Waitlisted at Indiana University. Graduate coordinator emailed me back.

I called the dept. secretary yesterday and she told me to contact the graduate coordinator, who hasn't gotten back to me yet.

Yup. I know. Things don't make sense at all. But, I can only share what I know based on my interactions with the department...Last time I applied to Austin, I got my waitlist response on 2/25. So things could be moving more slowly this year for unknown reasons.

I just called Austin and they "haven't sent out official responses". Has anyone heard anything from Indiana? They were the slowest to respond my last go around, but it would still be nice to know.

To tack on a few more: 3) Ask about the format of their qualifying exams. At this point, you know how well you handle testing, so go to a school that fits well with how you test 4) Inquire about their placement record for former students if you're interested in a career in academia. Do their graduates get tenure track jobs? 1 year appointments?

I spoke with U. Texas today and they said they were trying to have results out by the end of this week.

My application still says it's under review. Then again, they didn't email me that it had been forwarded to the department until 1/28, so I'm kind of confused as to what's going on. Also, anyone is anyone who has been accepted to U Texas interested in turning down their spot?

Texas. Sorry, I'm from Texas, so there's only one UT in my mind. I'll be more specific in the future. Also, not all universities are taking today as a holiday, so there's still a chance that information will go out today.

There seems to be a legit UT acceptance. Congrats to whoever it is! Has anyone else heard anything?

Hmm...there's another acceptance for UCSB. Anyone care to claim it/has anyone else been contacted?

Hi! my fellow anxiety ridden applicants. I'm mostly applying to Religious studies programs, but I'm waiting to hear back for the George Washington American Studies program, and am on the waitlist for Am. Stud. at UT Austin. Waiting is the worst. Congrats to those of y'all who have gotten acceptances!

Via email? I haven't heard anything from anyone and I'm getting nervous. I know it's still early though.

Via email or letter? I'm not feeling too confident about admission myself if I haven't heard back yet.

I called and received an email last week saying that I would be hearing back at the end of this week for the MA program.

Religion in the Americas.

De lurking to post. I only applied to one PhD program (the rest were M.A.). It was University of Texas and I got wait listed.. I'm really hoping people in my field decline, because it's my top choice school.

I'd also like a GRE opinion if possible. I'm applying for an M.A. at Boston University, Vanderbilt, University of Indiana, UNC, and a few others. I've only taken the test once so far, but have signed up for another test at the end of the month. When I found out my score, I was only disappointed in my analysis section. That being said, I'm not sure how much studying would improve it. My undergrad GPA was a 3.4, I was very involved in extracurriculars, and I am currently auditing a graduate level methods and theories course. V: 620 Q: 700 A: 4.5 Any suggestions/opinions would be very appreciated. I've started stressing over applying.
