I think DePaul is sending out updates next week after their initial offers reply by this Friday.

I would say definitely try to do an honors project or a senior thesis; I know that really stands out to the adcoms. Maybe a summer research internship if you can secure one. Good letters of rec Tailor you personal statement to each school; that will help you and the school assess fit.

I got a rejection letter from GMU so maybe you're still in the running?

Thanks!!

Yeah me too. If you don't mind, could you provide the link?

thanks guys! i emailed him a few days ago, but i haven't received a reply yet

do you guys think it would be more beneficial if over the summer, i tried to learn some basics of spss or sas from books (like andy field's discovering stats using spss) or if i took a class in stats to brush up before this fall? i have some background in these but i'm not exceptionally strong in either. boo. any input would be appreciated! thanks!

So, I just received an email stating that I am an "alternate candidate" for admission into a program. I'm a little confused as to what exactly that means..Is that the same thing as a first alternate or is it just another phrase for the wait list? any input would be appreciated. thanks!

Hey everyone, If anyone got accepted to SLU's I/O phd program and you don't want to attend, I would really appreciate if you'd update your decision bc it's one of my top programs! Thanks so much!

I would recommend that you go ahead and accept TC's offer and then if/ when you get accepted to Columbia, you can go ahead and just let TC know that you will be attending Columbia when the time arises; I highly doubt they'll be offended bc I'm sure this kind of stuff happens al the time. Yeah you would lose the $300 deposit but it's worth it in the grand scheme of things. It's better to be confirmed somewhere than to be in a tough situation later.

Hey ynos, quick question. if you don't mind telling, when did you turn in your scholarship application for TC? and congratulations!!! thanks!

Sorry I can't be of much use for UConn or Houston decisions, but I noticed you applied to SLU. Have you heard anything from them yet?? All I keep getting from them are those online grad chat invites.

Has anyone gotten an invite to Virginia Tech's on-campus visit yet?

Acceptances were sent via email this week.

Yes! I just saw decisions posted on the website. Applied to PhD program but got accepted into their Masters program. Still very excited! Good Luck!!
