sleepyslp2be Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I've heard from every other program I've applied to by now...except ETSU. Based on the results page here on gradcafe (which I spend way too much time on, btw) They have sent out acceptances, waitlists, and rejections. I checked my portal and it still says my application is under review. Is it possible that I just won't hear back from them? Is that a thing? I applied to them just for fun anyway, so I won't be heartbroken if I get a rejection-I've already been accepted to other schools that I will more likely attend. I just thought it was interesting that given the $60 application fee I haven't even received a response yet. Has anyone else experienced something like this? How did it work out for you?

estel Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I would recommend emailing them and asking for an update! Maybe they send out applications in waves, or maybe they had a technical difficulty, or maybe your application was marked incomplete or something.

mckennahslp Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I would also recommend reaching out. For the most part, I'd say it isn't bad news to not hear yet. However, if they are already starting to fill their cohort, I would recommend reaching out. If it is just a technical error and maybe they would except you, I imagine you'd want to know before making a decision. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadisonMachelle Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Hi! I wrote this for another sub but this is what I sent out to grad schools. Obviously change the wording a little but this is what I said: Dear Dr. ________, I want to reach out and thank you for the opportunity to interview with you and the rest of the__________ faculty (if you didn't interview just say thank you for your time). It was eye-opening to learn that (insert what stuck out to you about their program). One of the biggest reasons I applied to______ was for a ______________________. If admitted, (insert if you will enroll/ if you are interested in research or GA position/what you will do for the school).I can really see myself insert what you are looking for in a grad school. I believe insert you're a good fit for program and why. Emphasize what you can do for the school!Being accepted to a program of this caliber insert what getting accepted would mean to you. Thank you again for generously sharing your time with me and the other qualified individuals. I look forward to hearing from ____________________ and hopefully representing the school in the future. Sincerely,________________________ bibliophile222 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
