I also applied to this program, but their website is hardly informative and they have no online system (other than the bare bones applyweb stuff) for us to check on the status. I'm not too confident about getting in here, but I would at the very least like to check them off my list.

I got in! I stalked the ASU page and then all the sudden, a few minutes ago, CONGRATULATIONS! I'm so pleased! Congrats to everyone else!

Thank you for your opinions! I'm sort of torn between ScottieLass and Fanciful Unicorn's views. Is it an email they send all applicants for the GTA position/is it even connected to acceptance to the program? Or is it a sign that I'm in the uppermost tier of applicants? I'm hoping for the latter, certainly!

I received the following email today from a school that has not accepted nor rejected me yet: Do you think this means that I've been at the very least accepted to the program? I doubt they would send this email to every applicant. Thoughts?

These are all making me feel a little better about my track record. UC Davis rejected me by sending me an email that read "You may review the decision after 8:00 a.m. PST on February 11, 2011, by accessing your UC Davis application on the online admission web site." I checked the site two days before this emboldened date and they had not only rejected me, but given me FOUR explicit reasons why I was in fact not fit for their program, all of which included the phrase "not competitive" and one which said that I was not prepared for advanced studies whatsoever. Basically, I barely have enough grasp on the English language to justify my applying at all. Now they've posted a letter that says all of this in slightly kinder terms, but the last paragraph opens with "If you have any questions regarding the reasons for your denial, please feel free to contact the admissions adviser of the [Admit Major] graduate program". Thanks for taking the time to customize my letter, jerks!
