Why don't you all become reporters? You seem to know so much about how to be a good reporter, since you all have been criticizing heavily.
Criticism does require extensive knowledge about a subject. Very embarrassing... Your examples are all pulled from the media itself, so this should be a clue as to how little you all know about being a reporter or media or journalism. May be you should re-think what you are really criticizing: The media or the reporters?
I am very suprised to see so many ignorant people trying to become educators. You should have an open mind, may be at least an inch open.

Unnecessarylu rude.

Wow, too much negativity.... Poor reporter. She/he is just trying to do his/her job, and found a creative way to reach her/his target. That is about it.
sorry my two cents.

I am trying to be optimistic but after 5 rejections and 1 waitlist, it is hard. The Grad Advisor told me that I am the top of their waiting lists (they have more than one, depending on the research interest). Yesterday I checked and they said I won't know until post April 15.
have been crying. please someone reject!

pikatopia: I am aware how agonizing the process is. Seems like you already withdrew your application from where you decided not to go and that is what I am talking about, so you did well

I sincerely hope that the applicants notify the schools of their decisions soon, so that the ones waitlisted won't develop further stress related symptoms (i.e., ulcer, anxiety). Seriously, if you know (for sure) you won't go to X school, please let them know so that they can notify the applicants who are waitlisted and currently aging from waiting :roll: .

Any word from UMass Amherst Ph.D? I still haven't heard a thing. Have all the acceptances gone out before their spring break, or are they still making decisions? Any info would be appreciated-
Yay; i believe you asked this question. i believe UMass Amherst already sent out their initial offers and waiting feedback from those applicants to notify the ones on the waiting list. They haven't notifyied me but I called to find out. They are in fact nice, so I suggest that email to Dr. Carbough. He does respond within 5-6 hours
-
As far as I know, they only accepted 4 people.
This year is very hard, i believe for all schools
-
Got rejected from ICR. Very nice. 2nd notice, 2nd rejection. 4 more to go

I, personally, chose not to apply to any schools in the State of Florida; as they did not leave a very good impression on me. Not returning emails, having unrealistic exam score expectations, etc. So, long story short, I am not about Miami.
I did not apply to Northwest but I am still pessimistic about my schools. I really hope to get the results this week. I know Pittsburgh is not announcing until the last week of March or beginning of April. At least that is what they told me.
Good Luck

Imleaving;
I spoke with UCSB as well, the application decisions will be announced this week or next week.
I am waiting on 5 schools and I called each one on Friday. They all gave me the same response: The announcements will be made within the next 2 weeks.
I think we will learn this week or before they leave for the Spring Break ,the latest. After I heard that Northwest only accepted 4, my pessimism reached the ultimate high.

Hey Yay;
I am waiting on ICR as well. It says on their site that they will contact applicants starting March 1st, however I have not heard anything. I checked last year's results and seems like they announced their decisions the second week of March. So, I am confident that this coming week, i will hear from all 5 schools, including Urbana/Champaign ICR. If not, before the spring break, the latest.
Good luck
-
Thank you, Gorilla girl. Every piece of optimism counts at this point.
I hope to share the good news. And hear yours.
Good luck everyone
-
I am right there, with you. Today, I was thinking that I wish I had not told anyone, or may be one or two about my plan. Now I have to deal with their questions and etc.......
I am waiting on 5 schools, applied to 6. Rejected from 1.
-
You must be reliefed. Congrats on your acceptances. I am sure the funding will be fine.
I am waiting from UMass Amherst, Pitssburgh, UIUrbana/Champaign, Corenll and UCSB. Still haven't heard but will know this coming week, for sure. I am so depressed and pessimistic at this point
-
Please share your results., thank you

I don't think this is the right forum for you.

you are fine.
Anyone else, any news?
-
anyone applied to UCSanta Barbara? Have you received any response. I heard that they were going to start announcing by end of February/early March. Same question applies for ICR at U IL (Urbana/Champaign)

Hello Yay;
I would not worry about the online status as my application also seems incomplete. I dont think they have the time to update it.
They did not send me any notifications, I emailed and asked for the status. I guess they would have told me if it was a rejection. Good Luck
UMASS Lowell or Monterey Institute of International Studies
in Decisions, Decisions
Posted · Edited by CopperBoom
I have been accepted in Peace & Conflict Studies in UMASS and International Policy Studies in Monterey Institute of International Studies.
UMASS provides research assistance ship (fully paid). It is a small program in UMASS. The faculty is okay but not as good as UMASS.
Monterey Institute of International Studies: i have to borrow gov't loans so when I graduate I am looking into owing 80+ in gov't loans. The program is 2 semester longer. The faculty is better than UMASS.
Which one would you choose?
