heulwen Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Thank you very very much czesc !! I'll keep all these in mind - actually, they sound rather similar to my own survival strategies here. Basically: don't eat out, use public transportation, exploit your student identity card to the maximum. CarrieLe5 - I received an e-mail with instructions to check the website, and the link to my decision letter was there (somewhere in the bottom of the status page). Did you get any e-mail of this sort?
Goingcrazy Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Anyone heard anything on UVA or William and Mary?

I love NYC and hope you'll enjoy it there.

heulwen Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Thank you ! I'm really excited about this! Well, if you haven't received that official letter of rejection yet, I assume you are on their waitlist or maybe you are admitted ! Best of luck & fingers crossed ! CarrieLe5 1

He replied saying that I would receive an official notice in the next week or two.

Yep. I emailed him yesterday and he replied this morning. I'll submit the news when I receive official word. In the meantime, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!!
vtstevie Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Thanks! I caved and sent him an e-mail myself just now in a fit of impulsive excitement...so hopefully I'll have good news by tomorrow morning CarrieLe5 1
PhD or Bust Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Anyone want to own up to the Tulane admit?
vtstevie Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 when it comes to e-mailing DGS people to try and get info, what approach to you folks take? or do you avoid it entirely?

I have been, but I'm inching closer and closer to doing this, so I can finally start focusing on writing my MA thesis...
vtstevie Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 yeah, I've been able to with two schools so far since i know people who have gotten unofficial emails (in which case i ask if not having received one means I should not expect one), but the waiting is killing me on my other schools and I just want to get this over with...problem is, I can't figure a good way to ask outside of just, "hey I'm impatient, can you just tell me if I'm in already?!"

vtstevie Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 hey if anyone else here applied to the University of Maine, I just got word that the committee made their recommendations to the graduate school today and that we should expect notifications "very soon" !!!
bkify76 Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 I was the Tulane admit. I don't really have any info for you other than what I posted in the results, though. Admitted students days are March 18-20. I got an email from the DGS but haven't heard from any of my POIs. I did not contact the program during the admissions process. I also just noticed that the stipend is $22,500 not $21,500. Hope that helps! PhD or Bust 1

stillalivetui Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 I wish the UW would just break my heart already. Anyone want to claim those UW admits for the sake of my curiosity?
CarrieLe5 Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 The University of Delaware has started to contact their admits. Best wishes for those who applied to the program!!!
