UCLA... is slowly driving me insane

[grad]

Anyone still waiting to hear from UCLA, or anyone just heard recently? (Congrats again, flowerchicken!)

[piper]

Still waiting and still nothing. :cry:

[laureltoosh]

I'm still waiting as well. Haven't heard anything.

I don't know whether I should continue to hold out at this point, or cut my losses and start figuring out how to make my application stronger for next year.

[tessa]

Still waiting, still not a single word from anyone at UCLA. I'm trying to decide if I should call and bug them again...

[piper]

Was thinking the same thing...

This can't possibly spill over to MAY, can it?!

[newusername]

i still haven't heard. i don't understand. blah.

[grad]

Still waiting too.

[newusername]

i guess the waiting is dragging on into next week.. somehow. :evil:

Well, it came in the mail today. Postmarked yesterday, the letter is dated April 30. Rejection letter. I really wanted it, too, and it's really starting to sink in that now I might be moving across the country in a few months for up to two years! But I knew that when I applied, and it'll definitely be an adventure. Does anyone know about appealing graduate decisions? Or if UCLA's MLIS program accepts transfers? I'm considering trying to find a job or volunteer in a library and just re-apply next year. I do like the other schools I applied to, but for personal family reasons, it might be best for me to try and stay local. The other schools I'm considering are Rutgers, Simmons, and San Jose State if anyone has any thoughts on those schools?

Thanks and best wishes to the rest of you!

Grad, I'm sorry you got rejected. I still haven't heard anything from the MLIS department.

Good luck trying to figure out everything. Maybe next year will be better.

[grad]

Thanks, laureltoosh I hope you get a more favorable response.

[laureltoosh]

Thanks. We'll see. At this point, I've kind of lost hope. I shouldn't say it, but it's true.

I was just wait listed today. Anyone else hear anything?

How did you find out? e-mail? phone call?

I'm still waiting.

[kristela204]

An email from the department. There was no change to my status on the graduate website.

Well, I finally e-mailed the program director and was told that I'm on the waitlist. Estimation of when I will hear back = indefinite. Bracing myself for rejection.

I'm in the exact same boat. Moving on....
