keepsmiling:) Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Hi Friends! As I am sure you all are, I am currently freaking out. I've applied to 6 schools for marine sciences, rejected by 4, and waiting to hear back from 2. One of those 2 is my top choice school and April 15th is less than a month away. Do I email my POI and ask about an application status? Do I sit here and drive myself crazy while refreshing my email every 2 seconds? What do I do if I don't get into grad school? I don't really need answers lol...just knowing other people feel the same might help. Thank you!! JetPlane_the 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHoff Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Hello, I'm also freaking out, I applied to 4 programs, 3 for Electrical Engineering, 1 for Computer Sciences. I have been interviewed by only one program, which I know that I'm on the waitlist since I contacted my POI and he said so. I contacted the other 3 programs and they all replied: "applications are still under review". If I don't get accepted I'll probably finish my Masters and go look for a job since having a Ph.D. in Brazil is not worth the effort. I might as well apply next year again, but I'm not sure yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirith Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I only applied to three places... Two of those programs list early April as when decisions go out! I cannot wait that long. I'm checking my email, the school application pages, and here to see if anyone else got in. Even though I know I won't see anything for at least a week...

JetPlane_the Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) Ay.... Similar field of interest. I study marine geology. I'm sick and tired of talking to my friends about this issue... it feels like I'm verbally harassing them because I talk about it so much! I don't know... maybe I'll call the admissions office to ask about when the decisions will be finalized... I... really have no idea *sobs* Edited March 21, 2018 by JetPlane_the Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleepfrog Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Yep. Applied to two schools, accepted to one, but have heard nothing from my top choice. I called the other day to get a timeframe for a decision and the person I needed to speak to was at lunch. I left my name and number and but no call back yet. I might call again before I go into work today, but I don't want to pester them. Ugh, this whole process! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
