I emailed a professor from The Department of Geology of Miami University (Ohio) to ask her about the time line. She told me that the first round decisions have been made but they were not able to make me an offer but might recruit me later if there were some positions left. But she also told me that the possibility is not very high.
It seems to me that I am on their waiting list but not rank very high. For god's sake! It is my first decision-like thing! I applied for 9 universities but heard from nowhere before this! And just look what the first is! Oh, I just bored of waiting.
Is anyone reading this email got an offer from the Geo Department of Miami Ohio? Will you go there then? I really want to know how many guys would refuse them to go somewhere else. Perhaps I could take the chance!
Fingers crossed for everyone!
