A.Chung Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Hello, everyone. I applied to U Texas advertising program for master degree and found out that someone got admission yesterday. But I didn't get any message. Furthermore, application website says committiee is still reviewing Do you think is there a hope??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soleil ت Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I'm in the same boat as you, for the same school even. The way I picture it is that they will start admitting the irresistible candidates and continue forth and admit people as they see fit during the review process. I would tell you to not lose hope -- I haven't, yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uromastyx Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 There's no way to know. Usually all the acceptances will go out on the same day or within a couple days of one another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhMySocks Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 There is no way to know, so really, you might as well not panic. I had an experience recently when I started seeing interviews trickling out to one of my schools for a few days, and then stop, and I completely gave up and was depressed about it for a like a week, and like a week after the last one was posted I got an interview notification. Point is, you don't know until you know so there is no use in worrying about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angua Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I talked with a POI last week who told me that this year, more and more programs are doing staggered admits. Because applicants are applying so much more broadly, a program can no longer be sure how many of its admits will attend. As he explained it, when applicants were putting in 5 applications, you could figure they might get into about 2, so you have a 50% chance that they will accept your offer. Now, people are applying to 10-15 or more, and they might get into 4 or 5 (or more), so you have a 20-25% chance (give or take) that they will accept. If you only have space or funding for a few people, then it makes sense to admit a few, then wait and see what their interest level really is. So his program, for example, had rejected a lot of people, accepted 3-4, and then had 10-15 people that they were still considering. Some of those will be accepted before they hear from the "definite" admits, but most will have to wait. Bottom line: He said that if you haven't been rejected yet, it's a "cautiously good" sign. Don't give up hope yet! Also, my experience with interviews that are not part of a formal interview weekend has been that each POI gets around to interviewing people on their own time -- so definitely don't fret!
