    Hi everyone! I wish I had found this forum a little earlier in the process! Has anyone heard from George Mason's Ph.D. program? I tried reaching out but had no success and I'm anxious to make my final decision....

     

    I haven't heard back yet, but I  thought I saw people posting results on gradcafe results page. I could be wrong though . . .

    Accepted to LSU, Virginia Tech, and UNO but was shortlisted for GMU. Still waiting for the word from CUNY after the interview day. 

    I'm carefully considering each program as I want to make the best choice. Trying to decide by mid March.

    I received admission from LSU a few weeks ago so they probably did contact those who were waitlisted already. 

    Congratulations! Did GMU email you? 

    CUNY already sent out emails for Visitation Day.

    Hello! Congratulations to all who have received acceptances. If anyone has updates regarding the University of Connecticut, Louisiana State University, and/or Clemson University, I would really appreciate a reply. Is it unheard of to be accepted or waitlisted this late in the application process if the school has not been in contact with you at all?

    I haven't heard anything back from University of Connecticut. It's definitely not unheard of to be accepted/waitlisted this late because students who have been accepted might later on reject their offers and go somewhere else.

    Same here! Just got an offer from Florida Tech, now waiting for the funding details if any...

    I haven't heard anything back from BGSU, CUNY, GMU, Rice, UMinnesota and Florida International, should I email them to check on the status of my application or should I just assume rejection ? 

    Congratulations on your offer to Florida Tech!

    BGSU has their visitation day this weekend and sent out invites, CUNY (I assume you're talking about Baruch?) is sending out emails for interviews, and I haven't heard anything back yet from George Mason either, but it's not a bad idea to reach out.

    Has anyone heard anything from Hofstra's MA program? They told me they would be getting back to people as in late December/early January, but I haven't seen any updates.

    I have a friend who applied and she received an invitation for an interview recently, so I think you and others should be hearing back either last week, this week, and next week :)

    Hi Everyone! New here and this is my first time posting on the thread.

    I was wondering what you all think about the "virtual visit days" coming up and if anyone knows what to expect. I have been invited to a virtual visit day in Feb. and this is my first application cycle, so I'm not entirely sure what a visit day, or virtual visit day, will consist of. My program also hasn't specified the timing, only the date, is it usually an all-day event? And if so, do you think it will be an all-day event considering the new virtual format? Thanks!

    Congratulations!

    Normally the visit day is for you to get to know the school and program much better, and for professors and grad students to get to know you.

    You will be told information about the classes required for the program, graduation requirements, funding, housing. You will get the chance to talk to the grad students and ask them questions.

    Then usually you will have one on one or group discussions with the professors. They will ask you about your research and you can ask them any questions you want. It's best to do thorough research on the professors' research and CV. 

    And, I almost forgot, in the in-person ones, you would normally be given a tour of the campus. Don't think that will happen during the virtual visitation day :)

    Hello! I’m so excited to have stumbled upon the site! As an applicant, I must say, this is an exciting forum to participate in. I wish you all the best of luck and may the admissions committees bless you all with the decisions you wish to hear!

     

    To give you all some background about me, this is the first graduate school admissions cycle that I have been a part of and I applied to four I/O programs: Baruch College CUNY, George Mason University, North Carolina State University, and Rice University. I’ve been involved in research for almost three years in a Personality lab where I’ve had the privilege of working on four research projects, including an honors thesis.

    Welcome!
    I saw that you were accepted into North Carolina State University - do you mind letting me know when they contacted your for an interview and what your P.I's initials are?

    I don't think that schools are necessarily taking longer. I can't speak to MS programs, but it is still incredibly early for PhD programs. I imagine that there is an influx of MS/PHD applicants across the board, so programs are probably going to take a bit longer than usual, not to mention COVID restrictions. That being said, we just got off of winter break. I imagine that most schools will reach some decisions through the month of Jan/Feb. 

    I would interpret not hearing back from schools yet as a good thing, since that means you weren't automatically rejected. I know that most of my schools that I applied for have just started looking at applications this week. I have only heard back from one school so far, and that was way ahead of schedule compared to previous years. 

    So, yeah, I do think that things could take a bit longer if schools aren't using the GRE as a cut-off. I do not think we are near that point now, though. I would give it some more time since a large amount of deadlines were on Dec 1st, and that is also around the time fall semester is ending and the holiday break is coming up. The ADCOM and other faculty were probably looking forward to a much needed holiday break before they looked at applications.

     

    You're right, it is still too early to hear back from anything. My nerves are just stressing me out lol.

    Bumping this thread... has anyone else heard back from programs about interviews? Wondering when Dec. 1 programs will start contacting people. 

    Hope everyone is staying safe over the holidays ?

    Do you think schools are taking longer since most programs waived the GRE? That's the only explanation I can come up with. 

    I heard from 2 programs that they have to re-arrange their "formula" for accepting students since they aren't taking into account the GRE.
