Lilac13 Posted February 25, 2013 Author Posted February 25, 2013 Yay! Congratulations! SUSE is fantastic . Thank you!!! I am thrilled Guys, it's this week... *flips* *freaks out* Good luck to those of you waiting on decisions this week!! I will keep my fingers crossed for you!!
HigherEd2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Guys, it's this week... *flips* *freaks out* I know! I was thinking about it this morning. According to previous results, it seems like they actually call all of the POLS admits. I had my phone on loud and next to me all day. One more hour left for today. I just get this feeling that it's going to be tomorrow and Wednesday that they call people and Thursday when they send out the official accept/reject emails.

I had my phone on loud and next to me all day. One more hour left for today. I just get this feeling that it's going to be tomorrow and Wednesday that they call people and Thursday when they send out the official accept/reject emails. That's actually exactly what I was thinking. I could NOT leave my phone alone all day, I just kept fidgeting with it. I just try to make peace by reminding myself that our "fates" have already been decided, this is beyond control, and that they just need to get the word to us now. Still......... emg28 and IdlerWheel 1 1
HigherEd2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 I just got the call!!! It's happening April 8th and 9th are POLS visit days. Good luck everyone!
HigherEd2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Wait... It may not be those days. I was too excited to keep track too closely. Sad, right? I know she said basically beginning of April. Maybe it's 7th and 8th? Sorry guys for my bad memory!
Loseric Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 I'm out of town right now so I'm typing this on the fly from my phone - please excuse any errors due to over excitement! I got my call from Stanford about an hour ago! I wasn't expecting to hear so early in the week so I was very stunned and almost didn't know what to say when they told me the news! It still hasn't hit me yet but I do know I am very excited and grateful. Yay! Also, much props to Stanford for telling their admits by phone...the personal touch is really impressive. Congrats to highered2013! Are you going to attend the preview weekend?

educurious Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Congrats to both of you! Does anyone know if calls go out all at once or do you think some will go out tomorrow? Not sure why they would do that, but I didn't get a call and I need to cling onto something I read that typically only 35 people are admitted into the POLS program, so they might be done with calls already if they started an hour ago?
nm16 Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Congratulations to both of you!!! Yes, educurious, still hanging onto hope....................

Congrats to highered2013! Are you going to attend the preview weekend? Yes! I think I will. I'm excited! This is going to be a really tough decision. And for those who haven't heard, don't give up hope yet. They were calling to see if I had any questions as well. I was at work and could only talk for a minute (I had students in my office). But I could see how one phone call could take 20 minutes.
emg28 Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Ahh!!! Congratulations guys!!! ...I can feel the excitements in the post lol I hope we all get phones call....sigh
nm16 Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Ahh!!! Congratulations guys!!! ...I can feel the excitements in the post lol I hope we all get phones call....sigh Maybe they are going by last names!
emg28 Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Maybe they are going by last names! Or by submission date....
nm16 Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Or by submission date.... Yeah, because I pretty much submitted at the last minute. Bah, it's now lunchtime on the west coast, so maybe I should actually get some work done.
HigherEd2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 My name is near the beginning of the alphabet so that could be it. Good luck!!
Loseric Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Yup, I'm another last minute submission person, though my name is near the front of the alphabet. Funny story: they actually called my home number first and talked to my mom and asked her for my cell. (Not sure why they didn't just call that first, it was on my app!) They didn't tell her anything, but she was bragging that she knew before I did.
Edugy Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) Rejected for LDT Congrats to everyone that got in! Edited February 27, 2013 by Edugy
emg28 Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Same here Edugy, no pass and go and collect $400. Oh well. Best of luck everyone!
NewMediaRunAmok Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Sorry to hear emg28 and Edugy. I'm sure you both were amazingly strong applicants nonetheless. May I ask, did you receive a phone call as well or were you able to check your status somewhere online? Best of luck with the rest of your applications!
Edugy Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) I got an email at 6 Central time. Edited February 27, 2013 by Edugy
emg28 Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 I received an email as well around 4pm pacific time. When I checked the app site, my application still said "incomplete". So I wouldn't base anything off of the applyweb site. Good luck NewMediaRunAmok!!
nm16 Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Rejected, bah! POLS was pretty much my dream program, so I was bummed for a little bit (plus that app fee, ouch!)... but now I'm over it, I suppose. Ha! We'll all find the right places to go regardless. A sincere, heartfelt congratulations to everyone else who was accepted, though!
lexmin Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Did everyone get email form SUSE? seems like everyone got rejection or admission but It's 10:30 PM in East coast now but I haven't received any email.... any idea?

Strange.. I would call them tomorrow. Maybe they tried to call you but got the wrong number? Rejected, bah!

A sincere, heartfelt congratulations to everyone else who was accepted, though! Thank you. And I truly believe everyone will end up where they are supposed to. <-- excuse my ending a sentence with a preposition You have fantastic options! I know you're going to make a great choice and whatever program you choose will be lucky to have you . According to the Vandy threads, you could even come out without debt!
