franks98 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 (edited) let the admission brags begin! dont vote until all applications have been officially replied. Meh... I have one Canadian app outstanding, but I haven't heard a peep from them. I accepted my offer today and will withdraw the app from the Canadian school. I kinda wish I wouldn't have spent the $150 for the app, transcripts, and fedex charges to apply there! Edited April 9, 2011 by franks98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HyacinthMacaw Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 89.5% of the programs to which I applied rejected me, which is oddly about the same percentage of applicants that most programs reject (maybe it's even a little higher)! These are long odds indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neuropsych76 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I think the application success rate can't really be measured by % of acceptances. I was accepted into a great school with a perfect research fit so I would consider that a success neuropsych76 and psyentist4good 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNC Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Depends on what you consider a rejection. If you consider applying for doctoral program but getting masters admission acceptance then I got in at an 86% clip. But if you consider such a case a rejection i was batting at 57%.
