stephanie.ms.antunes Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Is anyone else going to be posting in this forum until April? That's when I'm supposed to hear back...Come on March...you can fly by!
stell4 Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Should one ever feel life is flying by too fast, simply apply to grad school. I never knew the days could crawl by at such a painstakingly slow pace. 1 rejection, 6 to hear from. I am already going crazy with the wait now, I am not sure how I am going to make it to April if I don't hear anything sooner
clrob002 Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 I applied to the MA Writing program at Johns Hopkins and it's been over a month of waiting. Same goes for the MFA program at University of Baltimore...I know that the MFA program at Hopkins is practically impossible to get in to, but I'm hoping that the MA program accepts more students. I'm having such a rough time dealing with this last semester of undergrad at Goucher and not knowing where I'm going to be at this time next year. I feel so helpless. All of this waiting is painful, especially if it ends up I'm rejected from both. I could only apply to these two colleges because I need to stay in-state and there were no other schools in the area that had my major. Ughhh.. Ronak Dave 1
Ronak Dave Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 When I see decisions posted by students on the results and surveys, I jus get my nerves on ! Have applied to Univ of Texas - M.D. Anderson, UT- Southwester, USC, Rutgers and OSU... Havent heard from them since mid-Novemeber. Its making me cranky, checking mails >5 tines a day. *Sigh*...Hope the silence breaks with a party... Ronak Dave 1
TheMonkeyOnMyBack Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Who knew that you could reduce a well adjusted happy adult in to a nervous mess with nothing but a couple innocent seeming non-informational status checks on websites. I am slowly going crazy, each new email notification on my phone sends my stomach on a wild ride only to find a group-on advert. Not to mention the exquisite torture that is going to the mail box. AHHHHHH I just want to know. Lt. Mango 1
stackoverflow Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 still waiting on 8 schools, already got rejections from two. the fact that I haven't even heard about interviews yet scares me.
nicoleoley Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Still waiting on all four schools I applied to. I emailed all programs inquiring as to possible decision and notification dates... Hoping to hear back soon. I completely understand the frustration as I'm feeling it myself. Everyday at mail time my heart starts to pound only to be let down with the influx of jcpenney catalogs and appointment reminder cards. Ugghhh so frustrating. I'm also hoping that maybe my program is somewhat obscure and small that it's possibly one of the last on the list to reach the graduate school admissions board... Here's hoping. I just want to know!!! Applied: BU, BC, UMASS Amherst, UVM MAT Latin and Classical Humanities - anyone else?
rowlf Posted March 1, 2012 Author Posted March 1, 2012 I'm going to send the school that has rejections and acceptances on the results survey the following email: Dear graduate coordinator, I know you already gave me a timeline and said I would hear by mid-April, but we both know that wasn't a real timeline for acceptances. Several people have posted on Grad Cafe. So, if they have heard already, why haven't I??? That's not fair! Sincerely, Rowlf stackoverflow and deleteuser_184321 2

cokohlik Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Well, it's the end of the first day of March and ... I still have heard nothing.
Marius Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 I would prefer to have heard nothing. It's better than being insulted.
cokohlik Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Hang in there everyone. Here's a little something to take you mind off of things for exactly 11 seconds. That was the best!! What a smart little cat.
