so it makes it difficult to find places that both align with what we want. American is a great school! And it's in DC which makes it even better :) 

    Thanks so much! DC would be amazing and so would UMASS! We shall see though.

    Yeah, I feel the same way that I am definitely going to be rejected. I only applied to four schools Northeastern: rejected from the Ph.D. accepted into the masters with a scholarship; Penn State: still waiting; University of Iowa: accepted with a $20,000 stipend and full funding for five years (Sociology concentrated on crim). 

    Congrats on the acceptance! Yay! At least you got one with funding! I applied to Temple, UMASS Lowell, IUP, GMU, GSU, American, and UPENN. I got into IUP with funding to be announced in March. Got rejected at GMU.

    Do you think you have a chance at getting in? It seems like there's a lot of people on this feed that seem more than qualified but didn't hear anything in December. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

    I mean I might have a shot. But truly, I don't know because you don't know what they are looking for and which applications they are tossing. Right now, my gut is telling me that I will be rejected. What about you? Where did you apply?

    Either we are all waiting for rejections letters to come mid-February... sigh... or they don't have their sh*t together. I'm shocked that a couple was accepted in December but then they don't notify anybody else of anything for two whole months it's a little aggravating.

    It is very aggravating, frankly annoying, and inconsiderate on their behalf.

    Need advice! I'm visiting a school in late February, but got asked to interview at another one on the day I would fly back home. They offered to do a skype interview, which I will probably end up asking for. However, should I include in the email that the reason I'm asking for a skype interview is that I would be just coming back from another school, or should I just keep it vague and say I'll be out of town?

    Don't tell them anything. Do the Skype interview and have it set up. They are aware that you could have scheduling conflicts. If they ask during the Skype interview you can tell them then. It is also a good way to see how they react when they hear it the first time if they ask via video. 

  8. I just made some calls. UPenn said they are trying to have decisions in by the end of January. GA State, UMass Lowell, and American should have decisions by the middle of February. 

    Here is where I applied and my decisions so far. 

    Applying: Temple, UMass Lowell, IUP, George Mason, GA State, American, UPenn

    Accepted Waitlisted Rejected Attending
