Still waiting for three. Don't know why it takes this long... I'll start emailing and bothering them next week. But I'm assuming its a full reject round.

Why do rejections take so much longer than acceptances
psi456 replied to NiTi_Wizard's topic in Waiting it Out
Still waiting on three of my four. Is it that hard to write rejected on a piece of stationary and either email or mail it to me. I'd be okay with that, just in big black marker, so that its done. -
I think other folks have asked this to. It depends on the school. I wouldn't put too much stock into it yet. You may still hear positively...

I've definitely heard of that happening before. At my old school, they actually emailed our social security numbers out to a swath of other students instead of the faculty... whoops. If you're sending anything that has any real bearing, I recommend checking the To: field. For things like this, I feel like its only right.

since hearing from one program in mid-Feb. I have heard absolutely nothing from my schools. All had deadlines in the December-January range... As I've said before, I'm okay with getting rejected. It's the not knowing that's getting to me.

School is great fun and I loved every minute of my masters degree that I took plus it kind of led me to my current job. However, I was half funded and at a state school which made it even cheaper. Without that, I don't think it would've been worth it to me...

Love it. In mine, the words teach and learn were bigger than research. I know when I get rejected from the last three, that next year, RESEARCH is the buzz word.

Got rejected to PhD program, but applied to Masters.
psi456 replied to artgeek's topic in Waiting it Out
Yes, its possible. I would call the department and ask if they would consider you for the master's program if that is your interest. -

Ployer is asking what I'm doing for next year before they source me. Sorry would edit old post but my iPod touch is new and therefore limiting to me. Can't figure out how to scroll down within text box.

Okay but the app fee isn't the only thing that I paid for. It also cost me twenty four dollars in transcripts plus a fourth of my GMAT test, so let us allocate another sixty per school plus sending that score plus sending from my credentials file. So it's now about one eighty or so per school. Okay, yes the school doesn't see all that money but they know that it was all spent for this decision. Additionally, I'm not annoyed that they are still making decisions at this point but they know the April 15 deadline is approaching and I didn't even receive a "we got everything" email for a program I applied to in October. At least don't keep me in suspense for nothing. My em

What's the story behind your avatar or username?
psi456 replied to katerific's topic in Waiting it Out
Haha... yes! It means, it excited me in just the right way. It's a cute phrase that old folks like my parents use, don't know where its from. Every now and then I like to update my username. I had, had maniac since 7th grade- which I thought was awesome and I even did a substitution so that I could write my email address correctly but you'd have to be in the "know" to spell it right. Goodness, I was a cool 9th grader--- of course I spelled in MANLAC... so that's pronounce man lack. As a guy, I got sick of explaining it. So I tried to come up with a username that meant nothing. Essentially, psi was chosen because it was a relevant symbol in something I was working on earlier that day and 456 was chosen so that I could remember what the numbers were. Couldn't have remembered a completely random set of numbers... yep. I'm another random one. And I second the, my avatar highlights my originality. -

All applicants were invited to the school's gradstudent conference.
psi456 replied to everygirl's topic in Waiting it Out
As someone going for a PhD in business areas, I should say network. However, as an eternal introvert, I'd feel so incredibly lame and unable to impress anyone. Should you go? Probably. Would I go? Probably not, in all honesty. I voted "lame" for what its worth, even though I'm clearly vacillating. -

I have almost the exact same situation. I actually needed to check that I wasn't the person who wrote this post... I submitted October 15th (thought maybe I just missed the one...) I think that this is part of what is driving me so crazy, is that I submitted it so long ago.
