Bumblebee9 Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 I'm wait listed at two programs with no acceptances. I emailed both programs about a week and a half ago to see if I could get some kind of status update but neither has responded. Starting to feel tiny. I know there are only 16 days left until D-day--chances seem to get slimmer with the passage of every day.

ootg Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 Finally got accepted somewhere. Not my dream school but a great opportunity and after all the rejections I've been getting, I'll gladly take it. Keep up hope everyone still waiting, I thought all hope was lost but somehow I got in. Hey! Congratulations! You're going to grad school!
ootg Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 Still have yet to even hear from any of my schools; and I'm feeling bummed because according to the results search, one of the schools (and my top choice) started emailing people acceptances today! C'mon! Hang in there!
Daniela Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 C'mon! Hang in there! I know, maybe I'm jumping the gun a bit, but it seems that they already emailed EVERYONE who got accepted. BUT on the bright side--I still didn't receive a rejection. lol
ORhopeful Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 (edited) Daniela, I think we should start a club of sorts. In one of the programs i have applied to, ppl have gotten results/admits a month back also. I mailed them yesterday and they said that a decision wasn't reached on my application yet. I'm running out of patience and am thinking of putting planB into action soon. Edited March 30, 2010 by ORhopeful
ootg Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 OR hopeful, at least it is not a flat rejection, so try to be positive!
Lousy Test taker Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 Congratulations for all those who have an admit after the agonizing wait... I wanna get there as well! lol
ootg Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 Congratulations for all those who have an admit after the agonizing wait... I wanna get there as well! lol And so do I...
martizzle Posted March 30, 2010 Author Posted March 30, 2010 (edited) @ ORhopeful: I am actually waiting on Cornell M.Eng ORIE too. I applied for the PhD, got rejected; but in the rejection email, they asked if i want them to consider my app for M.Eng. It would be really cool if we both got in we would have stories to tell (I'm usually shy, so this would give me 1 topic; i would probably find a way to keep it going for like 6mnths lol) @ daniela: good luck to u...hang in there @ ootg: i really do appreciate d help/support u give us...i see your posts on other topics, and im sure im not alone in saying - thnx, good luck/wish u d best @ myself: i need to get 20+ posts to make it to 200 by end of tomorrow - i've got to beat ootg on the march top 10 posters Edited March 30, 2010 by martizzle

I am giving myself an ulcer. I need to come up with a Plan B now! TOo bad I am too chicken to call the schools... one of them sent out an email in February specifically saying "Due to a large number of applicants for this program we ask that applicants DO NOT CALL US REGARDING APPLICATION DECISIONS!" lol So it's probably not a good idea to call anyways!
ootg Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 @ ootg: i really do appreciate d help/support u give us...i see your posts on other topics, and im sure im not alone in saying - thnx, good luck/wish u d best Thank you very much, martizzle! @ myself: i need to get 20+ posts to make it to 200 by end of tomorrow - i've got to beat ootg on the march top 10 posters Catch me if you can!

Daniela, I would suggest finding something to do that will keep your mind off the applications.
Daniela Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 Daniela, I would suggest finding something to do that will keep your mind off the applications. Haha I agree... I spent the whole day today in the city (I live in New York) just doing some retail therapy. Too bad the second I came home, the first thing I did was habitual check of the results search and the school's application websites. lol
martizzle Posted March 31, 2010 Author Posted March 31, 2010 perhaps not the shopping...unless you want to buy me gifts too i need me some retail therapy too lol
ootg Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 @ ootg: how you like me now? martizzle, you are one funny chap!
martizzle Posted March 31, 2010 Author Posted March 31, 2010 martizzle, you are one funny chap! and you are such a cheat! copycat too lol i saw what you did
ootg Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 and you are such a cheat! copycat too lol i saw what you did martizzle, you can take it that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... And let not the pot call the kettle black!
EliotsProtege Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 I've gotten 4 rejections ranging from my top choice to my last choice school. I'm still waiting on 2, but I'm not optimistic. I've already started studying to retake my GRE Subjects and started research for a new writing sample .... I guess it's gonna be all about Fall 2011 for me.
