abj08001 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Does anyone know how long schools with rolling admission take to get back? EEK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthropy Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I submitted 6 of 8 this morning. I'll submit the last two when I get a chance to rework my statements at the weekend. Then I'm going to try to forget about all of this. No thinking about ways I could have improved my statement. No worrying about what's going to happen in spring. These things have taken over my life for so long now. I cannot wait for freedom and the head space to properly focus on my work and being a person again. Come on, weekend...

starstuff Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 The freedom of finally having them in is almost overwhelming. Today I finished sending in the last of my 11 PhD applications, and for one who typically procrastinates, this is a HUGE relief. Aside from waiting for my letter writers to finish submitting my recommendations, all I can do is hope and pray that my applications aren't trashed right away due to low undergrad GPA and that I don't have to go through this process again next year. Anyhow, congrats to all who have gotten this far! Any ideas for a new obsession to occupy my spare time during the waiting period? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanmor Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Just received my first interview invite from a POI at one of my programs. The program app deadline isn't till the 15th of December. I'm eligible for a large school fellowship that they want to nominate me for, but I'll need to retake the GREs to increase my score a bit. Sigh. At least I know I'm wanted somewhere now.

baume7 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Hi everyone! New to this forum. But anyway, I'm applying for Msc in Management to 7 schools, all in Europe. Submitted all my apps already as I wanted to send them in by Round 1. Had an interview with IE Business School Madrid last Tuesday and got an interview invite for the 5 SAI schools in France (Audencia, Skema, HEC, ESCP, and EM Lyon) which will be held next week in Hong Kong. Currently waiting for an interview invite to my last school, ESADE Barcelona. My status on the site reads "Documents received. Pending Admissions Committee."

gellert Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I'm waiting it out for the NSF GRFP, and hopefully by Sunday for all of my schools as well. Fingers crossed! I'm anxious already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckBoy Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Also, last year when I was applying, one of my recommenders NEVER submitted the letter, even after the reminder! luckily I still had 4 others who did, one of whom happened to be the advisor of a professor at the school I am now attending! So it all can work out even with a flakey recommender (as long as the school allows more than the "required" number)! Shoot, that's scaring me. I'm going to talk to my last recommender this week. I know he's bloody busy but it's so close to deadlines! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pheonixx Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Submitted my 14 applications last week and now I'm in for the long wait. It's nice to get them out of the way early but I can't stop checking the forums. I wish I could just skip forward a few months to interview season. It's going to be stressful but at least something will be happening! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newlbs Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Finally finalized my 12 applications. One transcript and GRE score for some school are still on the way. Hopefully everything goes well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karajan Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Haven't submitted anything yet, waiting on my one referee who is being incredible slow/non-communicative/potentially without internet access... He's stressing me out so freaking much!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoMoreABD Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Just submitted to Berkeley the other day. Feels weird. I'm moving between feeling hopeful and wondering why did I ever think I stand a chance... Trying to concentrate on all the other apps I'm about to submit, and on the referees who only have two weeks to send their recommendations and haven't done it yet.

che psyra psyra Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Just submitted - eek! Can't believe there's nothing to do but wait... Good luck, everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clover123 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I'm almost ready to submit my app to cornell this weekend. One of my old college profs is freaking me out. She's so slow with writing the damn recommendation. eeek! I've been calling/emailing her every week to remind her Hope she doesn't get too pissed off! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckBoy Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 FINALLY! I was about to go talk to my recommender and I started getting notifications that my reference letters were being submitted. Saved me the trip. Now the second waiting game begins... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onthegreatbayou Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Irish graduate here. Got my GRE scores today and have finished applying to three programs. Applied for a PhD in Psychology at Georgetown, A PhD in Human Development at Penn State, and an M.A. in Psychology at the College of William and Mary. I'm hoping to get into W&M. If I don't hear anything back I might apply for some M.A.s in Ireland but the Irish application system is dramatically less arduous (and a lot less efficient!) than the American system so I don't have to think about writing another statement of purpose for a long time!

NoMoreABD Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Since I applied to Berkeley I keep having nightmares that there's something wrong with my app, or I forgot something, or something like that. I'm trying not to think about it and concentrate on the apps I'm still finalizing. But the fact that the deadline is in 9 days and 2/3 of my LORs haven't been submitted yet also doesn't help...

mallorn Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I've sent the final payments for 3 applications but still waiting on one of my LoRs, who is out of the country for a semester but still was enthusiastic about writing me a letter. Kind of freaking out since two are due two weeks from now, but her reply to my follow-up email was still warm and stated that she was working on submissions to two schools. I got all excited until I checked and saw that the schools she was working on are not the ones due on December 15 but rather due in January. *facepalm* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanmor Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I'm starting to geek out. My first due date is Thurs and two letter writers have no turned in their recs yet. They both said they would in a response to my friendly reminder email two weeks ago. I hope they don't make me wait until the day its due, I may go crazy.

litjust Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Two applications submitted, and only two more to go! Ryanmor, I understand waiting on the recs. I'm in the same boat, but I'm trying to stay calm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clover123 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 my prof FINALLY sent in my recommendation 2 DAYS before the date. Seriously, what's up with them sometimes. I was freaking out, but glad she got it done. Now to hound another one who seems to be taking his own sweet time too. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
