oseirus Posted April 10, 2012 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oseirus Posted April 10, 2012 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sociologo Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I'm convinced that there is something wrong with my email. Paranoia at its finest. mmary1988 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall Posted April 10, 2012 Share 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.

AuntyOwl Posted April 12, 2012 Share 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!

AuntyOwl Posted April 12, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoggyAnhinga Posted April 12, 2012 Share 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 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sociologo Posted April 13, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sansao Posted April 13, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaGirl Posted April 13, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

California Posted April 17, 2012 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sokipdx Posted April 17, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lkuhnhein Posted April 17, 2012 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
