    taharah got a reaction from Dwar in Post here to get your worries off your chest   
    Excitement: I am accepted to a good PhD program with full funding.
    Worry: I am heart-set on attending a particular school. It's been nearly 2 months since my interview there and I have heard nothing!

    It's hard to make decisions without all the offers on the table ?

    I'm currently waiting to hear back from Teachers College, Columbia University in regards to their EdM Psychological Counseling program (and this is the very last school I'm waiting to hear back from). I emailed them a few days ago and told me that students should hear back by around the end of March at the latest. I really want to make my decision pretty soon before April 15th.

    I feel this so, so much. I'm in grad school purgatory over here with no news from my top choice, but also no rejection. Just reject me already so I can accept my 2nd choice offer.

    I have no information for you but I relate to this so much. Why won't my program just reject me already??? Then I can at least move on with my life

    Time to accept you're rejected.  But if you're truly concerned, feel free to email the department.  But you have a 98% (guessed) chance of rejection.  Apply to jobs.

    taharah reacted to blahblah_girl in What were you doing when you received your acceptance?   
    I got just done with my classes that day and was walking with my classmates towards the bus stop to get home. We chatted about the status of my grad school apps and I told them that I am still waiting to get rejected from one of my top schools (I misspelled the name of that school in my sop, so I was 100% sure I would get rejected...in my defense, I thought it was spelled that way for at least the last 6 years). When I got to the bus stop, however, I saw an email from that school asking me to log into the portal to see the decision! I prepared myself emotionally to get a rejection, but to my huge surprise, it was an acceptance letter!!!

    You are 100% wrong with this assumption.  I'd argue that over 70% of applicants are still undergraduates.  In fact, it is common place for people to apply to graduate schools within their first semester of their final year in UG.  Additionally, the further away from UG you get, the more focused on your career your application becomes, instead of your UG work. 
     
    There's no way for us to know what could of been the deciding factor, but it definitely isn't the fact that you're still an undergrad.  Try emailing or calling the program to get more information from them, in hopes of better understanding what you need to do to improve on your application, next cycle.

    Ouch
    University Of Toledo Geography, Spatially Integrated Social Science, PhD (F19) Accepted via Phone on 6 Mar 2019 A 6 Mar 2019 report spam Recieved letter of acceptance. Then recieved a phone call from one of the professors there asking if I would come without funding. After I said no, he proceeds to tell me he read one of my four published articles and literally starts critiquing it and telling me the results dont mean anything and how I am not going to get an assistantship. Totally unprofessional. sh** School, sh** program.

    taharah got a reaction from brightorangesocks in When is it okay to inquire about the application status.   
    I haven't heard anything from my top choice and I'm afraid I've been waitlisted. Is it still too early to email and ask? 
     
    My interview was a month ago and they wrapped up the last interviews two weeks ago. I know it's still February but i had the understanding that acceptances would have gone out by now.
    Is there a correct way to ask?

    If it's relevant to your research and could help in your career, I would include it. Make a section for it, like "Non-academic awards and honors". No harm in including them if they are relevant to your field of study in some way.
