Congrats, Laokoon!! My Ohio State application still says "in review," but now I have something to obsessively check every 30 minutes.

There are two, so it's probably legit. I applied to Kansas for the MFA 3 years ago, and I was waitlisted. This meant I was ignored when initial rejections went out and I didn't hear for a (long) while. If you haven't been rejected yet, it could be a good sign!

So, she's already devoted two years of her life to this... but as family, shouldn't you consider filling her in on this stuff before she wastes more time/money? She may be buying into the lie that she will get a great job with this degree, or not really understand the importance of the differences between an academic degree and one of this sort. If you tell her she might respond with denial, because she's invested a lot into this, but it still is worth telling her. Conversely, she may be aware that this degree is is from an online for-profit, and she may simply want the degree for other reasons or she has realistic expectations of what it can get for her. But... I think you should talk to her in a non-threatening way, because if she's been had, the debt from some of these for profit degrees can do a lot to destroy someone's financial future.

Congratulations!!! What a day!

This is fascinating.

Yeah, I'd like to go back and study more the GRE. Ok, not really, but I used to be really good at math. In high school, I used to score >95% on math testing/SAT/etc. But I took the GRE without studying and scored 50th-ish in quantitative, and I have no memory of formulas/how to graph/etc... A review would make a huge difference, but I had more important things to worry about. Some vocab review would have helped, too. Ah, well. The only GRE I really studies for was the subject test, and let's just say... that did not help. GRE Schmee R E.

Yuck! I'm sorry to hear this. It is too early for rejections to be going on! Unreal. I believe your acceptances are coming!

We suffer in these climates If it were -1 though, maybe I'd be more interested in getting work done!

I don't think I'm where you think I am! Enjoy the rain. I'll enjoy this...

Guys, it's 72 where I am. There was a light breeze and it was so chilly. BRRRRR. Why do I want to leave my tropical paradise again?

I'd put good money down that these things are not true.

Obviously I was J/K

Excuse me.... but where did you get my writing sample?

YOU'RE BEING RESEARCHED. That's terrifying(ly wonderful)!

Yay! Congrats to everyone in this thread who has heard good news. I got my first acceptance last week. It still feels very unreal. Most of my schools don't notify until February.
