PhDseeker2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) Hey Ghollo,  I too applied to George Mason's Masters program. I received an email a couple of weeks ago informing me that that I was on the "short list", but haven't heard anything since. I called on Friday and someone in the school's admissions office told me that they had yet to make their final decisions.   Thanks for the reply. I actually got my rejection from GMU this morning. I'm pretty disappointed about this one, actually. Mainly because I thought this was one of the programs where I actually had a shot. Oh well, you live and you learn. I really hope you get in!  PhD Clemson--rejected Auburn--assumed rejection University of Houston--assumed rejection Florida Institute of Technology--waitlisted  Masters George Mason--rejected Radford--pending Middle Tennessee--pending  If anyone else is hearing anything, or has been in contact with Auburn, Houston, Radford, or Middle Tennessee, please share your experience. Thanks  Good luck everyone. And may the odds be ever in your favor. Edited March 28, 2013 by ghollo2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't had luck finding out where I am on the waitlist. Hopefully high! It'd be good to have at least one acceptance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bionica Von Takedown Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Question.. I talked to a program yesterday that I am on the waitlist and they indicated that the April 15th dead line only pertains to initial offers, not wait list offers. I did not want to sound like a bimbo so I did not ask for clarification, but does that mean that wait listers may receive offers AFTER April 15th? Ugghh.. The waiting is killing me!

gradorbust Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Yea, some people have posted acceptances as late as may. I know it sucks but I personally said screw it and accepted basically as soon as I got into one I was happy with. Glad I did because everything about it felt and feels good.

rocketbird Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Hi Ghollo,  I have an Auburn acceptance and just had a really good interview with Old Dominion. I should be finding out this week, but right now I think I'm preferring ODU to Auburn, so don't give up hope. USF is the only one I'm still waiting on, but realistically I don't think I'm going to come off the waitlist. I had some correspondence with Dr. Spector and Dr. Coovert there, but Dr. Allen is the best fit for me at USF and she is (was?) the president of SIOP so something tells me she's not going to take a student with a 3.4 GPA no matter how good my GRE scores are... I think if I get accepted to ODU and the funding is as good as my interviewer suggested, I'm going to attend there instead of Auburn. Could make a decision as soon as the end of next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the odds aren't in the favor of us waitlisters, but it does happen, so you may get to work with Dr. Allen yet!  I wanted to ask Auburn more questions about the waitlist, but they'd been so gracious about answering all my other bothersome questions, I didn't want to push. I'm crossing my fingers for Auburn but trying not to get my hopes up. Thanks for letting me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketbird Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Nope... UGA and BGSU have been completely silent, which is ridiculous given that it's April 2nd. I will be making my decision without considering their input, most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketbird Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Yes, I contacted all the departments about two weeks ago and they said they hadn't made a decision yet. I'm already accepted into Old Dominion and am 99% sure I'm going to go there, but I want to give it a couple more days to make sure nothing deal-breaking comes up in my research. I'm having a surgery on the 9th so I want to decide before then. Don't wanna make a life-changing decision while hopped up on painkillers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhDseeker2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Was going to apply to UGA, but couldn't even get the people to acknowledge me. Didn't feel the need to waste my app fee on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildflower0105 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Any news from NCSU? Â have any more acceptances gone out? or does anyone have any information on Dr. Pond's waitlist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bionica Von Takedown Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Hey Wildflower: I too am waitlisted at NCSU & I spoke with the coordinator and he said that typically (at least at NCSU) waitlist offers do not go out until AFTER April 15th. Not too add to the drama of having to wait for ever..lol.. He said round 1 has untill April 15 then round 2's will go out. I know that another board member has declined a spot so, I guess we will see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This whole waitlist purgatory these schools have put me into is really getting annoying. Is one offer so much to ask for?
