  1. Hi guys, I'm going to be going to LSE in fall for my PhD in Media and Communications. I was hoping to meet some folks going to LSE too! Everyone's welcome , even if you're not enrolling in the Media and Communications department.
  2. Oh, that makes me feel immensely better! Thank you I really hope I get in...
  3. Ah.... I see...I guess I should've done my research and applied to some more colleges because I didn't realize it would be this hard...I've applied to only super-competitive and hard colleges this time around... and been waitlisted at two places, so it has been stressful. I should've applied to a less competitive place too. I thought Utrecht was the safe choice. Ahaha.....
  4. Thank you for your comment! It did make me feel better and helped me understand the process in NL. I am just really stressed out right now. Hopefully they do let me know by May end! BTW what do you think about the acceptance rates at Utrecht University for an international student at master's level? I haven't been able to find official data on it so am a bit worried. Utrecht is one of my top choices and I would really like to get in XD
  5. I have been waitlisted at one of my top choice college, and then another program I applied to. The whole process has been so disheartening that I've been compelled to write this. The application process is so long and grueling , but after giving it all you can, you expect , if not a speedy, then a reasonably timed decision being sent to you. But gosh, the delay of results and having been told you're waitlisted with NO update at all on your rank/position in the waiting list and if other candidates who were on the list have begun receiving acceptance letters is so grueling. I had also applied to Utrecht University for a master's program and expected results soon, but not only have they been horrendously delayed but all of my emails were also ignored. Weeks and weeks of emailing them and waiting for a response was pure agony. Last week, I finally got an email. And then another, and then another. Each asking me to contact someone else, and when I did contact the someone else, they asked me again to contact someone else—which I did. And finally, finally, it seemed like I had reached the end of the tunnel, and was close enough to see the light because I was told I will be given my results by the end of the week! I was so relieved. Finally. Only to be not given my results. And upon inquiring, I was greeted with an automated email saying it was a national holiday until next week. I was so confused. How can a university staff member let you know you'll have your results by the end of the week and forget that the end of the week is filled with national holidays. I was very hurt and disheartened. But I tried to hold onto the last shreds of my sanity and called them today, to be told....I will receive my results by the end of the month and they don't understand the email I was sent that I will get my results soon.. Um..... How can I explain something I received from your university? I am so frustrated, hurt and filled with anxiety. I just wish these universities and programs realized how much toll it takes on candidates to sit and wait for results. Even a small update means so much. Even if it is not an individualized personalized update, they can surely update on their university website as to how many candidates have applied and they shall get back to people by so-and-so date. I also wish the waiting list thing was more transparent and the candidates knew exactly where they stood. This affects our mental health and life deeply as we base our decisions on it. Right now, my life is on pause because I don't know if I will get into any/a school. I cannot join a company temporarily, and I cannot move to another country for a job that I may have to leave but won't be able to do so on time. I really hope someone reads this and understands and makes sure applicants' needs are met. Feelings of powerlessness and helplessness only further aggravate anxiety and stress.
  6. Waitlisted for CEU Master's in gender studies. They asked me to wait till May 30th. The wait is stressful and killing me. I had applied for a scholarship as an international student...But at this point, I'm hoping that they could offer me a place even if it's without scholarship. I am just so heartbroken and "going stir crazy" XD. Just hoping I get in Jeezus. I hope it doesn't sound too dramatic if I say I'm close to dEath XD . This is sooo stressfullll.
  7. @MLunareally sorry to hear that :"( we're in the same boat....This really sucks...I wish they at least told us what number we are on the waiting list and how many people they are so we can prepare accordingly...This is so nerve wrecking...I didn't know that waitlisted students were normally told within a month.. :"( how do you know this?
  8. Hi I applied for the GEMMA program ! Still waiting to hear the results of the first round. Fingers crossed xx
  9. Hi guys, has anyone else applied to the Gemma women's and gender studies master's course? I noticed there's literally no discussions on the same in grad cafe and got curious. I was told that the results will be out in 2 weeks for the first round! F
  10. Hi guys, I'm a non-European , who was put on the gender studies master's waiting list at CEU. They asked me to wait till May 30th for an offer. Feeling extremely nervous as one month has gone by and only one month remains. Has anybody else been put on the waiting list and been accepted (maybe for this same course/maybe some other)? Also, is anybody else on the waiting list for this course? Hoping for some replies to soothe this gut-wrenching anxiety !
