rowlf Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 With all the responses rolling in, and a very active Decisions, Decisions page, I think we--those of us who have not heard anything from anywhere--should support each other and let each other know that we're not alone. (I hope I'm not alone at least.) Some of my schools have both rejections and acceptances on the results survey. The few programs that explicitly told me when to expect a notice said the end of February. I have applied to all US schools with application deadlines mostly in December. ...and I have heard nothing! mresene 1
H20gal Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 I feel your pain! Although, due to applying to grad school sort of being a last minute decision, I didn't really get my applications out until January, I still was hoping to have heard SOMETHING by now. All I've gotten are E-mails verifying the fact the schools got my applications. I have gotten a few open house invitations, but these seem to be for all applicants, so I'm not sure how I should read into those. You are not alone! I try to keep telling myself that very thing, but it feels awfully lonely, haha. All I can say is, I hope these next few weeks fly by and are wrapped up with some good news : )
Benjamin Lucas Easterwood Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 You are not alone! I haven't heard anything about my two application statuses except that they have been received. I'm assuming I'll know by the first full week of March, though. Hopefully no later than the second week.
We regret to inform you Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) Nothing here. But I did send an email to the head of one program last week and he told me today to expect a decision by the end of this week.

MonkeyPants Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 *raises hand* Nothing. Though the programs I applied to said that responses don't go out until late Feb/Early March, so there's that. And I haven't seen anything from those programs in the results survey. Just quietly going crazy in my office...!
Tabz Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Nothing here, but the two places I applied to have late Feb/Early March acceptances so I'm wait... *checks email even though there's no school today*
applyingfromtexas Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 I haven't heard anything either. My impression is that most of the programs I applied to are going to send out notifications this week.
Heather Hoffman Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 I haven't heard anything, will definitely know for sure from one of my programs by Friday. Pretty sure it's a rejection as well. Sniff.
bellefast Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Only heard bad news. But this week, and next week could be coming up Milhouse for me! Other than that, I have been going nuts over the wait.
jdennis2 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Heard from my 2nd choice a few weeks back got an interview. But I've heard NOTHING from my first choice and it is driving me insane. I check my email and my snail mail every 20 minutes o.O sympathy to all it's not fun.
hurricane0218 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 No news is good news, right? I am hopeful that I will hear something soon.
Heather Hoffman Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Is it wrong that I walked out of a meeting tonight at 6:30 saying to myself, "Yup, 4 rejections for me by the end of day tomorrow." I really think this week a lot of us "heard nothing" people will hear something. I just feel it in the air. Here's hoping I'm wrong about my predictions...
stephanie.ms.antunes Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I haven't heard anything yet either! Probably won't until the end of March/beginning of April. All I want is to hear back from one early....even my last choice! Is that too much to ask?? Blaah! When are you guys expecting to hear by?
misgengen Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I haven't heard anything yet either! Probably won't until the end of March/beginning of April. All I want is to hear back from one early....even my last choice! Is that too much to ask?? Blaah! When are you guys expecting to hear by? same, that's Canada for you. and that means at least two mos of waiting
Christa Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 me neither applied to a bunch of schools in the US and in Canada and some of my schools have been notifying people for the past 2-3 weeks and I heard nothing from them I'm hoping that it's not a rejection awaiting me when I finally hear back
MJ5 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 you're not alone! I applied to USC on December 1st and I havent heard anything from them yet. It's been such a long wait! not feeling so good about my chances :/
rowlf Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 Another day of deafening silence... It sounds like a lot of you are expecting to hear this week. Good luck! I wonder how many people will fall off the haven't-heard-a-peep train this week.
civicblade Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 I've applied to University of British Columbia and have heard nothing yet. Is it normal for Canadian University to get back on the result only in March/April?
fenderpete Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Still three weeks before I'll hear anything...
surefire Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Only heard bad news. But this week, and next week could be coming up Milhouse for me! Other than that, I have been going nuts over the wait. bellefast, I'm sending positive thoughts to everyone in the GC Forums, but you get extra well-wishing because your icon pic makes me UNREASONABLY HAPPY! I hope that all things Milhouse-friendly come forth for you this week!
pikachu Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 I didn't hear anything yet too. Though it's clearly written on the website that results will be in the beginning of March. Clearly for everybody, but not for pikachu. I still wait like crazy since beginning of Feb But guys, we are learning to wait It's a very good thing.
Akulchit Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Spoke with the department secretary in the program I applied to and she said Masters applicants (i.e. ME) get evaluated after PhD applicants (who they're still working on), and the results will come out sometime in March. Regardless, I'm still checking email/website/survey results nonstop. So far only one post on the survey from my program... and it's a waitlisted PhD candidate posted on 2/20.... I wish I knew what "sometime" in March meant... *ripping hair out*
hurricane0218 Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Still haven't heard anything... Ughhh
obrera Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 If I don't hear soon I am going to go crazy, I think. Anyone else? All my friends have heard...
We regret to inform you Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 today i finally heard back from somewhere. a funded acceptance to my safety school and a rejection from my dream school.
