TexanLex Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 MA candidates at Michigan should be hearing back now, I'd assume, since I received word last Tuesday. It'll be any day now for others! Good luck to all!
yumpeh12 Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Did Vanderbilt send a decision about IEPM already? Well I have mine...so at least some.
hugitout Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 I've applied to master's programs to five schools: Penn, Columbia, Vanderbilt, UT-Austin, and Texas A&M. I've heard back from Penn, Columbia (just a couple of hours ago), and Vanderbilt. Good luck to all!

Metapod Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 futureedstudent, did you check your application page for columbia? i'm too scared to check mine...
PhDreams Posted February 16, 2012 Author Posted February 16, 2012 futureedstudent, did you check your application page for columbia? i'm too scared to check mine... not since last week. i was debating whether i wanted to check it after hugitout posted the acceptance.
PhDreams Posted February 16, 2012 Author Posted February 16, 2012 I logged in and it only said that my app was complete and that "Applications that are complete by our early application deadlines should receive an admission decision by mid-March via email."
Metapod Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 where does it say that the letters will be mailed by march?
Metapod Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 I'm not sure if i'm looking in the right page...
Metapod Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 wait...how did hugitout get accepted to Penn on the 5th of Jan?
PhDreams Posted February 16, 2012 Author Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) wait...how did hugitout get accepted to Penn on the 5th of Jan? Penn's decisions are rolling. Some people got decisions last year. They make a decision on your app about 4 weeks from the day your app is complete. I should get a decision any day now. Friday makes 4 weeks for me from when I got their email. Edited February 16, 2012 by FutureEdStudent12
PhDreams Posted February 16, 2012 Author Posted February 16, 2012 where does it say that the letters will be mailed by march? TC website > Admissions > Decision Notification
Metapod Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 this is ridic. but has phd decisions come out for columbia yet?
PhDreams Posted February 16, 2012 Author Posted February 16, 2012 this is ridic. but has phd decisions come out for columbia yet? No idea. I'm trying not to think about it and my Netflix decided to stop working. -.- Seriously?!
Metapod Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 I know...i was watching friends and suddenly the site doesnt work anymore. Coincidence? i think not.
Metapod Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 futureed, where is the decisions page for columbia?
hugitout Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) Congrats!! How did you get your acceptance from Columbia? Email? i received an email this morning from teachers college telling me to log onto the online application. under the "Application for Admission" heading there was a subheading "Decision Status" where there was the link "Your application decision is now available online." I clicked on it and read the decision letter. wait...how did hugitout get accepted to Penn on the 5th of Jan? as someone else mentioned already, Penn makes decisions on a rolling basis (for their master's candidates). i submitted my application on 11/27/2011, but one of my recommenders didn't submit her LOR until 12/7/2011. and i received a decision on 1/5/2012. so...four weeks.

PhDreams Posted February 16, 2012 Author Posted February 16, 2012 i received an email this morning from teachers college telling me to log onto the online application. under the "Application for Admission" heading there was a subheading "Decision Status" where there was the link "Your application decision is now available online." I clicked on it and read the decision letter. So, on the right side where it says "Application" it went from you app is complete to an actual link on the Next step tc webpage?
PhDreams Posted February 16, 2012 Author Posted February 16, 2012 Does anyone know why Higher Ed programs make their decisions first? Do they get less apps? Do they have their deadlines sooner than other depts?
michigan girl Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 ^ I can't speak for all schools, but it seems higher education master's programs don't operate on rolling admissions and are popular in demand (especially at top-ranked programs).
PhDreams Posted February 16, 2012 Author Posted February 16, 2012 Have you heard back from all your schools, Michigan Girl?
acooper Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 yesterday I received a phone call from a University that I was rejected for the Phd program. They were calling to tell me that my application file was currently being reviewed for the masters program. Does that mean that I am in? or I have high chances to be rejected? It was really difficult to received one rejection from the Phd program and I am trying not to created any expectation, but I always ask myself if they could be mean enough to call me saying that I was considered for the master and then reject me. please, please someone call give any information about a similar situation.
