RUKYRUKY Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 For me, yesterday's e-mail from IHEID suggest a very tight race in the applications they have received. Previous years decisions was never like this, people heard back from late-feb to mid-march in trickles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUKYRUKY Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 It's remarkable how much quieter this thread has become as compared to yesterday. Looks like IHEID's email does seem to have had an effect. Surely did. By this time yesterday, i had already refreshed the online portal like 25 times as compared to just once today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like IHEID's email does seem to have had an effect. Exactly that's what I was thinking. Although I keep checking my application portal but well it's already 6th. 8'days more rather 6 more if I take Sat - Sun out. Still doesn't keep me calm.

Iyanuloluwa Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 IHEID though... When i see the words "under consideration" a picture of thorough professors going through my application file sudddenly comes to mind. How long is this going to take?? :wacko: . 6 days feels like eternity. that's it, im goings to their office now.*packing bags* p.s: i have not lost my mind...yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mych Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) I was hoping that when they said they hoped to send out all emails by Friday 14th March, that it meant there would essentially be rolling admissions from today until that date. Going by the lack of activity on this thread, however, this does not appear to be the case. I realise we here are just a small sample of all applicants, but what are the odds that they have indeed been issuing admissions and no one on this thread has received one today? Also, is anyone else deliberately attempting to ignore the implications of the qualifier "we hope to be able to"?

k_angie Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) I got to know that few disciplinary admission calls have been made out today. No interdisciplinary ones! Edited March 6, 2014 by k_angie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, is anyone else deliberately attempting to ignore the implications of the qualifier "we hope to be able to"? Hey Mych! I was hoping they would be doing a rolling process too but you're right it doesn't seem like that at the moment. I'm very suspicious of the term "we hope to be able to" too but I'm choosing to ignore it at the moment otherwise I would go insane! I got to know that few disciplinary admission calls have been made out today. No interdisciplinary ones! Thanks for the update Angie! At least on this forum we know that we're not alone in our awful waiting and can pool our knowledge of the situation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluebird86 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Happy to help. Plus there has been no like nada activity here as compared to yesterday. Boy my virtual company felt all alone. I had dreams last night that I woke up in the middle of the night (USA) to read an email on my phone saying I wasn't accepted. Now my mind is playing tricks on me! I can't wait for this to all be over! haha! At any rate, I think I've given up exerting any large quantities of mental energy on this.

k_angie Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 Hehe - sorry we've all abandoned you! Maybe it's a time zone thing? I've only recently come back to my room after a pretty busy day... I'm also vainly trying not to obsess over this! Haha it's okay! I am sitting all day applying for interns and refreshing this page again and again so well! I had dreams last night that I woke up in the middle of the night (USA) to read an email on my phone saying I wasn't accepted. Now my mind is playing tricks on me! I can't wait for this to all be over! haha! At any rate, I think I've given up exerting any large quantities of mental energy on this. Now my attitude is "eh...they will let us know....eventually, or maybe never" I got a weird dream too how my documents were all lost and hence they never took out my decision. Plus so many other weird ones like how I was accepted and then when I reach IHEID, they say it was a prank they pulled. Anyway ignoring all that. I was hoping to wake up to tons of posts here about a few people getting some decisions but nothing! Well whether we get no news, good news or bad news I'm still here ha ha Yay see commitment.
