wait so all hope isnt lost if we havent heard from ucla yet? Ive heard so many things idk what to believe.
-
wait so are u saying mmet that if we havent heard from ucla its most likely a rejection? Lovely painter, nothing has been finalized meaning.... most decisions have been made but theres wiggle room or they are still reviewing? bah,hhhh
-
Damnnn Idk maybe by notifications she only meant rejection notifications but she did say absolutely no one. Idk here's to hoping your friend was wrong
-
I gave in called UCLA grad admissions and asked, they said absolutely 0 notifications have been sent out and they will begin notifying in the next couple of weeks.
-
is it safe to assume if we havent heard from usc by now we're out? also anyone hear a peep from ucla painting?

Ran down to see if the mail had come and was reminded that it was a holiday. NOOooooooo!!
Really scared/excited for this week!
Oh man thanks for reminding me, I was about to go check, hahaha.
On an unrelated note, I just got an email from TX Tech offering to fly me down & pay for a hotel for me to come visit! YES

Way to go, Outwest! UofC is a great school; ivy league, beautiful campus. You'll be close to the Renaissance Society gallery in Hyde Park (and you're not too far from the West town gallery district). Catherine Sullivan teaches there, pretty exciting for a new media major. Plus, you get to eat in the "Hogwarts" dining hall.
Wait, University of Chicago is in the ivy league now??!
I wish I'd applied to UofC, it seems perfect.

I'm 99.9% certain they will accept it. Unless they specify on their website that the application date is NOT the "postmark" date for mailing in things you should be fine. The only time universities will give you a hard time is if they say something like this on their website "MFA applications are due February 15, 2012 (not a postmark date; materials must be received in our offices before or on February 15)." Does the website for this school say that? If so then I might worry, but even then they'll probably be slightly lenient.

I felt this way too and ended up dropping out of my program & switching fields altogether. A few thoughts: 1. It may just be your school and/or cohort. 2. It might be your field. 3. It might be both
I was extremely depressed, hated my cohort, grew increasingly apathetic about my subject matter, and hated my school. In the end I just dropped out and switched to painting, which I discovered is what I've actually wanted to do all along. It took me a long time to figure out that what I really wanted to do was leave the program, and a lot of that came from attending counseling. I highly recommend it. And keep us updated! Good luck!

Oh, okay, thank god. I was really bummed about it because they had lost my transcripts so I overnighted them and they just got them Wednesday. I was convinced they'd rejected me because of that and they're one of my top choices! I feel so much better now, haha

congrats allenm82!
-
congrats! how did you guys find out about tyler? phone call?

SLP-Allie, I'll PM you about it so it doesn't derail the conversation here.

When I was doing Speech Pathology clinical rotations (and for my interview) I just wore dress pants and a blouse, and comfortable dressy flats.
-
I definitely feel you. I spent a year doing a Speech Pathology master's program (but not commuting) and I didn't like anyone in my program, I felt like a social outcast, and it was seriously draining/demoralizing/depressing. I ended up leaving the program, but mostly the reason for that was that I hated SLP. But I do wonder whether or not I'd be an SLP now if I had "clicked" more with my cohort.
Now I'm doing a post-bacc in art and commuting an hour each way. It is VERY hard to make friends that way but I've been able to make some friends, at the very least good acquaintances. So it is possible, even with a commute. It sounds to me like the issue isn't that you're commuting, it's your cohort. That being said, I definitely agree with what people are saying on here about different classes coming in. Next year's class might be your type of people. I would consider discussing it with your advisor, and see what they say, re: your cohort being your future colleagues.
Edited to add: I also was getting made fun of by this one awful girl in my SLP program, and then my one friend left after the first semester. All of this to say, my leaving my program is probably not the course of action you should take, hahaha.

So this isn't totally related, but a Tyler alum (BFA) committed suicide apparently on Temple's campus last week.

Thanks kazoo! If any more programs suddenly don't have my transcripts, too bad. I don't have any more extras!
I wish grad schools could receive transcripts from our previous universities electronically. I would pay more money to do that then to have them printed, sealed, mailed, and lost by either the increasingly under-funded USPS or the overwhelmed graduate admissions offices. AAAK!
EXACTLY! Some will let you upload unofficial transcripts but then if you get admitted you have to send in the official ones before they'll send you an official letter of admission. So that's obnoxious. Why can't we just have the university fax them over, at the very least?
-
Just discovered Tyler & UNT don't have my transcripts and are reviewing within the next week or so. They won't accept a fax of the transcripts and I thought I didn't have any more extras left over to send them, so I cried.
Luckily, I found some extra transcripts I had ordered for emergencies! YAY
This process is so emotionally draining.
-
Yeah, but who knows, maybe the person I talked to didn't know.
-
According to the admissions officer at Tyler, no decisions have been made or sent out yet and no one should hear for another 2-3 weeks...

Congrats gumbojoe! Was it a hard letter or an email...?
