    @Marie764 I'm sure Augustana accepted plenty of people who were not from underserved communities because it is incredibly difficult to do this application process if you are from those areas. If this person was rejected, it is not because they were not from the areas that Augustan has decided to give a chance. It's because their scores, GPA, personal statements, and experience did not match up to others from advantaged communities. The same reason we all get rejected. That's only a small part of someone's rejection, it is not the reason they were rejected. But like I said already, if I totally misunderstood, I don't want to make this day worse for someone than it already is. I just think it's worth pointing out, if someone is wallowing thinking they were not accepted because they have money.

    I hope they weren't. I don't see any other reason for posting it on the results page. That note section is to give more information about the rejection or about the interview to others who are posting. But perhaps I jumped the gun. If they were trying to make an excuse for the rejection, I think that's inappropriate. Otherwise, it always sucks to be rejected and I would hate to have made their day worse by calling out something that was totally unintentional.

    To the person rejected from Augustana on the results page with the quote: "we gave preference to applicants from areas of the country (USA) which are underserved or have workforce needs" but did not provide their GRE and GPA... Please don't blame your problems on underserved communities and not take any responsibility for yourself. Get feedback in May. I'm sure you're grieving and you need someone to blame, and that's totally okay but not in this way. That quote was highly inappropriate.

    @laura moreno I'm pretty sure it's Rachel Gannaway. But I haven't reached out to them to ask about a decision yet.

    Honestly, I think you would have gotten interviews last year or the year before that. Seems like miserable timing for your average GC applicant. Anyway, looking at the results page, there are people getting interviews with 3.2s, but they have a balance of a super perfect GRE score. Just something I noticed. I don't actually have any real insight besides that result page and previous forums. So ask for feedback in May. But consider that retaking the GRE is going to be a lot cheaper than retaking a class.

    I'm sure they'll work with you! And if they don't work with you, then you don't want them anyway. That's really crappy luck, try not to stress about it until they get back to you.

    Where my University of Michigan rejects at? lol Did they tell everyone that "the committee really enjoyed reading your application" or was that just me? Because that was a nice gesture.

    You're so kind

    @KaryoKid and @Rosie414 I know this means I'm probably still in the denial phase, but did either of you apply for Dual Degree program for Pitt?

    I've read several places based on graduate admission statistics that applying to 4-6 schools is the best shot for a qualified candidate. Any thing lower, and you might miss out, anything higher doesn't significantly increase any one's chances. That being said, I am learning now that genetic counseling may be different because of how few programs there are available. I applied to 4, money and work schedule.

    I think you're too worried. You got the interview. You don't need to prove yourself on your application anymore. It's like a clean slate. From this point forward, schools will choose on personalities best suited for their program, and who can present themselves as qualified. I mean I have never interviewed someone applying to a school program, but I have interviewed several people for jobs. Sometimes the best application, is just not a good fit for the office environment after the interview. Then, sometimes, you realize that someone lied on their application during the interview. You are good enough. Now you just have to show them that you'll fit in and you're equipped to be their student. Congratulations though! You are an equal with everyone else who has an interview, don't forget.

    I think your GPA is real good for being a 4 year varsity athlete. But my opinion definitely doesn't matter here. I hope that universities understand the pressure for athletes. Just thought I would do some boosting of spirits.

    I have to say this all the time! And "people get rejected who already have PhDs and Masters in related fields with relevant work experience, publications and volunteer work."

    Omg! Took my GRE 3 years ago, and just started applying to schools this year. Did not apply to Harvard. Hardvard X is definitely also in my inbox now that I'm waiting for answers from my applications. It's the google/facebook/apple world we live in. I'm convinced now that Harvard X has targeted people applying to graduate schools. While it's not a sign from Harvard University directed at you, I also took it as a sign from a higher power. LOL

    Yeah, real worried. I honestly have decided to put it out of my mind because there is no guarantee that I will get any interviews yet. But I never informed my company that I was applying to graduate school this year. I don't think they would be too thrilled about me leaving. Our company policy is two-week notice for vacation days, granted they are flexible if you have a good excuse. But they may get suspicious if I have to do this more than once.

    Bureau of Labor Statistics suggests that genetic counseling jobs will grow by 28% through 2026. The average growth rate for all occupations is 7 percent. https://www.bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/genetic-counselors.htm#tab-1 That seems hopeful to me. Good luck everyone. It's worth it.

    Most relatable feeling. I like seeing all of your mini heart attacks and fainting spells on here. It cheers me up! lol Nothing from UMichigan yet on the results page or from me. But I'm secretly thankful. Finally worked out all of my transcript mishaps with Michigan yesterday. Though, I am sure by all the mistakes I made with transcripts, the gods were trying to tell me that it isn't in the cards. Haven't seen Florida on the results page either. So schools really give interview notifications one week to 10 days before the interview? How on earth are people supposed to be expected to afford last minute flights like that?

    I saw someone ask about this earlier. Who else is applying to the VCU dual degree program?

    Ice Breaker: Vanessa Carlton - A Thousand Miles with the dance moves from White Chicks. Only because it's super clean, everyone knows it, and I do a mean Vanessa Carlton impression. Analytical reasoning question: I know the answer. Don't google it. I'll answer it tomorrow.

    This waiting process is not for me. lol! This is probably inappropriate for this professional chat, but I'll give it a try anyway since most deadlines are almost over... Ice breaker question: If you had to sing a song for Karaoke as part of your personal statement, what song would you pick and why? Analytical reasoning question: Buses 1, 2, and 3 make one trip each day, and they are the only ones that riders A, B, C, D, E, F, and G take to work. Neither E nor G takes bus 1 on a day when B does. G does not take bus 2 on a day when D does. When A and F take the same bus, it is always bus 3. C always takes bus 3. Traveling together to work, B, C, and G could take which of the same buses on a given day? (A) 1 only (B) 2 only (C) 3 only (D) 2 and 3 only (E) 1, 2, and 3

    I submitted my application on December 15th, which is the same day I ordered the e transcript. But I would have to agree with @LM1994 the copy we had to upload on the application itself should be good enough for them to review it? I'm just angsty about all the details.
  23. NewAtThis
    oh wow, so that means it probably got sent to wrong address or something. I really appreciate you telling me! I think I will take your advice and send a new one. It is not free. But it 's only $2. @hfj23
  24. NewAtThis
    Sorry, I'm just clarifying. Your UM friend account said it was received two days ago? or your e-transcript exchange says that they received it? They definitely go in order of when they received it. When I called last month, they said they were working on transcripts received on Dec 13th and would be onto December 15th on a later date...etc.
  25. NewAtThis
    I mailed in a transcript to Michigan back in November. Then panicked about it going to the wrong school, so I sent an e-transcript on December 15th. I received confirmation from the e-transcript delivery service that the transcript was retrieved on December 21. But my UM friend account still shows that they haven't received my transcript. I called and they said they were backlogged. But that's pretty far backlogged... I just get worried that I sent it to the wrong email address or something. Did anyone send in a transcript later and have confirmation that UM received it? I swear, if I have to do this again, I will send in my transcripts in September. New Years resolution.
