  1. nope. and i already decided to attend another program now. not waiting any more. good luck!
  2. I got accepted. Though i am still waiting for the last school to give the result, but i gues mostly i will be attending UMD.
  3. i got the rejection email today. and i feel good and released. good luck!!
  4. same here. i just need a closure.
  5. any one heard back from Wagner? and i also not yet heard back from Chicago either....does that mean that i am out? thanks
  6. i have a friend who took the loan to pay for his graduate school (top private program). and he has been complaining the loan system, how bad the loan is, how bad government is.....while just intentionally ignoring the fact that it was HIM made the decision to take the loan for graduate school. so what i want to say is, if you are totally fine with the loan, maybe go ahead, Chicago is apparently a great place. If you are purely talking about the financial rate of return (no one can guarantee you a 80K job right after your graduate school, and no one know how quick you could have your salary increased to 100K, and am not sure about your life-style either. Therefore it might take 5 years or 10 years to pay off the loan?). EVENTUALLY. Eventually, you will be able to pay off the loan. Just your choice to live shouldering the loan shadow or still live happily with 60K to 80K loan without knowing when you could pay it off. I, personally, am not comfortable of taking so much loan, though i am confident that i will get a good job after graduate. (i actually did get a good job after graduation from one top private school) sorry that i do not want to sound hush. I got very annoyed by the guy who took loan and being unhappy person and affected EVERYONE around him. -- just because he choose to take the loan HIMSELF. But Chicago is great place for study. Good luck!!
  7. nothing in my inbox now...... oh, well...actually three facebook notification.... anyway, no email from Harris yet. Mine last name starts with 'T'. is mine coming soon??? hahh
  8. still no news yet...it is 3:40 pm Chicago time. i could not sleep well last night (it is 7:10 am my time now) and have to go for a 7 hours' TA+office hour soon. Hope i will be able to concentrate in class and knowing what i am talking about to the students, rather than thinking of if there is any emails come in.
  9. any one know how many PhD candidate Maryland accept each year?? tahnks
  10. they have been so quiet and no news from them at all....any one??
  11. i just wanted to say....poor Harris....made that promise but unfortunately not able to make it. But who wants to be blamed for or be cursed? i guess they are really short of people now..... i am not finding excuses for them, i am also waiting...but think about it: do you have any other school that also not yet given out results and say NO word on when they will do it?? I have one school in hand like that. anyway, i hope you would be able to make the second promise and wish them good luck. for us, another 2 or 3 days to wait. ( tell me about it that i have been so nervous these days....). Wait, but nothing else. mmm...i also believed that they sent offer to top-tier candidates early March like what is said on the result page. That is why they are holding the waiting-list/rejection list, in case they could hear back from those if they denied the offer and Harris can reassign it to any of us here?? so all of us have hope....
  12. even if you had the 120K available, i would still say that it does not worth it...maybe have more working experience and this helps not only save more, also better chance to get better offer/scholarship and save even more. --just my personal experience and thoughts.
  13. I am the same here. I have been doing very well on this first job after my master degree. My salary increased by 20% last year and i can feel that they are thinking of promoting me to a manager role soon. But no one knows (well, only 2 best friends in the office knew and they are not in a senior position) that i applied and got admitted to teh PhD program. Several things that i might suggest are: 1. Do not feel too guilty, the company will keep running without you. And no need to think that they will crash just because you left; 2. I might still choose to tell them one month in advance (pr maybe 1.5 months), it would be enough for them to find some one and i could do the handover--again, refer to point 1 that they WILL find the replacement sooner than you thought. I really like the job that i am doing, but i know that i could do more in this industry if i got a PhD. and you never know, you might still work with them one day if you will still be in teh same industry. Good luck.
  14. Thanks for the update!! hopefully, they will be able to achive this aim.....do you have any idea if it is for all Master applicants or including PhD as well? thanks!
  15. nope, yet heard anything from Harris.
  16. many congrats!!! though i am still waiting for Harris' result...waiting waiting waiting...any idea that you might have sent out all admits already??? thanks! i am also waiting for Wagner. Feel that the result will come out even later while Wagner has the earliest deadline 1 December!!
  17. i got acceptance. and the funding package to be sent out no later than Monday
  18. Not yet from Harris. and i did not apply fpr Ford. Harris said that final decisions are supposed to be out from March 18 -22. It is for all applicants. Not sure if PhD programs are also within that time frame. Also, i got nervous whenever they mentioned 'we had record number of applicants'.....do they mean master applicants?? or PhD applicants as well?? ohh welllll.......
  19. by the end of April..........????!!!!!!!! they should then thank our patience.
  20. Hi, i saw one person posted acceptance on 28th February, and said it is not formal acceptance. So i guess he/she might contacted the professor or admin. I just guess. I have heard nothing from them neither, no interview. No acceptance yet. I feel very bad Good luck!
  21. this drives me crazy that 3 out of my rest 4 schools (i have no acceptance yet, poor thing!) has acceptance posted on the result page already. but all with only one or two posts on March 3 and 4. i do not want to be bitter. If these are true, many congratulations!! they must be great of of good luck as well. but if there are spam....i would say it is really annoying....(((((( How can i make my judgment?? i could only think of that i have been rejected already (( Very bad feeling that i will get in no where. and this will be my first and last try.
