anxious_aspirant Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 [head in hands] Though having been through a month of wait-list-purgatory now (coupled with my own indecisiveness), this kind of seems not that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isidore Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Just received an e-mail stating that the Graduate Program is still "very interested" in my application, but that I am on their waiting list for a teaching assistantship (they do not admit students without funding). Perhaps this means that those who did get a TA will be hearing very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutFinch Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Hope a TA position opens up for you! That said... Thank goodness! Some word! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mono411 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 The same email came to me Isidore, but I already accepted rutgers's offer, so I let them know that. Hope things turn out ok for you! aw crepe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isidore Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Did your status change when you login online, Isidore? My status still says that my application is under committee review. I will most likely be accepting another offer, but I'm still weighing my options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent_G Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Well, it wouldn't make any sense for them to notify waitlists before acceptances, so I suppose I can expect my rejection notice soon. Hopefully they don't wait a month like Harvard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutFinch Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Don't give up yet! I know that many of the schools my SO applied to for med school have been sending out waitlists before acceptances or rejections. I don't know what the logic behind that might be, but it isn't unheard of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutFinch Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 MA's should hear back very soon! I just got an acceptance email today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystalleem Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Got an unsolicited email today that said, "Right now your file is pending. We are finishing up our admissions process for the fall and you should be getting a letter soon from the Grad School." That means what exactly?

ferhin Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I see two rejections on the results forum for the PhD program. I haven't received anything yet, and my status has not changed on the web application portal.

Silent_G Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Just got my rejection. Email to check the website, and then when I logged on there was a link at the very bottom stating my decision was available. This was my last hope for a PhD admit this year, but oh well. I'll be in an MA and hopefully strengthening my application for next season. Good luck to all those waiting to hear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering what others are doing, because I didn't know if it was a good idea to reapply when I don't have any grades to show for the MA I'll have in progress. Also, just the time involved in applying...Curious. (And add me to the rejection train.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, just the time involved in applying...Curious. (And add me to the rejection train.) I haven't decided that yet either. I'm not as worried about not having MA grades to show as I am about having a decent writing sample ready. I suppose I will check with my professors once I'm in the program, but I'm guessing it wouldn't be such a great idea to resubmit the same writing sample, even if I do edit it significantly between now and then. Now that I have all my admissions decisions, I will email my LOR's and I will probably ask their opinions as well. Part of me feels like it can't hurt to reapply this year, but then part of me wonders if maybe it would. Will it hurt my application for Fall 2014 if I receive another set of rejections in reapplying for Fall 2013? It's certainly a dilemma that's weighing pretty heavily on my mind at the moment. Good luck on your decisions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
