i/o student Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 I applied to: Wright State (had a phone interview with my POI and am awaiting his final decision) Central Michigan ("not far down" on the waiting list) University of Houston Texas A&M Florida International Central Florida Missouri St. Louis St. Louis University Clemson Albany SUNY North Carolina State Northern Illinois Cornell ILR How can I find out my position on the waiting list? Should I contact the university and ask them ? It may be a stupid question, it's just that I am not very familiar with the admission process in US.
ATJacks Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 I applied to: Texas A&M Colorado State University of Tulsa Kansas State Saint Louis University Northern Illinois I have not heard from any of these schools yet.
Gibbas Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 I applied to: Texas A&M Colorado State University of Tulsa Kansas State Saint Louis University Northern Illinois I have not heard from any of these schools yet. Colorado State told me they would make their final decisions about the first week of February, so at least you have a timeline for one of those schools.
ATJacks Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Colorado State told me they would make their final decisions about the first week of February, so at least you have a timeline for one of those schools. Thanks! That is good to hear.

It may be a stupid question, it's just that I am not very familiar with the admission process in US. Yeah I just emailed the Admissions Committee Chair (it's Stephen Colarelli for the Ph.D. program, not sure if it's the same for the masters program) and asked him. He was very nice by the way.
Caitlinelise10 Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Whoever posted in the results thread about the interview with Wright State on 1/27, would you mind telling me who your POI is?
Jameslv08 Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 I applied to (all Ph.D): UMSL SLU UCF USF FIT FIU Most say "referred" or "in review" on the websites.

IOPsych87 Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 Would the person who posted about the interview with GWU please PM me your POI? Thanks!
ILuvPsych2013 Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 Got email from UCF today: Accepted Congrats!
Caitlinelise10 Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Accepted to Wright State!!!!!!!! It was my first choice! SOOOO EXCITED!!! Sarapsy 1
Gibbas Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 I missed a call from my POI from Colorado State. Called her back and got her voicemail, still no return call. Time to spend the weekend pulling my hair out in anxiety. My POI from GA Tech called me yesterday and told me I was accepted, they just made their decsicions on Wednesday, I'm not sure if anyone else was waiting on them.
Quader Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) Congrats on the good news from GA Tech! No sense worrying at this point, I'm sure you'll get a call back on Monday. Edited February 4, 2012 by Quader
gradguy Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 I applied to five schools, all phD programs: Auburn Clemson Virginia Tech Wright State NCSU I haven't heard anything so far. I guess I'm not doing too good.
Jameslv08 Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 No worries Gradguy, I have applied to 6 and if it were not for me calling one of them (UCF) and finding out I was on the wait list I wouldn't have any answers yet either. I-O kinda sucks on the part that many programs do not send out their decisions till way after other fields.
Gibbas Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 James, are you from the Florida area or just happen to have a lot schools in FL your applying too? gradguy, what James said is true. If you see other people have heard things I would call or email, or just sending a polite email to ask when they think decisions would be made is fine. I've done this with most of the programs I applied to and found out useful information pretty quickly.
Jameslv08 Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 I currently live in Las Vegas but applied to programs in Florida for 4 reasons: 1) the fit was there 2) I used to live in West Palm Beach area and miss it 3) my sister-in-law lives in Orlando so my wife would be happy 4) I hate clode weather!
gradguy Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Thanks James and Gibbas for the advice. I don't think I will call any programs unless it gets into March. If I am going to get rejected, I would like to keep the dream alive for as long as possible. There are so many variables that can work for or against you in these types of decisions that i would not have any clue how it will go.
