HI all,
Today I took the very brave step of actually calling one of my programs that I applied to, to see what my application status was. I basically and bluntly asked if I was rejected, and the program coordinator replied back with a "No" your not rejected but that doesn't necessarily mean you will be getting an admit letter. I have applied to 3 schools already and have been shot down by all three of them. I just recently am going to apply for a school that I contacted back in November, they said they had made offers but not everyone has accepted them yet. This is the Univ of Hawaii. I probably understand why people don't chose to go there, it has great weather but then coming back to the main land won't be much of an option. It's like what is a guy suppose to make of it, I will be getting my Masters degree this May. It sucks that I know how to teach, and run alot of equipment but can't seem to get anyone to take a bite on me. One of the schools I got rejected to was one in my home state. I guess they don't give preference to people from that state, and I even applied to a tier 2 school and got rejected, I searched for who was the bottom and they were it, I was quite shocked with that one. Now I am waiting on a state school in the SEC conference to tell me I am rejected. Anyone else call up an ADCOM and just want the rejection letter so you can move on with your life? I have a decent GPA, not a great gre at all, I have seen some of the scores here and I didn't study for it since I had my thesis and talks to worry about, I found out it really is a test one must study for. And even as we approach april 15th theres just not much hope. I guess I still have a chance at Hawaii, not my first choice, but I guess it would be a new experience for me out there. I guess this is just a vent at the sucky process of waiting it out, and then just getting your rejection letter in the end.
