CONGRATS rutabaga!

Catherine at GWU said some people should be having their status updated on applyyourself in the next couple of days. She told me that I was waitlisted at the same time so that was no good.

Waitlisted at GWU. I've never been waitlisted before so does anyone know how the whole process works, specifically at GWU. like when do they let us know for sure if we can or can't go?

I havent heard anything yet either. I emailed yesterday and now I'm waiting to hear back. I applied to the PhD program though. I had expected to hear on friday but didnt. some people did, both acceptances and rejections so i m thinking waitlist for me.

where are you looking, they're are definitely people who got rejected. Does anyone know what the average funding from GW is for PhD students?

Good luck on that!

Very true. I'm trying to remain optimisstic! I did notice however that last year on like march fifth, someone was waitlisted so I'm wondering if that is the path i ll be taking. you're healthy policy right? I'm going for sci and tech so going by fields is very possible. are you still waiting on some schools? are you leaning towards any particular school yet?

Congrats Rutabaga! I'm slightly nervous, my still shows CCAS3.

I think its because the economy is in the tank. When people can't find jobs, the alternative is graduate school

i just stalk down the results from the last couple years to make a good guess as to when I think they'll be sending out a decision. So far its worked pretty well.

Thanks! I'm guessing GWU results will be this Friday so hopefully its not too bad Fridays in a row. I'll actually be visiting another school that day so perhaps I wont get the results until Saturday One good thing about GWU vs RAND, rand guarantees you money whereas GWU doesnt. Financing school isnt a huge issue (company pays for it) so if they dont want to let me in with money, maybe they'll at least offer me admissions where rand couldnt do that

:cry:

someone was accepted to rand.........i havent gotten an email yet today..........3.5 more hours to go till the weekend begins....

Eeeeekkkk! Emails from RAND go out tomorrow.......I'm preparing for impending rejection....
