That sounds awesome! I've only ever been to Toronto (clearly not well traveled in Canada), but from what I've seen Saskatchewan's program looks great, especially based on what you said above. I'll definitely have to keep Canadian schools in mind for applications round 2. And congrats on your acceptance today!!! I hope you hear back soon, and good luck with all of them!!

This is great to know, thanks! To be honest from the way things are looking right now I feel like I'll be applying again, and I've always thought Canada looked awesome. Where do you think you'll end up, if you don't mind me asking?

Honestly, at this point I just want to hear back one way or the other. I had no clue I would be so tense about this!

Is it just me, or do weekends feel really bizarre when you're waiting for notice on this kind of thing? I can never seem to fully relax, even though I know it's out of my hands now.

While I agree with literally everything you said, this stood out to me because I refuse to check my personal statements/SOI out of fear that I will find this phrase everywhere.

Yeah, the Results page has tripped me up several times, so I normally double-check. That being said, somebody for one of the programs I've applied for did say they received a call this morning (I triple checked that it said the 24th, but maybe it was mistyped?). Ah well, I'm not placing my bets on hearing anything this weekend anyway. The waiting game is just so nerve-wracking! Thanks so much for the reply! And thanks, good luck to you, too!!
-
Hey everyone! I've seen some results going up - it looks like some people are hearing back from their schools on weekends? This is my first round of applications, so I had just kind of assumed emails/phone calls would only happen during business hours! Does anyone know otherwise? Thanks and good luck!

I'm applying to completely different programs but I've kind of tried to adopt the no hope method. That being said, that's kind of how I live my life in general - expect the worst, but hope for the best. I don't think it will get rid of the disappointment or sadness if things don't go the way we want, but it does kind of help me get through the day to day of waiting (except for the fact that it's still kind of unbearable). I can't really speak to your GPA, but I do wish you the best!! Good luck!
-
Same. I saw I had a missed call yesterday and the waves of nausea started, just for it to be a robo call. Oh man, girl scout cookies. I haven't bought a box, haven't seen anyone selling them! I've just been making a lotttt of boxed pudding.

Hey folks! Hope it's okay if I join this party. I applied to six programs (5 MFAs, one an MA/MS in book publishing) and have heard back from one so far (a yes from Emerson, thank you Boston). The stress is w i l d. I feel like I've grown attached to my phone and, specifically, my email. And my mailbox. I can't wait to just know.

Masters Applicants for Fall 2018!! Anybody out there?
hyrule replied to citrus00's topic in Waiting it Out
Are you applying to social work programs or psychology programs? I don't know much from the social work standpoint, but as a psychology major, I know one thing that was pounded into our heads was how important a good GPA was for our chances of getting into a grad school program. That said, a 3.313 is pretty great for your last 60 units, and that much experience for the field you're interested in would definitely tip the tables in your favor, in my mind. I obviously don't really know for sure, but I hope you find your place at one of those schools! It sounds like you want to do amazing things. Good luck!! -
