mystiqueSLP Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 They were so insistent that everything should be received in-office by Jan 10 (earlier than some other schools) and it's really annoying that it took them this long to make the actual decision. I hope they've spent the past 2 months just carefully reading each application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megeinstein Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I'm pretty sure that all they are going to do is send out an email saying that our status on the webportal has been updated and we need to go look to see our decisions. I was thinking about calling or emailing the admissions department today and get a confirmation that the release date will be early April. For some reason, I'm hesitant to trust the mid-March decision, early April notification because people got notified a lot earlier in the past. Maybe they changed the system this year, so it is definitely slower, but then their estimate of when they will notify people might be off. If I get a hold of someone and get more news, I'll let you all know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanted to confirm that we should expect decisions then, or if they may potentially come any earlier. It would be helpful if you could let me know at your early convenience. I know that this is a busy time for you. Thank you, megeinstein I should be sending out the emails this Friday.

mystiqueSLP Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) OMG GUYS. Oh god, that is so soon! I'm freaking out, so nervous Is it true that CSU don't accept anyone from out of state or something? I've been hearing that floating around and I wonder if maybe I shouldn't have applied at all.

megeinstein Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I don't think that they automatically throw out-of-state people out of the running. There are just a lot of in-state people applying because it is cheaper to go to school in the state, at least from what I've heard. Not sure what effect that has on out-of-state applicants.

I guess it just creates a more competitive environment? I'm just expecting a rejection. I've looked at the past stats on the results page and I just know I'm going to get rejected because of my stats, especially if they do favor in-state applicants more.

megeinstein Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 That's a great idea, keep us updated! I emailed someone and they emailed me back almost immediately. I posted the email above, but basically they're sending out the decisions on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeechBanana Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Yikes. Did not apply to SDSU, but did to Fullerton. Now I will be anxiously waiting alongside the rest of you! Good luck to us all! Is the quote for Friday just a starting date for notifications, and they send out notifications in waves… or do they let everyone know at the same time?

SpeechBanana Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 You think someone is BS-ing? Or maybe it's someone from their own school, so they might have heard first maybe through a faculty person? Sometimes I wonder if half the stuff posted on the admissions page is pure BS.. I spoke to a professor about my worries about grad school, and mentioned GradCafe, and he said, "Yes, I believe everything I read on the internet, too." Made me think twice about just taking all that info in at face value I wonder if all the GPA/GRE posts are inflated, too.. But anyway, GOOD LUCK TO SD APPLICANTS!!! and GOOD LUCK TO FULLERTON APPLICANTS!!! AND GOOD LUCK TO LOS ANGELES INTERVIEWEES THIS WEEKEND!!! jeffmooo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
