Negative ghostrider, the pattern is full. I'd be pretty pumped to see that in a rejection letter.

Oh no, Elbee I'm so sorry!!!!

I noticed those too. But they are different programs - one's higher ed and one's ed policy. Not sure which program you're waiting to hear from, but I wouldn't stress just yet. As others have been saying on these boards... you won't know til you know! Waiting is definitely the worst!!!! Good luck.

To me, this reads like it is just attempting to keep applicants from contacting the office to ask about their status. As in, "we won't respond (to your call or email) to let you know your admissions decisions, so don't call or email us to ask." However, I don't think it precludes them from sending an email or calling you if you are accepted. Good luck!!!

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I'm sorry hijynx

agreed!!!

...and I'm right there with you! Thanks for the heads up... it allowed me to pick up a bottle of wine on the way home Here's to better news soon!!!

Oy. First of all - SO SORRY Total bummer!!! Second... now I am dreading going home and checking the mail! But at least any news is better than waiting I guess...and that's my positive spin.

Nice!!! Congrats!!

blank stare

Yeah, I'm trying to stay in southern California, so I'm most concerned with hearing back from these two schools!!! Good luck to you too. The waiting game is tough!

HAHAHAHAHA... I think I'm applying for the wrong PhD programs!!!

Well that's good to hear! I just wasn't sure since in the survey, one person said they received an acceptance call from a professor in mid-January, and then another (or maybe the same person?) posted they received an offer in the mail last week. Re: recruitment weekends, I believe they do have one in March but I'm not 100% sure. Yes - hopefully we will all hear good news soon! Here's to staying positive

From the results section, it looks like people are starting to hear so I just thought I'd start a thread in case anyone else wants to discuss. I haven't heard anything so I don't know if it just takes longer for rejection letters to go out, or if they're still finalizing the cohort....

Has anyone out there heard anything from HEOC?
