ShanHeartsPsyc Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Does anyone know if international students tend to get offers after nationals due to additional paperwork causing some delay? (please say yes, please say yes ) I'm still waiting and seeking some reassurance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artzkiv Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I really really really hope so. I have ZERO answers from the schools I applied to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lil kiwi Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 In my own experience, Internationals do get notified after the domestic students. I think that's also true if you look at the results page on this site for any specific programme (though it could just be the case for the ones I applied to). However, in saying that, I have heard from all of my schools. But don't worry, as long as you haven't gotten a rejection, you're still in with a chance right?

eklavya Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 at least in the US, international students studying or working or just living in the US are notified at the same time they notify american students. in other words, there is no distinction. so maybe what you are saying is true if you are an international student not residing in the country where you applied for graduate programs.

adinutzyc Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 It is true for some schools. I think some of them, due to funding, are trying to see how many nationals they could fit for the spots so they can spend less money... I am not sure about that though, but international students that are abroad do get notified later... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lil kiwi Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 so maybe what you are saying is true if you are an international student not residing in the country where you applied for graduate programs. Yes, sorry I didn't make that clear. I did mean international students who are not in the states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nessapsych Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I am not in the States and I was notified just the same day as all the other applicants. But my funding was already secured, maybe that's why there was no delay.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squaresquared Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I contacted one of the schools that I noticed others had heard from......turned out they just forgot to get in touch with me entirely regarding my decision. You could always call or email to ask about your status, or when you should be hearing back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
