MarketingPhD2012

Agreed!

Yeah, definitely pretty discouraging. I definitely don't have 3 years!

Thanks!

I'm scared to email them! I am afraid of what they may say!

habanero, You are right! I apologize if I came off as saying blue collar workers are losers. That is certainly not what I meant. I am just not thinking clearly right now.

Received yet ANOTHER rejection today, via email, from Indiana University. With each passing day, I am feeling more and more like a LOSER! Guess I am destined to be a blue collar worker for the rest of my life!

What is a POI?

My thoughts exactly!

I wish I had at least one offer because I wouldn't be so uptight right now! I would have comfort in knowing that I will at least be beginning my long-term dream this fall. Right now, everything is still up in the clouds for me. I am losing my mind just thinking what my path will be in the event I do not get accepted anywhere. It's in God's hands now!

I am trying to get into a Marketing PhD program in Business School. Not sure, but I think most Business Schools do an interview. I could be wrong though. I have had one Skype interview with UTSA, but I didn't make the cut. Continuing to wait to hear from my other 7 choices. We will see what happens!!!

Do any schools extend an offer of admission to students without conducting an interview? The way I see it, if I receive an email from a school that I haven't interviewed with...AUTOMATIC REJECTION!!! What do you all think?

WOW! So sorry to hear about what you had to endure. Hope all works out for you!

washdc, That would be a big NEGATIVE!!!!

Yeah, that definitely helps! That tells me I am in for a very long wait with UH! That's okay...especially if I get in! I would love to move back to Katy and start attending my old church again!

Yeah, I would probably wait it out as well. Trust me, I know what you are going through! It is taking all my might not to email my remaining schools!

Hopefully, I will be preparing my house and my family for a big move to our new city/state! Oh yeah, go on a Caribbean cruise as well!!!

I keep checking applytexas.org, and all I see is the proverbial "application under departmental review".

SunnyWade, I am sorry the letter wasn't what you thought it was. I would have given it back to the postal clerk!

Netflix movies!

Nice letter!

I have applied to the University of Houston's Marketing PhD program for Fall 2012. Has anyone else applied to this program? Have you heard anything from them? The application deadline was February 1, 2012.

Well, I received an email from Rice on February 13. I wasn't accepted or rejected. According to the letter, Rice decided not to admit any new Marketing PhD students due to departmental needs and constraints. I am okay with their decision, but I am not ok with the fact that perhaps Rice should have decided they weren't going to accept any new students BEFORE we all wasted time and money applying to them. I applied to 10 schools, but the spot that I wasted on Rice could have been used on another school. Part of me wants to ask for a refund of my application fee, but I am not!
