Hey, I got my acceptance from them on January 8th, but I have no idea if they send them all out at once or do it in waves like I've heard some programs do. Sorry ? I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

Ugh, it's the WORST when the department sends something that isn't an actual acceptance or rejection but you totally think it is so there is that moment of panic, all for nothing... I've gotten a couple emails that are just generic "We will begin reviewing your application now! Thanks!" and I'm like PLEASE DON'T CONTACT ME UNTIL YOU HAVE SOMETHING REAL TO SAY, GUYS. I've definitely developed horrible stomach issues and insomnia in the last month going through all this! I am not a single parent but understand why you would be concerned about that. Did you mention your circumstances in your SoP? If so, they have to kind of understand what that entails if they accept you. I think it would be super helpful if you got placed with an advisor who is a parent! Not like that's really something you can request. (Or is it?)

I'm a total basket case! I check my email at LEAST once every 5 minutes. And this whole process is all I talk about to anyone who will listen. As I previously mentioned, I've been accepted to a few places already (which I am very surprised by and thankful for) but it hasn't alleviated my stress/anxiety levels like I hoped it would.

Hi all! I decided to finally go ahead and make an account, since I've basically been living on this website for the last month. Figured I would chime in here! I applied to 7 different programs, and so far have heard back from and been accepted to 3: Temple, Albany, and George Mason. Still waiting to hear back from Maryland, Cincinnati, Rutgers, and ASU. saltyseathings, will you be attending Albany's Visiting Weekend?
