KJO Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 So I have been accepted to UGA (yay)! Soon after my accepted letter, I received another letter stating that I needed to secure my spot by Feb. 22nd. I am still waiting to hear from other schools and also haven't been notified if I have been awarded an assistantship. The letter from UGA didn't say anything about placing a deposit once accepting my offer of admissions. Does anyone know if UGA requires a deposit and also when we might hear about assistantships from them? Thanks!
JamieH Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Gradschoolmom- good luck! I may be in the fall cohort- I applied for an earlier cohort incase I have to defer for a session. My husband is active duty and we may be moving during the summer.

Hopefully you'll hear soon Were you the one that posted in the results forum? I have been wondering if I'd hear via phone, letter, or email. I've been logging in daily and it still says my application is under review. Guess no news is good news for now!

I was wondering if that was correct...... When did you submit your application?

I submitted it on Dec 10, but it wasn't posted as 'complete' until Dec. 27 due to the holiday, I think.. How about you? I called a week ago, they said it takes about 6-8 weeks...this is my 7th week..

My stuff all got in right on the deadline (12/15) (my recommenders were slow). I'm not sure if it helped, but I had made a visit to WashU in October, so I had talked to them before.

I submitted by Dec 14th and received a confirmation email from the department on Jan 4 stating that my application was complete and that the Admissions Committee anticipates releasing admissions and scholarship decisions around mid-February. Come on, Feb 15th!! lol

I've heard it's beautiful and the people are very friendly. Hoping to have a chance to visit in March...assuming all goes well with my app. =\

MH0709 Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Got into NYU!!! For anyone who is worried or losing hope because it's been a while, my application was complete as of 11/23 and my status only changed to "under review " after I called them 11 days ago. So it took quite a while. I got a $15,000 scholarship and I have 4 weeks to reserve my spot. NYU is my top choice....SO excited! Good luck to everyone! Perky ash 1
