CairoKid Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Well my cycle is officially done, rejected from Denver. Therefore, I will be around a lot less than I am usual, I wish you all the best of luck as you visit and decide on schools. What about UW Seattle?! Hold out hope!

bodywithoutorgans Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Anyone have any information on UVA? Yes-I contacted the DGS a few days ago. He said that their offers were out, and there's a waitlist of people that they will begin to contact after some offers fall through. I'm not sure, though, if those on the waitlist have been contacted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely sorry to hear that, but I hope you'll take what many people here have said about being more successful on their second try to heart.

Maximilian Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Excited about Grad Cafe Results that U of T's made its decision and will be mailing out results friday... unless it's a troll... Not a troll! It wasn't me who posted, but I also got an email from the grad secretary saying that I was on the list for acceptance, and he just needed to go over the files before sending offers (this was in response to an inquiry because I have an upcoming deadline for another program).

grantman Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 What about UW Seattle?! Hold out hope! Thanks for the support, but Washington just back to me, and as expected it was a rejection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoliSciPirate Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Thanks for the support, but Washington just back to me, and as expected it was a rejection. I was just rejected from UW Seattle as well. And Notre Dame. So unless I get good news from Georgetown or UConn, it looks like I will either be at Washington State or Oregon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CairoKid Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Thanks for the support, but Washington just back to me, and as expected it was a rejection. I was just rejected, too. Even if Georgetown and GWU get back to me with good news, neither will be funded. Looks like I have to go through this all again next year.

PoliSciPirate Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Yeah. I just got an email from the head of the admissions committee saying Washington had 283 applicants for 12 spots, and budget cuts limited the number of spots they had this year. In case anyone was wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only wish I was smart enough to consider doing a Fulbright, but I guess not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only wish I was smart enough to consider doing a Fulbright, but I guess not. Thanks. I'm sorry to hear about yours, too. I do hope the Fulbright comes through, though I do have some potential Master's programs... so long as they get back to me with good news. Ehh. They'd have to be fully funded. But don't be too down on yourself. I know I'm pretty upset, and it doesn't help having my s.o. moving onto bigger and better things next year without me. But I hope you're planning on trying again next year. Do you have a game plan in the meantime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also looking at jobs within the federal government. In terms of applying next season, I am not sure if I will, especially if I land a decent job with hopes for advancement.

Thank you both for your kind words they really mean a lot to me. @Max Power: While I appreciate you calling me the nicest person in the forum, but I am sure there are others who might be more worthy of the title. Also, for some reason I thought you got your new name from the Simpsons, but I find it humorous you got it from a hair dryer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apro24 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 This is my first post on here, but I've been following everything for the last month. The only school I'm still waiting to hear back from is UW-Seattle (and Harvard but I already know that fate), and I was just wondering if anyone knows what the deal is up there. I know they sent out rejections last night, but I did not receive one. I have not received any information about being on a "wait-list" either. Did anyone else not get a rejection last night?

Apill Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) Congrats on GWU. It's great to know that there's still hope for acceptances from some places. Does anyone know what's going on with Georgetown? I haven't heard back yet. Edited March 6, 2012 by Apill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
