  1. While at an interview weekend with a school another girl and myself both received emails from that school with titles saying some ting to the effect " XXXXXXX University Admissions" that turned out to be tips for admission so it got us so excited then confused.
  2. Did you see the post on the results board where someone contacted CU and they were just rejected to the FAQ? I might have giggled to my self and thought good thing PrincessBride is on top of this.
  3. There are a few of us floating around and as far as I know there has been no word either way. Good luck and let me know if you hear anything!
  4. So, I have a few questions an I am hoping that someone here might have the answers and in the alternative we can wait and worry together. So after receiving a wait list email is it acceptable/ok/standard procedure to contact the school and ask for more information? How should we think about them are they soft rejections or soft acceptances? Any other advice or experiences? Thanks!!
  5. @j.rona not all programs require interviews it varries. What programs did you apply for? Good luck !!
  6. On a similar note does anyone know if BC usually interviews ?
  7. @erictian I might not be answering what you are asking but here you go according to the HGSE tread their invites have gone out for their PhD programs. If you are asking about BC I haven't heard anything about interviews I didn't apply to HGSE but at BC I applied for C&I.
  8. i assumed you did that is why I was asking
  9. hey @jlt646 what rankings are you looking at most of the traditional sources i.e. us News have Penn State at 36ish did you mean UPenn which is 7th? Or were you looking at a specialty ranking?
  10. So I came across this language for thank you emails after interviews and thought I would share I am adding a short personalized paragraph in the middle. Good morning, Thank you very much for the opportunity to interview for a position in your graduate program. I enjoyed speaking with you, touring your lovely building, and the opportunity to learn more about your program. I am very interested in your school and the opportunity to join your program. This program feels like a very good match between my skills and experience and the mission of this school. Again, thank you for considering me for this wonderful opportunity. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns or need more information. I look forward to hearing from you. Best,
  11. try this for general information. https://ncatmarc.wikispaces.com/file/view/UNC+2012+Grad+School+Interview+Guide.pdf
  12. Hey I was just wondering if anyone had head or had any information on PhDs form Boston College? Thanks!
  13. Hey, I think an interview is a great sign. but how good of a sign is dependent on the program, it could be anything from almost a guarantee to a 1 in 3 chance. Good Luck!
  14. I am going to an amazing production so at least for today I am ok. I had one interview all ready and it was short like 45 minutes from door to door. It was a good conversation and I think it went well but until I get the final word..... The other one is the week after next and I am super excited about it!
  15. Does it seem like there's not a lot of activity going in the education room on this form? There seems to be only like four or five results everyday when some programs are getting so many. I'm just finding it hard to be patient I guess *sigh
  16. I also find myself in a very similar situation and I have a nuance to add to this discussion and hopefully get some help / opinions. Both of the professors that I am scheduled to interview with have interests that are so far out of my purview that I'm not even really sure how to intelligently talk about their research, nor am I sure on how fully I'll have to explain my research interest as even though we under the same broad umbrella they're about as opposite as you can get. I would appreciate any suggestions that you have. Thanks!!
  17. ahhh Ditto I am also sad about this we will be sad together but maybe invites are program specific so if they are not your program there is still real hope. Kathryn
  18. What is heart breaking?Did you apply to one of those schools too? Don't lose hope they are just interview invites
  19. @nicolemae Have you heard from BC
  20. @JusCon Did you apply to a PhD ? what program did you apply for? @francienolan I have heard back from ASU and Warner in the positive and UPenn is the assumed negative
  21. Do either of you know if Boulder traditionally holds interviews for PhDs in education? And if so when those interviews might be held? Thanks!
  22. Did you get the info in the Penn financial aid email?
  23. The result pages is referring to this page http://www.thegradcafe.com/survey/index.php?t=n&pp=100&o=&p=2 Where results are posted and you can search by program
  24. It's definitely in my top 3 and I applied for the policy track. It's nice to know that while there somebody else applying for the same school that we will be and different programs so we can encourage each other without any reservations
