mashatheicebear Posted January 29, 2021 Share 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!

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

The Maritime Scholar Posted January 29, 2021 Share 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!

Cloudbury Posted January 29, 2021 Share 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 winterbearr, The Maritime Scholar and LtotheOG 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cassidyaxx Posted January 29, 2021 Share 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.

GravityandGrace Posted January 30, 2021 Share 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?? ?
