Thanks. Just got my last rejection. Now I know for sure I'm staying right where I am for another year. But I really don't know how to break the news to all those who keep asking, including the Dean!

Dont worry. They all know rejections and acceptances are part of the process. There's nothing you should be ashamed of! Applying to grad school involves too many parameters, many of them are beyond your control. I told my professors all of my rejections. It wasnt easy, but I felt better afterwards. It's just part of the process..hug

thanks

I drop the Dear. Ms. LastName:

I don't use "Dear" anymore either, just Mr(s). Lastname.

so my friend wins

But now I know.

@Zouzax: now that I know, it made me feel old too. Like I came out of a Jane Austin book or something LOL

That didn't paste well.. but you're right.

OK. I get it now Thanks!

I agree with previous posters. Good luck asking!

Thanks all. I'll try and see what comes out of it!

I agree with the others, you have nothing to lose but perhaps can gain a lot.

ohhhhh sorry to hear that :s

But never fear, we'll get in next year! LOL

Lock them in the Sistine Chapel and look for white smoke!

Seems like I'll have to do that

Thanks so much for your concern, hopehope

Oh dear I am so sorry to hear this but i want you to know that we are all in the same boat. everyone is waiting for something and even those who get some stuff, do not get other stuff and still wait for their golden chance .. so , please do not let this get you down .. just be strong and preserve through these tough times.. I've been in your situation more than once and it killed me but then I decided to put the bad news behind me and believe in the future .. life is not fair and we do no...

Thank you so much Your words always cheer me up and help me see the bright side. Wish you the best of luck in ALL you do whatever you do and wherever you go!

Thanks everyone I'll try to stay positive while I wait for my last school. April 15 has passed and still no word. I wonder how this will end.

I'm in the same boat... good luck:)

thanks! good luck to you too

Thank you all for ur wishes This was my 2nd top choice. They said they transferred my file to my 2nd choice program, but what are the odds? I'm still waiting on one last school, but I'm not so optimistic about it either.

Listen I know how you feel and I was in the same situation last week; mixbag of emotions are normal; wait for the last school and precede from there. I will pray and keep my fingers crossed for you. Let me know...

Thanks VAPHD. That's exactly what I need.

This whole application season makes one go crazy. I know that and I am living that. I know it's hard to enjoy your commencement. Just try

thank you all sooooo much for your encouragement and kind words. I am very touched. You really made my day! I'll try to have fun and enjoy it while it lasts After all, you don't get a masters everyday, do you? I wish you all the best.

of course! You've worked so hard and you got to let go and indulge in the moment sometimes! relax and live out loud!

Hang in there! Rooting for you.

I have a theory that I do not count it out until I see it in ink. Good luck!

Fingers crossed for you!

I hear ya. Good luck with your applications!

thank you all! I really do need some encouragement

Ask! If they will want an answer from you by April 15th, tell them you will need this week to decide.

Yes it does say on their website that students must make a decision by April 15. OK then, here goes! (shivers, palpitations, sweating)

for sure call. this is crazy, decisions are due in 9 days!

we so excited, we so excited....fun fun fun fun

I'm not getting anything I want my acceptance letter!

I KNOWWWWWWWWWW!

all the best !

thanks

I really can't believe it's April already...

me neither!! this is craziness. 2011 is flying.

BOOM! APRIL!

I wouldn't. I work with college students on a daily basis, and many ask to see my former papers to "get an idea" of how to go about the task. Better to be safe than sorry. Help is one thing...the exact copy of your thesis is another.

i guess it depends on the school. at my school, we have full access to everyone's past theses & projects. We are encouraged to look at them for ideas. But personal papers is another thing. That's up to the individual student. I think it basically boils down to how comfortable you are with it. If you're not comfortable, don't do it!!

Thank you all. The student wants my powerpoint prsentation of the thesis defense. At our school, anyone can access past theses too and I have no problem with that. But I'm not sure about the prsentation. My advisor once told me not to give a soft copy of anything related to my work to anyone, but the student's project is completely different than mine, so I'm not sure!

yesssssssssssss

I need to take a lot of deep breaths.

LOL seems we all need breathing exercises!

The beauty of waiting it out

I hope it all ends out with something good!

Good luck!

Thank you

HAhahahaha

This is pretty funny. I think bhikhaari is absolutely right.

LOL yeah it is funny now when I think about it. Thanks all for your comments and good luck in your applications!
