Anyone is starting this coming fall?

I got an admission letter on the second week of Mar from one of the schools that I applied to. I sent the secretary an email asking about financial information. She said that it would take a couple pf weeks to make financial decision. It has been already 2 weeks since I talked to her, but I have not heard from her yet. I also sent an email to the professor who I would work with if I decided to attend, but no news yet. I am aware that last week was spring break which might be one of the reasons why it might take longer. While it was a relief to hear positive news from one last school, waiting for admission decision is one thing and wating for financial decision is another. I applied to a 5 years program changing my major and not having research experience. What is the chance of getting financial asistance? I wonder if only those who have research experience or did get a MA degree in the similiar (if not the same) are eligible for such assistance. I am an international on top of that. (I am well aware that American citizens and permanent residents are the first priority) Time only can tell, but I am not sure how much longer it will take for them to let me know and want to ask around.

Thank you, everyone, for your comments and thoughts! I really appreciate it and I still welcome more comments on it! I hope all things work out for me. Learning or discover what I might not be that into at this moment could turn out to be the one that I really want. Who knows! I have not started working with the professor yet. However, although his current area of research is not in line with my interests, I hope it is not something completely far away from what I might want to do. I am not sure why the professor that I mentioned in my essay did not end up being my mentor, but I might end up working with him or some other faculty members later on. I will keep my fingers crossed!

I got an admission letter from the school, but the professor that I will work with is not the one that I mentioned in my statement of purpose. I looked into his information, but the area of research does not match with my interests. I am switching my major from education to social science and I do not have any research experience yet. (I got my BA and Med degrees in education) Therefore, I got rejection letters from the rest of the schools that I applied. The program that I was admitted is 5 years term (part of MA and part of PhD) I am hoping to get financial aids and they will let me know in a couple of weeks. Here is my question. Can I transfer to another school right after getting a part of MA? No one would know exactly how many credits would be transferred to the school that I might transfer in the future, but how does this work in general? What should I do about this at this point or right after beginning of the program in the fall for "efficiency" ? Don't get me wrong. I am glad to be accepted because it will allow me to build my background knowledge and research experience in the field as long as decent financial aids is provided.

I got an admission letter, but it did not say anything about finaicial information. I sent the graduate secretary an email asking about it and she said that she would let me know in a couple of weeks. Should I say "hello" to my professor (mentor)? Is it OK for me to ask about financial information directly?

Which professor was the rejection letter from? Did they say anything in the letter other than "sorry"?

I got an admission letter from Texas Tech this morning in Korean time. (it was probably Wed morning or afternoon in Texas) However, it did not say anything about financial aids and I sent an email asking about it. I hope it is OK to ask and they will provide me full scholarship as I indicated that I want to be a RA.

Has anyone heard from The University Of Denver? According to the website, they invite applicants for an interview some time in Feb. It is almost 16th of Feb. I wonder if I should consider myself being rejected because I have not gotten invitation from them yet.

That's exactly how I feel! Should we call and see what is going on?

Hi, all! U of Michigan and U of Wisconsin are the only schools that I have heard from so far. I check The Result almost on a daily basis, but have not seen any post there while there seems to be many posts for some other programs or majors. I wonder if the applicants who applied the program have not posted their outcome(including invitation for interview or wait listed) even though they heard from the schools. Or I wonder if the schools just have not decided who to accept and reject yet.

The University of Michigan is the only school that informed me the result of admission. (the emoticon tells you what they said to me in email) I have not been in touch with the rest of schools though. It began to make me wonder what is going on because people have been posting their results of admission. I know it is just beginning of Feb and I need to wait for a while. But how much longer am I supposed to wait to find whether I am accepted or rejected? Is 15th of Apr about the last day I need to wait to know?

The only university that I heard from is U of Michigan (rejected). I wonder if I should check my application status to see if I am accepted, rejected, or wait listed. Do we need to do that or what we need to do is wait? I am asking you guys this to see if there is any way that I can find the result of admission. I can't wait to hear from them For the most part, the program that I applied to is under Human Development and Family Studies though.

How do I add what schools and program I applied to. got accepted, rejected, and etc like you did in here? Sorry. I am new here

I applied to UT-Austin as well as an international applicant. I wonder if my quantitative score on GRE and not having reserch experience hurt my admission since I have not been contacted by the school for an interview. What did they ask you? How long was the interview? Do you have research experience? Not every school has made decision yet, but it makes me nervous and discouraged although I should not. I submitted one of papers I wrote when I was in Med program (about 10 to 15 pages long) and I also wonder it that was a mistake. I did not use any data analysis (statistics involved) when I was in the program.
