OkayforNow

1. Firefly 2. Serenity 3. That 70's Show 4. The Mighty Boosh and, pretty much anything on the History Channel, the Science Channel, and National Geographic I deal with my stress by watching television so I have watched a lot lately.

I would go for the Masters.

I would email. I don't think a polite follow up could hurt.

For my undergrad I ended up with a 3.12, and that's after getting mostly A's and some B's for a year and half. I was at 2.55 before. I took eighteen hours of graduate education work at a 4.0. I'm looking to go into Special Education. So I know how it feels.

Late notice

Yes, you are supposed to wear green to avoid getting pinched!

Very true, ikatticus, that would probably be too much for me. People here in Kansas City take their St. Patrick's Day festivities pretty serious : )

I get to work...yay...I love my retail job.

These stories frighten me to my very core:O

Yeah, I would definitely look at your earning potential once you are out of school.

Wow, that's a lot of money. I would really have to reconsider going back if it was going to cost me that much. I want to be a teacher so i will not be making all that much once I get out. How come you are not eligible for any funding? Is there any other assistance that you could get?

Oh that's rough!

I think that's mean but maybe they want you to feel positive about the progress of your application. I'm glad I did not get an email that said that. Mine was straight to the point "your application is under review by the admission committee." I still walked around the whole day grinning like an idiot "omg! An ADMISSION committee is reviewing MY application! Eeee!!" It would have definitely rubbed me the wrong way to have "Congratulations" somewhere on the website. Getting peoples hopes up only to make them wait some more.

Yes, this whole process has me bouncing between happily hopeful, anxious, and then depressed. I had no idea it was going to be so stressful. Everything was all fun and games until I submitted my first application because at that moment it was out of my hands forever.

Plus, best places to get a new computer?

Anybody heard anything about Sony Vaio laptops?

Rap star

Oh, and I just hit the mental wall of "assumed rejection" today. I'm sure I will sway back over to a more optimistic viewpoint shortly.

The fact that not a lot of people are posting for Special Education really does feed into my anxiety. It's weird how it does that. So many thoughts run through my head "well, maybe special education is not as competitive because otherwise this website would be filled with other people like me." "maybe people just have way better applications than me so they are not worried/excited enough to post their SpEd admission results." "huh...there does not seem to be a lot of rejections posted for SpEd, hopefully that's a good sign..." Anyhow, I know how you feel Silent B

I am driving everyone in my life crazy with my anxiety. "What do you think this means?" "Do you really think I have chance?" And, of course, I'm driving myself crazy with all these things in my life that could be "signs" to my future. Unfortunately, prospective Special Ed. graduate students do not seem to use GradCafe all that much, or at least not as much as other potential students.

I would wait a little bit since you just emailed them yesterday.

Human error is a scary thing.

You're right...I'm entitled to some clarification. Thanks:)

So I got an email from a school a couple of weeks ago letting me know that my application was incomplete because one person had not submitted their letter of recommendation. My online application was also updated to say "Incomplete." I had submitted my application online somewhere around February 22 and everything was due on March 1. The person who wrote the recommendation wound up submitting it a week ago and I can even see on my Apply Yourself account that it's in but my application status has yet to be updated. The school said that they would email me when they got the recommendation but they haven't yet. Does this just mean that they are really busy and just have not gotten to my application yet? Or maybe they have already tossed my application aside? I have thought about emailing or calling them to check but I have already contacted them to make sure that they had my transcripts (because that did not get updated either) and while they did respond, the tone of the email made me think that perhaps I was annoying them a little . Any information would be great, thank you!
