I still haven't heard anything either. Maybe a week or two ago my status changed to something about my application having been sent to the Graduate School for review.

My status is still "in review" as well.

I just found a typo in my writing sample, too, so that's pretty cool. mellow.gif

Just bumping this up. Still no word from anyone else, I take it? I vote that someone calls. . . .biggrin.gif

The Graduate School just decided University fellowships on Tuesday. It may have been that the department needed to hear from the Graduate School about that before they could make final decisions so they would know how many people they would need to fund- as it sounds like they try to fund everyone they accept.

I got an acceptance email from OSU back in Feb., and an email with a fellowship offer yesterday. Fellowship decisions are definitely done, so that should mean they're moving on to the next round of admissions.

Good luck all!

Soon then, maybe. Be nice if I could get all my answers by this weekend! That's probably wishful thinking though.

You and I both!

I just called and they told me that all remaining applications are in a holding pattern until the end of March when they will make final decisions.

I hope that helps

Posted

holding pattern? What is that? :huh:

Thanks for making the call!

How delightfully vague and unhelpful.

Edit to add: there's a listing from OSU on the results page today. Someone was waitlisted yesterday...or is that Jon Alfred assuming everyone in the holding pattern is on the de facto waiting list?

That was me. I got an email from the DGS saying I had been waitlisted...

A bit weird-- I declined the offer of admission early last week, and just today received an email asking me to decline the university fellowship that I apparently received. Never got an email about that one (and kind of want to know the terms now, though I'm still declining!)

ETA: Ok, just found the email in my spam box. Stopped checking that once I heard from all of my programs!

Wasn't I. The holding pattern was the term given to me by the History department.

Checked my spam folder on a whim, and found an email from OSU History Dept. Grad Studies Committee Chair from Monday saying that i had been waitlisted... 300 applicants for 20 spots. Oh well!

Posted

I didnt even get the waitlist email. I think it's finally time to make a phone call. Tomorrow. Even if they just tell me I'm on a wait list, at least I'll know.

Posted

OSU have just closed their books. They're done with admissions decisions and will be sending out declination letters.

So, no go for me.

Posted

Just checked the graduate school website and was told I was declined.

Maybe next year. Time to look for a job?

I wish MY rejection would hurry up and get here; I just want the process to be over now. rolleyes.gif
