Dutt0058 Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Thought I would start a topic for us waiting to hear from Western Carolina. If anyone finds out more info let us know! I cant handle the wait haha.
queenleblanc Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 I just declined my (funded) offer a few minutes ago- hopefully one of you can get it! Would have loved Western if I didn't have the house near ECU, and my hubby has to find a new job near school, so I wasn't too keen on living in Asheville and commuting that long to classes every day!

It just sucks that its at a standstill until April 16th. Its frustrating not knowing if I am going to be attending anywhere. My boss keeps asking me if I will be here for the extended school year to provide services to my kiddos, but I have no idea because if I get into gradschool far away from home (Minnesota) I plan on moving home for a few weeks in summer with my family and friends cause I live about 5 hours away from everyone now and then move to the place I get into in the middle of the summer so I still have time to look for a job. If I don't let my boss know soon..it doesn't give her very much time to find a replacement.

Ahhh, thank you for posting this. I just declined as well; I hope it helps someone here out!
Dutt0058 Posted March 20, 2013 Author Posted March 20, 2013 anyone hearing anything? Someone was going to email them and get more info...any new information out there?
jdslp Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 (edited) I'm in the same boat as being "waitlisted." Soo nervewracking b/c this is my top choice school. I need to know soon if I'm getting into school this year or if I should start job searching again. Thank you to those people who have notified the school about turning down an acceptance. Although I really hope a spot goes to me (lol), either way I hope they go to well-deserved students. Edited March 26, 2013 by jdslp queenleblanc 1
Dutt0058 Posted March 27, 2013 Author Posted March 27, 2013 I am hoping if we are not rejected yet that it is a good sign! queenleblanc 1
jdslp Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 I am hoping if we are not rejected yet that it is a good sign! Haha yea it's nice to be somewhat desirable
jdslp Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 So I looked back through the WCU admission results and it looks like some people posted their rejection status from which they were notified yesterday. I'm going to assume if you didn't get an email then you're still a waitlist/potential candidate....? **fingers & toes crossed**
Nebraska19 Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 If you look on the apply yourself page, if it still says submitted, then you are still in the running. It will change to decision made once they have made a final call on your application.
Dutt0058 Posted March 27, 2013 Author Posted March 27, 2013 I saw that. It makes me happy that I am not rejected so far. Still hope!
jdslp Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 Any news for anyone? Someone on the results page said they got accepted off the waitlist yesterday but there were no further details...
Dutt0058 Posted April 17, 2013 Author Posted April 17, 2013 They posted it yesterday, but they said they got accepted off the waitlist on the 8th?? I am not sure if that makes sense. I wish we heard something yesterday. what the heck? haha I am anxious.

ewhitaker3 Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 I spoke to the Graduate Admissions lady this morning and she said second round applicants will be notified within the next week. She said it is taking a while because there were so many applicants this round...hello anxiety. jdslp 1

ewhitaker3 Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 I got the first waitlist email...nothing else. My status still says submitted and ready for review. Did you get one yesterday? What did it say?
Dutt0058 Posted April 18, 2013 Author Posted April 18, 2013 The Graduate Admissions process for the fall 2013 class has come to a close. We have a full class, and are now putting together a list of applicants wishing to be placed on a waitlist should a seat open up over the course of the summer. Historically, we do have a few spots to fill, and this can happen up until the week or two before classes begin. If you would like to be on the waitlist, please email me in response to this email to indicate that, and please do so by Wednesday April 24th, 9:00 AM EST. If you are not interested, you can still email me and let me know, or just wait until the deadline passes. A popular question at this point is rankings on the waitlist. We handle that by sending out information to waitlist candidates indicating a block on the waitlist, as in, you are top 5, 6-10, 11-15, etc. There is no way of knowing how far into the waitlist we will go, but typically 3-5 may drop during the summer.

I'm confused...did you receive an email stating this or was this told to you?
jdslp Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 I got an email yesterday saying this. Hmm so basically extremely slim chances of hope to be chosen off the waitlist...I did not receive any such an email.
