silence

[scpy2010]

So if I haven't heard anything at this point does that mean I am basically screwed? One rejection letter down but not a word from any other place I applied. I keep telling myself that "no news is good news" (i.e.: no more rejection letters), however, I am slowly turning over to "no news is agonizing and bad." So far I have beat the temptation to call places and check up on what they are doing (only 1 of them is listed in the results search).. help?

I don't know, I looked at the results search for the places I'm applying to and I don't hear back until the end of March. Could just be that you are in the later batch of schools that send out notifications. You could always make a call to the schools and just don't give them your name and ask when you would expect to hear back. You can even *67 the call if you don't want them to see the number. . . .but that's a bit on the paranoid side.

I agree. I think a lot of schools are just starting to crank out the decisions this month so don't give up hope yet!!

Don't give up hope yet! I'm in the same boat. One rejection, one interview (which took place 2 wks ago and still, nothing) and one acceptance to a Masters program (which is a GREAT program, but still, was hoping for a Ph.D.). I would check the results page to see if schools are contacting others. If they are and you haven't heard, maybe it's not such a bad idea to email POIs to see what's up. I did and am getting responses that basically say- we're contacting our first choices. You're not out, but you're not definitely in either....
