katiecarroll4 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I've been waiting to hear back from "the one" program. I've had my heart set on this school for years, and this is my second time applying. I've been doing my best to be patient with waiting, but like others I have read in forums, felt like the unknown really took it's toll on me this week. I've been expecting a decision for the past 3 weeks (as heard from POI), so it was disheartening when yesterday when I came home to the empty mail box again. I told myself that if I hadn't heard by yesterday, I would call the admissions office. I did and asked about my status - I was asked for my name and put on hold for a couple minutes. She came back on and said decisions had been mailed, and I should find out by the end of the week. My gut reaction was that she didn't want to tell me over the phone I had been rejected. An hour later I checked the results survey and saw the first acceptance to the program. There is a chance I am wrong, but by intuition says that isn't the case. A while back my POI said that if I wasn't accepted, he would check my file to give me pointers. I guess my question is this: should I email him prematurely? I don't know how long the department holds on to applicants files (including my hard copy portfolio), and if I have indeed been rejected, I'm not sure when they would toss the information. Thanks!

go3187 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I would wait. I seriously doubt they'll get rid of applications today (way too soon, imo), and nothing is going to happen over the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katiecarroll4 Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 Sorry, I just realized a typo in my post - they said by the end of the month, not the end of this week. And I thanks for replying, I didn't even think about the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new_to_kin Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 They very likely have a policy not to tell you over the phone - I mean there is so much info if you're accepted - support etc. So just wait another couple of days and then you'll know for sure.
