I called the grad school and asked for the status of my app...after they told me it was under review I asked the guy if it was possible to know what the program decision was...I told him I understood that final approval is at the discretion of the grad school yadiyadiya.... And he simply said its good news really good news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I screamed, danced then thanked him:)
It's a relief that no one has heard from Humphrey @ U Minnesota! The original deadline given to me for the MDP Dec 15th Deadline was mid-feb. They have now pushed it back to the end of Feb. One more week of waiting:(...... That is if they don't push it back again
