  1. Not a bad idea! Next week is the final week for decisions. All programs have to hear back from the people they gave an offer to by the 15th or else they'll rescind that offer and start pulling people from the waitlist. Most candidates - myself included - have held onto offers until the last second, and everyone is going to relinquish them all this week since it's the final week to do so.
  2. So I've received contact from all of the graduate programs I applied to. I'm at the weird point where now I have to wait for everyone else to make their decisions before anything changes on my end. If any of y'all have offers from any of the programs I'm waitlisted at (found below), and you genuinely don't want to attend, I beg you to drop them!

  3. This is definitely going to be the longest week of this cycle lol. Waiting to hear back from a program where you just attended Open House is stressful ?
  4. So I just got my first rejection from the University of Houston. Can't say I fit their typical admit in terms of GPA/GRE, so I'm not too surprised. Congrats to everyone who did get in though!
  5. Returned from Auburn last night - it was an absolute blast! Their program really is fantastic, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed they decide to give me an offer.
  6. Also - I spoke with Dr. Sinclair from Clemson. They've made an initial round of offers, but expect at least one or two people to drop, meaning a few more offers might be given out. They plan on having the cohorts for both the Masters and Doctoral programs sorted out by the end of March.
  7. Do you guys think a rocky phone call with your POI can seriously damage your standing within a short list? I hit it off really well with my POI at Auburn during my initial interview, and got invited to open house weekend less than a day later. However, I spoke with them on the phone last week about research (pretty general questions/conversation topics) and I felt like it was a pretty rocky conversation from start to finish (i.e., stutters, accidental interruptions, slip ups [on both ends], etc.). I travel there tomorrow, so that conversation is weighing pretty heavily on my mind - especially since my POI won't be there for Open House Weekend. Just wanted to know what y'all thought.

  8. A wise man once taught me that it's okay to not be someone's first choice. You'll know the right place when the time comes to decide. Applied: Bowling Green, CSU, LSU, Clemson, UCF, Houston, UGA, Auburn, Florida Tech Accepted Waitlisted Rejected Open House
  9. I got that email on the 17th of January, but I haven't gotten it since then. I remember seeing that someone got accepted in late January though, so I'm not sure what that means for all of us still waiting.
  10. Got short-list waitlisted at my number one choice today (BGSU)! Feeling pretty good - although now I have to hope the people who have received offers already don't take them. Has anyone heard from USF by chance?
  11. Just finished my interview with Florida Tech - pray for me everyone. Lord knows my sanity needs an official acceptance at this point ?
  12. Found out today I was waitlisted at UCF - I figured as much. I also figured I'd have a harder time getting in because I'm an undergraduate here and I feel like universities always desire a diverse cohort. I'm considering applying to one or two masters programs as backups in case I don't get any offers. I actually do feel pretty confident about two universities I've applied to (Auburn & FIT), so there is that. Congratulations to everyone accepted so far by the way. It's a major accomplishment and you all should be proud of yourselves!
