Abigail Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 Hi everyone, I know this may be an odd question, but I just applied for spring admission and was wondering if there was anyone else out there waiting to hear? I know how insane the first part of the year is with everyone waiting to hear. I was part of that group - unfortunately calling a potential committee member on something was basic suicide for that application. So I've started anew, but with the focus on spring admissions. I checked the results page for the university I've applied to but didn't see any entries outside of the normal (Feb/Mar) entries. So either I'm a complete oddball for applying now or a genius. I'm leaning strongly toward oddball. :-) Just wanted to wave to anyone else in the next wait phase.
aginath Posted September 11, 2010 Posted September 11, 2010 Depending upon type of degree and field, you could be completely normal or plain out of luck. For example, my program (specifically within my department) rarely has spring admissions for doctoral programs. However, our Master's program accepts students year round (preference on fall and summer for cohort purposes).

However, our Master's program accepts students year round (preference on fall and summer for cohort purposes). It's for a master's program. I already have one in another field, but am switching to a related field and then to continue on with the Ph.D. The medieval program has both spring and fall admissions, though only the fall is eligible for funding (I'm self funded). The need for the second master's is to cover a language deficiency I have that the Ph.D program requires.
DaisyAdair Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 I applied for Spring admission. I am waiting to hear. The school I am interested in offers Spring admissions, so I applied and if I don't get in, I will look at other schools for the Fall. So you are not alone. I am waiting with you!

Hi there - nice to know I'm not alone out here. Fingers crossed for both of us. I just checked my online application status - everything has finally been received (had one transcript hanging out there) by the institute so now I'm waiting "pending file review" whenever that is. Eventually my heart will beat a normal rhythm. :-)
Abigail Posted October 13, 2010 Author Posted October 13, 2010 I got my admit for spring in TAMU. Congratulations!
