  1. Nah, I was expecting it. 50 people applied for the 2 open spots in my field, so I wasn't holding my breath that I would get in. Still, the Friday the 13th connotation is kinda eerie--took my letter a week to arrive, from NC to SC....
  2. Gee, with today being the 13th, I decided to go and see if my long awaited and delayed rejection letter from UNC had finally come in the mail. It had. Shocker....
  3. Got my rejection letter today. Friday the 13th...shocker...
  4. My SO still has a year and a half left of her undergrad, due to taking time off. What we worked out is that, wherever I end up going (provided I get in this year), she will transfer in and finish up there. Her one caveat is that it must be a top 50 school in the nation. If it isn't, then I will be going to my school and she will stay at hers to finish up....
  5. As far as I know, you don't need to take a full course load each semester. I've overloaded to the max number of courses possible each semester since sophomore year, so I'm not speaking from experience. I can't see why it would be an issue, though. Just my two bits...
  6. I have a few Ws on my transcript from freshman year, but nothing since then. As far as I know, they are not calculated in your GPA, so you should be just fine
  7. Yeah, I didn't pick my best writing sample this round. Not sure why--at the time, when I picked it out, I thought it was pretty damn good, but looking back on it, it's not *quite* as good as I thought it was. And I really didn't know how to do the SOPs--had my advisor help me out with them, but he can only do so much.
  8. Good to know that I'm in the majority on this poll...
  9. Given that, for me, most of the time, hope sprigs eternal, I think it's a good sign. I might be completely off the mark, but it looks to me like they are eyeing your application as a possible admit. Either that or my lack of sleep and growing insanity due to this process is finally getting to me...
  10. Rural--right on! This whole process, combined with a very large dosage of senioritis, really does not make my academic work this semester and summer any easier....
  11. I'm in basically the same boat as you, Nikki. I will try taking a grad class in the fall. In addition, I will bone up on my Spanish and try to get working on another, as yet undecided, language. Furthermore, I will keep practicing for and retaking the GRE until I get the verbal score I want, rework my writing sample(s), tailor my SOPs better, and really try to get on close terms with the professors of the schools I will apply to in round two next year.
  12. I'm in the same boat--one school left and crossing my fingers on it....
  13. Don't worry about it. As earlier noted, just write a short, polite email asking when applicants will be notified. As far as I know, it doesn't hurt anything
  14. 0. habu987 1. This is the first 2. Two (only enough money for two applications) 3. One, and one more probably coming my way 4. Didn't contact faculty at schools, UGPA not stellar (3.57), kinda shitty SOPs, not my best writing sample, verbal score on the GRE wasn't what I hoped it'd be 5. Yup, sure will 6. Retake the GRE til I get the verbal score I want, redo SOPs and pick a better writing sample, kiss ass with the professors at the various schools, APPLY TO MORE SCHOOLS 7. Work (if I can find a job...) and earn money, something I have a bad habit of not doing
