Congrats!!

Rejected from Southern Miss. Can't say we're particularly upset since neither of us REALLY wanted to live in Mississippi. So much for safety schools!

It's true! We don't really want to stay here, but at the same time, there's something to be said for having stable job/s and social support. We will see!

And the first acceptance for SJSU seems to have gone up. We're local so I'm not feeling encouraged that nothing came in the mail today.

That's fantastic! Congrats to you!!

Congratulations!!

The results board is already moving quite a bit faster than it has the last few days... UCA is the only wildcard we've got left, hopefully an answer comes today.

Haha yes, the non-traditional student story! He didn't really take things seriously until about 2004, so the first few years of his transcripts are all over the place in terms of class success.

I'm going to agree with this. I know for us, we had intended to apply to Northern Arizona U, but their website made clear that anyone under a 3.5 on AW wouldn't be accepted. Much the same as GPA, I think many schools have a hard and fast cutoff for what they'll accept to weed out some of the applicants.

Hooray! Congrats!

Congrats!!

What did you change between this year and last?

You could ask for an extension, citing the two remaining schools, or you could reach out to the two schools and ask for a status update.

Yeah, I feel like this is generally a busier week. And I agree, the wait is more excruciating than getting even a negative answer! At least when he was rejected last year, we knew to stop tentatively planning. As it is now, I sit at my desk all morning, looking at TGC between work and waiting for 3:30 when I know my husband will have checked the mail.

Halfway through March. I thought my husband would have heard back from almost all of the schools by now, and yet...

I don't think so. My husband entered community college in 2000 and didn't get his BA until 2007, with several repeated classes and withdrawals. It's never come up as a point of concern, even when chatting with professors.

Congrats on getting in, but man, what a stressful acceptance!

Sorry to hear that. We're taking the mid-range placement as a probable rejection at this point.

Anyone else get an email from Rebecca about waitlist placement? Apparently my husband is "mid-range" and his "chances of being taken off the wait-list are less predictable." :/

We're expecting to hear back from UCA this week, which is tied with FHSU on our list. Unfortunately it looks like they've historically sent out answers on the 13th/14th of March, so we've got a few more days.

My husband turns 33 on Friday! I'm also pretty surprised by how young most everyone is here.

My husband is the one applying, and what he's heard through the grapevine is that it's not any more advantageous than being a woman. They're not going to overrepresent men in admissions so at best you find that the proportion of men accepted out of the pool of men applying is the same proportion as the amount of women accepted out of the pool of women applying. Again, not science, only hearsay, but it made sense to me.

Sorry to hear that, twinguy. ?

Congrats!

Congratulations!!!
