Just Accept me Already Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 (edited) On 2/11/2018 at 7:30 PM, iHaveAquestions said: After accepting the interview invitation they e-mailed me back and said there would be an essay! But, flights out there are $600+ I don't know if I can actually make it out there to interview, especially because weather conditions may interfere (supposed to snow/rain). Oh wow, that's expensive! If you can't make it there they should be more than happy to let you do a phone or Skype interview. Good luck on the essay!

misuny Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I was trying to hold off on posting anything, but in an effort to distract myself from the anxiety... Field/Program: Masters in Urban Planning Schools: NYU Wagner, UMich, UPenn, UCLA, MIT, Harvard Status? Irrationally refreshing email and checking spam folder even though there are still a good couple of weeks before results come out and wondering if finding GradCafe made things better or worse. Some of the schools I applied to are honest-to-goodness reaches, but it doesn't hurt to try. I only applied to schools that I really want to attend, so if I considered something a "safety" or couldn't imagine myself living/working somewhere for 2+ years, I took it off the list. If I get rejections across the board, I can always work full-time, save up, and try again. But it would be really nice to get in somewhere. And get money for it. Lots of money.

IsItAprilYet Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I’m also posting to quell my obsession and anxiety that has been building the past few weeks. Programs: Geography/Geoscience Schools: USC, Penn State, UGA, UNC-Wilmington Had so much time to daydream today at work. Despite the fleeting joy I experience daydreaming about quitting my job, going to grad school, and pursuing a career I actually will enjoy, my impatience is at an all-time high right now because it’s still only mid Feb and I likely won’t hear from everyone till early March Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haspeer Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Field/Program: Clinical Psychology Schools: Oakland, Eastern Michigan Status: Obsessively refreshing my email! No word from either yet, but hoping I get an answer back either way in time to submit a second round for a similar program (clinical mental health counseling) at both schools before that program's deadline!

Kalashed Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I'm happy to see I'm not the only masters applicant freaking out right now. Field/Program: Agricultural/Applied Economics (every degree in my field has a slightly different title for some reason) Schools: Cornell, UC Davis, UMN - Twin Cities, UIUC, UN - Lincoln, U of Wyoming Status? I've been admitted to UMN and UIUC, so I have at least heard some good news, but waiting on Cornell is killing me. I got an email from the assistant DGS telling me he liked my application and was putting my name in for the PhD track, so hopefully I will get good news about that. At this point I'm not worried at all about Nebraska or Wyoming since I got into better schools. A professor told me to apply to Davis because he said funding there is possible, but from what I've heard funding is pretty much nonexistent.

Sprint14 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I'm applying to MS programs in Human Computer Interaction / Information, specifically: University of Michigan, MS Information U of Indiana Bloomington, MS HCI Georgia Tech, MS in HCI - Psychology Cornell Tech, MS Health Tech Syracuse, MS Applied Data Science Carnegie Mellon, MS HCI U of North Carolina, MSIS and possibly Bentley MS in Human Factors My states are GPA 3.47 - with two notably bad semesters GRE Q154 V166 W4.0 I'm 30 years old and have 6 years of professional experience in web design/development and some product design. I've worked at very large fortune 500 companies and small startups. All my references are professional. I haven't heard from any place and have no real idea what my chances might be. I don't know how much professional experience will be valued over undergrad or if the huge split in GRE scores (97%V 54%Q) will matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
