holly.romano Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 has anyone who applied for UConn HESA FA13 cohort gotten any sort of update?
Lulubelle Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 The program's Facebook page says they're supposed to email updates this week, but I haven't gotten anything yet.
holly.romano Posted January 16, 2013 Author Posted January 16, 2013 thanks Lulubelle, hopefully this is good news for both of us (...I should also look into giving in and getting a facebook, if only for college admission updates)
Lulubelle Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Eek. Sounds like people have started hearing back! Not me, though. Good luck to both of us (and everyone else)!
holly.romano Posted January 18, 2013 Author Posted January 18, 2013 I didn't get an email - so I'm guess thats a done deal.
Lulubelle Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Me neither. Where else did you apply, Holly? I'm waiting on Michigan State next, and then UVM, Va. Tech and Iowa. I already heard from South Carolina.
holly.romano Posted January 18, 2013 Author Posted January 18, 2013 Lulubelle, good luck with MSU, UVM and VA Tech - when I applied 2 years ago they got around 200 applications for roughly 18 spots !! So this time around I applied to schools that hopefully I have a better chance of getting into. UConn was my (first choice ) reach school because I know it's up there with Penn State and MSU in popularity. I also applied to NC State, U of Seattle, U of San Fransisco and University of Miami. Originally I had considered UT-Knoxville and University of the Pacific and from where Im standing I regret not applying there - but can't do much about it now. Hopefully something that is the right fit will present itself, for the both of us. I know a little bit about Columbia, SC if you have any questions!
Lulubelle Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Thanks, Holly! I'm starting to realize that I didn't have the best strategy when applying because I didn't know quite how popular some of these schools were. Good luck on your applications! I grew up near N.C. State, but I see that you're from North Carolina, so you probably are familiar with it already. I'll let you know if I have any questions about Columbia. I'm hoping to get a good feel for it when I visit next month.
holly.romano Posted January 18, 2013 Author Posted January 18, 2013 yes - I currently live in Raleigh - so i'm quite familiar with NC State ! when I applied for the FA2011 semester in FA2010, I didn't realize I was applying to the most popular / top tier / in-demand programs ( Penn State, UCONN, MSU, UVM ) either! Hopefully you don't have to venture down the path I had to take and you'll actaully get accepted to a school with an assistantship! good luck!!
