At this point, I have been rejected from 3 of 4 schools. I had to call all three to get the results, despite the fact that they had them easily within reach. I STILL have not received any "official" word from a single school. I don't think I'll apply again, because it seems like schools don't care at all that everyone is waiting around/freaking out while they take their time releasing decisions. I understand taking time and consideration in making decisions, but once they're made, they should be trying to let us know ASAP.

I think a lot of you guys are seriously over analyzing something that most of your fb friends will barely appreciate (see: "shit people say when you're applying to grad school" thread)

Is there anybody who didn't hear from EPFL Masters?
applyingfromtexas replied to pikachu's topic in Waiting it Out
don't put too much trust in the results board. i was going crazy because results popped up on two of the schools that haven't contacted me yet. I called the grad offices and they said they wont notify until early March. I'm not sure who is going around purposely stressing people out, but I imagine quite a few posts on the board are fake. -
I still haven't heard anything, but March starts this week! FINALLY! Fingers crossed!

Cryptic Acceptance? What does this mean...
applyingfromtexas replied to jeenyus's topic in Decisions, Decisions
Sounds like you are definitely in and the overall package is pending. Congrats! -
I haven't heard anything either. My impression is that most of the programs I applied to are going to send out notifications this week.
-
also, there is a rejection via the website. should I assume that I'm waitlisted/rejected if I haven't heard anything?
-
whoa! sorry that happened to you! i bet they forgot to change the name when copying the message. good luck!

What GRE cutoff scores are you aware of?
applyingfromtexas replied to We regret to inform you's question in Questions and Answers
typically the grad school has minimums and the individual program's average depends on the strength of applicants -
Those who have been accepted to UT's LBJ school for public policy: did you receive an email from your POI or did the grad school notify you to check the website?
-
Yes, I'm sure there are some people posting untrue results. I have personally noticed one on a school I applied to that I know is false. I doubt it is anyone from an adcom, because I'm sure it causes an increase in worried "when will my results come" phone calls/emails. Karma will eventually get them...

no point in stressing over the little things now! we're almost there guys!

Anyone else think its cruel that there is an extra day in Feb this year?

I feel your pain about the thesis! If it makes you feel any better, I wrote half of my MA thesis only to have my computer/external hard drive stolen. Needless to say, it was not my finest hour.

Do you think it is a bad idea to call to find out if admissions is still considering an application? I haven't heard of anyone calling and receiving a positive response...

Has anyone contacted the department assistant to find out when admission results will be released this year?
-
Okay this is kind of ridiculous. If your "friends" on Facebook wouldn't be happy for you, maybe you should un-friend them? If one of your close friends might be sensitive to the news (because of their own application to the SAME program), I can understand being sly about your update. If not, brag away! You worked hard for that success!
