    What is next week? Also still waiting on 2 schools and thinking about calling them Monday. Thoughts?

    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! 

    Applied: Bowling Green CSU LSU Clemson UCF Houston UGA Auburn Florida Tech 
    Accepted Waitlisted Rejected 

  3. 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.

    I know it's probably not a good idea but I feel much more attached to a program that accepted me right away compared to ones that I got off a waitlist. It's not rational but it feels good to a program firsts choice compared to a 9th choice. 

    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.

    Did anyone else get a weird email from Clemson saying their application is being considered? It's just an email with "helpful links" but its the second time I've gotten it. First time  was Jan 3rd...

    Hopefully it's a sign that I'm still possibly considered? lol...

    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. 

  6. 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!
