IntBiz Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Anyone having trouble accessing Fletcher Application Management System? I, for one, haven't been able to log into the system since Jessica from the Ad Com suggested applicants to try logging in. Now, the admission blog is not working either.
Ashlee Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 I can get into the application management system (still no results...) but also can't see the admissions blog.
Ashlee Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Also, on the results board, some people have found out about MALD already...
IntBiz Posted March 2, 2010 Author Posted March 2, 2010 Also, on the results board, some people have found out about MALD already... Yes, I think those are the so called "Febs" admits. According to ad com, these represents just a tiny portion of accepted individuals. The unavailability of admission blog (and GAMS previously) somehow gives me an impression that Fletcher is very close to releasing their list of the regular admits/rejects VERY VERY soon. I know its just useless speculation, but the adrenaline rush and uncontrollable anxieties are fun when you think about it!
lemon75 Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 According to the Admissions blog they're still a couple of weeks away from posting the results. I guess its a technical glitch!

I haven't been able to access their admissions blog all day! :-/ UGHH:SNDF:Nd!
Batignolles Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 I was wondering the same thing! I haven't been able to access their admissions blog all day! :-/ UGHH:SNDF:Nd! Tufts' Facebook page says that they know the blog is down. Yesterday afternoon they noted that their IT department is working on fixing it: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Medford-MA/The-Fletcher-School-Admissions/149157541390?ref=ts
DeepShadeofBlue Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 Tufts' Facebook page says that they know the blog is down. Yesterday afternoon they noted that their IT department is working on fixing it: http://www.facebook....57541390?ref=ts Ohhh! THANK YOU! From there I found that website where you can check the application of your status..man I had no clue that existed! You're a lifesaver!
Batignolles Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 Ohhh! THANK YOU! From there I found that website where you can check the application of your status..man I had no clue that existed! You're a lifesaver! Happy to help! Aside from finding out if your file is complete, though, I am not a fan of these status websites. Who wants to log in and check their status all the time? AdComs should just always use email, it would be way more convenient. Although, given my compulsive use of my blackberry, I guess it's true that an email update might suddenly hit me in the wrong meeting at the wrong time...!

Well, a status update should generate an email anyway...
wednesdaybythesea Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 Helloooo fellow applicants! Good luck bearing the final bit of waiting! We've made it seven thus far and only have one-ish to go. Let us remember this as the time when only possibility lay out before us. Seriously, though, good luck to all. May Fletcher choose well.
wednesdaybythesea Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 and by "seven" and "one-ish," i was referring to weeks.
DeepShadeofBlue Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 According to the Fletcher Blog, we should find out by March 19th. http://news.fletcher.tufts.edu/admissions/
IntBiz Posted March 8, 2010 Author Posted March 8, 2010 Yes, but she also mentioned that there will be two batches of releases. First of which will consist of 90% of admits and the second one (within 10 days or so) will have the rest. If she guarentees that everyone will hear by 19th, wouldn't that mean both batches? If so, then we should start hearing from Fletcher 10 days prior to 19th..and that is 9th..tomorrow... (Am I being overly analyticial???)

My understanding is that for MALD and MA applications there won't be a lag, but for MIB and LLM you might end up hearing 10 days after everyone else.
DeepShadeofBlue Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 My understanding is that for MALD and MA applications there won't be a lag, but for MIB and LLM you might end up hearing 10 days after everyone else. Yeah, that was my understanding of the reading as well.
fancypants09 Posted March 9, 2010 Posted March 9, 2010 I'm getting so antsy waiting! At this point, I just want to know. And the admission blog posts aren't helping to reduce the anxiety...
wednesdaybythesea Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 oh, enough already! i just want to know! now!
Batignolles Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 oh, enough already! i just want to know! now! I hear you, wednesdaybythesea - I'm still waiting to hear from all three of my schools as well. I really should have thought through the timing better when I was deciding where to apply...!
IntBiz Posted March 12, 2010 Author Posted March 12, 2010 Ok..who is: 1) biting his/her nails like crazy... 2) anticipating that today is the day 3) refreshing Fletcher's blog bazillllllions times 4) theorizing as to why Admissions hasn't updated the blog today....

HAHAH, I've definitely done/thought ALL FOUR THINGS today. It's getting to be ridiculous. I'm thinking it HAS to be sometime today...you know, release the news over a weekend, so that the office will be closed, thus giving angry applicants a chance to cool down.
thombo Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 (edited) Looks like today (or by monday at least) is the day (for 90% anyway)... http://news.fletcher.tufts.edu/admissions/ This will eb the first I hear from, so lets hope I have something to drink to tonight... Edited March 12, 2010 by thombo

Thanks for the link, thombo! I've been checking the Fletcher Admissions Blog pretty religiously this week and I can't wait to get my decision. I've already heard back from the other school I applied to (I only applied to 2 schools), but I'm still anxious about Fletcher and excited about the process coming to an end at the same time! Just a reminder to those waiting: I checked my GAMS profile at around 2PM EST (no decision yet) and I noticed that my email address wasn't listed on my profile. We'll hear one way or another, but I just want to inform others to check their profiles to see whether this is applicable to them as well.
Luke Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 Just got my decision - waitlisted. A little bummed out but not too much. You guys might want to check the application management site directly since I didn't get an email yet (was just constantly refreshing haha).
kabutar Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 Oh good call! Checked it, it's a no for me. Long shot anyway since I didn't have any international experience
