Hi everyone, I wondered if anyone else is in my boat - currently waiting for some thread of news to come from a "rolling admissions" adcom ? :?: I applied overseas (UK) and it seems like schools such as LSE can either have a very quick response, or a long wait. How long do you think is normal to be awaiting a response on a rolling application?

Ok, I officially hate UW for this reason. Their admissions department is horrid. When I applied to transfer a couple years ago, they took 4 1/2 months for my application to be processed. After numerous calls to find out where I stood [i had already been accepted to way better school at this time], they finally sent me a three line email along the lines that I was rejected, my online account was being de-activated, and that I was not a good fit as a transfer student. Say what? I had a top GPA coming from an East Coast college and had just gotten accepted into an Ivy League school. It made no sense. And they would never tell me the real reason behind why it took so long for my decision and why I was rejected. :x

If it helps, I was not looking for any type of relationship knowing that I would be applying to schools abroad. Then boom, in walks the perfect man - smart as hell, funny, cute - the whole package. Funny part? He was set to leave for China for four months two months after we started considering dating. We both said, "what the hell" and gave it a go. Now, the grad school part is becoming tricky. He already has his acceptance overseas and I have yet to receive any word. It's frustrating, and yes...getting attached to someone you may have to let go hurts like hell. But all I can say is that sometimes it is worth it to just go for it. Whether it is a brief fling or it develops into something more...at least you got a chance!
