oseirus Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 Thank you! It was done last night and now the real waiting game begins *fingers crossed* fingers crossed, wood knocked on and of course rabbit's foot purchased!
oseirus Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 Yup, FSU & FAMU for Architecture and Urban Planning The waiting is killing me. Feels like my soul is beginning to rot out.. Well once Thursday rolls around just go on down to Bullwinkles (if it's still there) to fix what ails you!
sociologo Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 I'm convinced that there is something wrong with my email. Paranoia at its finest. mmary1988 1
Marshall Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 I'm convinced that there is something wrong with my email. Paranoia at its finest. LMAO, you're not the only one. I had to comment on this because I can relate so much! I actually unsubscribed to the few email services/companies I had sending emails to the account I use for schools and business so I wouldn't jump and get excited every time I got an email about compasses being on sale.

mirandaw Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 I was checking my spam folder for a while there... ohmygod I havent been checking my spam folder. (but no, really, this made my heart skip a beat)
sansao Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 Ha. I never in my life thought I would check my spam folder this much. For both of my email accounts, no less.
sociologo Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 I like the idea of unsubscribing to email services. Groupon drives me nuts. cafeomuerte 1
oseirus Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 Ha. I never in my life thought I would check my spam folder this much. For both of my email accounts, no less. I feel like there's a joke about the University of Hawaii to be made here
AuntyOwl Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 The agony is over! Yesterday afternoon I received an email from the director of graduate admission offering me admission with assistantship! Hooray! Wish you all the very best. Good luck! And if something does not work the way you would like, do not give up! Keep on fighting! This was my third application attempt (not to this institution, though). Stay strong because someone will understand your real value. Cheers! cafeomuerte, sevyn731 and FoggyAnhinga 3

AuntyOwl Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 Big congratulations to you!!! Waiting until the very end does pay off after all Congrats again! Thanks!! Yes, I guess it pays off. But still, they should not make us suffer this much. Wish you the best of luck for those 3 you are still waiting to hear from.
FoggyAnhinga Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) Thanks!! Yes, I guess it pays off. But still, they should not make us suffer this much. Wish you the best of luck for those 3 you are still waiting to hear from. Thanks, I guess I should update my signature sometime, haha... I actually heard from all of the 8 schools early this week, and few days ago I finally made a decision to accept one of the admission offers But I agree, it's cruel for many grad schools to make us suffer this much.

sokipdx Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 So for these of us sitting in purgatory on waitlists, should we expect to hear something today since April 15 is a Sunday?
sansao Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 So for these of us sitting in purgatory on waitlists, should we expect to hear something today since April 15 is a Sunday? I cannot tell you how much I hope that is the case. sevyn731 1
sociologo Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Ehhh maybe. Some schools are still doing April 15, even though it's a Sunday. Others just bumped it to April 16. Hopefully good news will come soon for all of us.
sansao Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Yikes, essentially waitlisted at my other top choice. That just leaves one (unless a miracle happens). I may allow myself to freak out a little now.
TeaGirl Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Yikes, essentially waitlisted at my other top choice. That just leaves one (unless a miracle happens). I may allow myself to freak out a little now. Same here. One waitlist, and the other... well, I have a small reason to hope, but at this point who knows? The absolute silence is unnerving. I had a mini breakdown a week or so ago. I may have another one soon though... I'm trying to mentally prep myself not to be too discouraged if nothing comes through and tell myself that there's next year. It's hard.

Gneiss1 Posted April 14, 2012 Posted April 14, 2012 in case you need inspiration My boyfriend found that hilarious (as did I) but he wanted to ensure I let you know "no calls and no emails make me something something" lol... oseirus and whirlpool4 2
California Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Wow glad to know I'm not the only one in this predicament! I have two schools I have yet to get a decision from: Georgetown and Columbia. I know I'm wait-listed at Georgetown (found out at the end of March), and I guess I'm supposed to find out about that soon. But I haven't heard a peep from Columbia, and they've both accepted and rejected people in my program according to the results survey. So nerve-wracking! I should call to find out what the heck is going on but I desperately want to hold onto that last glimmer of hope... Good luck to all, I hope everyone gets into all their top choices! Based on the other posts I've read, sometimes no news is good news so keep your chin up!
sokipdx Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 It was a quiet weekend for me too. I'm only waiting to hear back from one program, but when they waitlisted me they said "all decisions will be made by April 15," which has obviously passed. And Patriots Day is a pseudo-holiday in Massachusetts so I didn't hear anything yesterday. So that means I'll definitely hear something today. Right? Right!? Just as I was about to submit this, I got an email with the decision. I got in off the waitlist. So happy right now. Can't believe it. Good luck to everyone else sociologo 1
AuntyOwl Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 in case you need inspiration LOOLL! I am sorry for laughing, guys but Homer is just awesome! Good one Oseirus!
lkuhnhein Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Anyone heard from Vanderbilt? The website states due to the increase in applicants, the process is taking longer. Is there still a chance?
