mashatheicebear Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 @semiotic_messNo worries! Thank you for letting me know. @The Maritime ScholarThank you so so much for the info. It is really helping calm my nerves. I have no naive hopes of getting into most of the programs to which I applied, but at least now I know approximately when I will hear back! The Maritime Scholar 1

I went to check my email and nothing. My portal also still says "awaiting." I'm assuming they don't send out all decisions at once. Let's see what happens! There are a few schools that notify their graduate school fellowship nominees before they notify the rest of their acceptances. kirbs005 and The Maritime Scholar 2

I too saw the acceptance poster and “awaiting” on my portal. I asked the dgs therefore, and she confirmed that decisions have been made, and I’ve not been accepted. Hope this isn’t true for everyone who has not been notified yet. Good luck! Edited January 29, 2021 by LtotheOG The Maritime Scholar 1

I'm sorry to hear that, @LtotheOG! I guess they put the decisions out one by one. I'm sensing a rejection for me, but let's see what happens. Haha. Edited January 29, 2021 by The Maritime Scholar
The Maritime Scholar Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 On 1/26/2021 at 3:53 AM, The Maritime Scholar said: I received an email last night from the director of grad admissions at OSU regarding my acceptance and how I was nominated for a Graduate School Fellowship. They also mentioned that they would call me around mid February to discuss the details of the program and to answer any questions I may have. There was also mention about a stipend through a GTAship. It says how the stipend’s final number of appointments is contingent on the availability of funds. Toward the end of the email where it mentions the phone call, it does say that they would discuss with me the fellowship decision and my funding package, so I’m assuming they’re offering me funding. Just thought this may be helpful if anyone is wondering about OSU. I was wondering if anyone else received an email like this from the director of grad admissions. It seems that I will be receiving funding, but it may not be the max. I'm not sure. I guess these are questions for when he calls me in February. Let me know. Thanks!

What really sucks for me is, “..the number of applications we receive each year makes it impossible for us to provide individual feedback.” (dgs)

Cloudbury Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 It strikes me that many of the schools I applied to this year are behind on delivering results... Why can't they generate a return as fast as the Gamestop stock? lol The Maritime Scholar, LtotheOG and winterbearr 3

So I was already expecting to hear from them early on.

Lol. in any case, I did have an informal acceptance from nyu by this time 2019.
winterbearr Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 schools would normally only email results till around 6pm right? as in they wouldn't be emailing in the evening during non business hours? asking for a friend lol

cassidyaxx Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 I know that technically most of the schools are on time for releasing results, but I feel like January is draggggggingggg... and I spend every day just hoping for an email or call. I can't wait for this process to be over. clara salmon 1

I had convinced myself a couple schools would definitely notify today... alas winterbearr, OpenBook and Cordelipup 3
OpenBook Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 Same. I really thought we’d get a few more results back today.
GravityandGrace Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 Did anyone who applied to WUSTL and their Spencer T. & Ann W. Olin Fellowship for Women get an email yesterday (Thursday) from the fellowship committee saying that their file is now considered complete? Not sure why I would get this email now after applying at the end of December. Wondering if this is a sign?? ? R Westy, cassidyaxx and Regimentations 3
