roebuck1 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 So according to the results page, people got rejection emails from UConn today. I didn't... but no other word from them... I'm going insane waiting. That's what happened with me and CMU. A bunch of people got rejections last week and posted about it. I didn't get my rejection until yesterday.

Shushu Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 I see that some people are waiting on the same universities as I am so I'm assuming that they are still looking at applications. What does everyone think about emailing each program asking about an update? From what I've heard they either don't respond or just give you a vague, "you app is still under review" response.
IOhopeful Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Hi Everyone! First post here so sorry if this is already old news to some of you. Saw that some of my universities that I've applied to for PHD programs have sent out acceptances/rejections already but I havent gotten anything yet! George Washington George Mason U of Maryland U of Georgia Illinois Institute of Technology Georgia Tech No updates on application status, no emails or letters. Hopefully I'm not rejected and just havent heard about it yet but if anyone knows if they're done sending out invites/acceptances or not please let me know! Thanks! Hello fellow applicants, I hope this is not disruptive, but I was wondering if anyone had information/ advice. I applied to Maryland, George Washington, George Mason, U. Georgia, Georgia Tech, North Carolina SU, Clemson, and Texas A&M and have not heard anything from any of the schools yet. Does that suggest rejections because I was not contacted for interviews? For what it is worth: GPA: 3.75 GRE: 161-V 162-Q Currently working in an I/O consulting firm Hey there. First post. My intention is to get a PhD, but because my GPA is very low by the standards of most PhD programs (lower than anyone else's I've seen posted in this thread) I decided to hedge my bets and mostly apply to Masters programs for now, although there are a few exceptions. I have yet to hear anything, which in many cases isn't surprising, as the masters programs generally have much later application deadlines--some of which extend as far back as mid March--but I figured I'd post anyways in case anyone else is waiting to hear from any of the same schools. GPA: 3.40 166 V, 156 Q 3 research projects, including a year-long independent study 2 conferences--1 poster, 1 lecture PhD Programs: George Washington University Virginia Tech University of Maryland Masters: George Mason East Carolina University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Indiana University--Purdue University Indianapolis University of West Florida Radford California State University, San Bernardino Appalachian State

Other than your GPA and your quant scores, I would say you have good credentials, especially with your research, independent study and your poster/lecture. I have similar scores as you and still waiting for most of my schools to decide. It's good that you applied to a bunch of masters, you have a much greater chance with those programs. IOhopeful 1

Most M.S. programs require you to have an A or B in every class, just like Ph.D. programs, so you should definitely be able to earn a GPA that is more favorable for Ph.D. programs while you're in school, which would make your application extremely competitive in the future. Getting a masters is really a fantastic idea, and I'm still considering applying to an M.S. program, myself. After visiting one university, one of the grad students told me she wouldn't recommend a Ph.D. to anyone. Now, I'm not quaking in my boots or anything, and my heart is still pretty set on a Ph.D., but having the option to get out and work in two years making 65-70k starting doesn't sound bad at all either. That aside, your verbal score is particularly outstanding, and if your personal statement follows suit then I feel pretty confident in saying that you'll probably have multiple offers on the way from those masters programs. The only other thing I can tell you is that someone on here I believe has said that George Washington already sent out offers, but I never heard back from them either. Good luck (but you probably don't need it)! IOhopeful 1
Thestaryeyedkidinallofus Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Has anyone applied to Claremont Graduate University, Illinois Institute of Technology, or Louisiana Tech University? If so have you heard back? Especially from Claremont Graduate University. They also keep sending me emails to come and visit their campus so I finally decided to come, is this a good sign that I might be accepted? Or is this just wishful thinking on my behalf? haha
Chops13 Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Swkmjjjj I applied to Louisiana Tech, I have not heard anything back yet. However, their deadline for applications was less than a week ago, so I think there is a good chance they are still reviewing them. I know in the past they have done a interview weekend, so that is something to keep an eye on. I can't give you any input on the other two! Good luck with the process:)!

Did you just submit your application on Saturday?
Shushu Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 I've applied to IIT and based on the Results search history they tend to come out with acceptances/rejections a little later than most (they also have a later due date than other programs): seems like March is usually when people hear back from there.
IOgradstudent Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 I see that some people are waiting on the same universities as I am so I'm assuming that they are still looking at applications. What does everyone think about emailing each program asking about an update? From what I've heard they either don't respond or just give you a vague, "you app is still under review" response. That is not a bad idea at all. I did this last year for a few of my top schools. One did give me a vague response of "we are still reviewing applicants" but they also told me that my POI was not accepting grad students so that sort of gave me an idea that I wouldn't be accepted there (and I wasn't). Another program ended up calling me within a couple days to let me know they were still in the review process but they really liked my application (I was later accepted to this program). The last program e-mailed me back within a week or so to let me know I was wait listed. With the last two programs mentioned, I really doubt that me e-mailing them led to my acceptance or wait-list status but it did give me a little peace of mind to hear back from them. Hope this helps!
Chops13 Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Thank you for that. Did you just submit your application on Saturday? I turned it in during mid-January!
Gibbas Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Gibbas, aren't you one of the students in the I/O program at Tech now (congratulations, by the way)? How did you find out all of their offers have been extended? I am at GT, that's how I know some offers had been extended, I believe all have been extended now because we are in the midst of planning recruitment weekend.
roebuck1 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 George Mason just sent out some rejections...
iopsychohmygerd Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 I emailed the head of the I/O program at Clemson and he said all initial offers have been extended, but the faculty is still making decisions on alternates. It should be about 3 weeks before they decide. I have to admit, I'm more than a little heart broken about Tech, but you live and you learn.

Bummer on the GaTech news but eh, at least you're not in Ukraine!
iopsychohmygerd Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Bummer on the GaTech news but eh, at least you're not in Ukraine! So true! It certainly could be much, much worse. And it's okay, I still have SLU's interview next weekend, and I believe my visit to Old Dominion might also result in an offer, albeit in human factors rather than I/O. So at least there's that It's truly Tech's loss, anyway. I plan on doing excellent things regardless of where I am!

leSpyFox Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Me too! Should've known I'd see a few of you guys on here! Looking forward to next weekend
iopsychohmygerd Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Next weekend is going to be fun, guessing which of the potentials you guys are! I'm really looking forward to meeting you all in person That aside, I feel like it'd be really helpful if everyone complied where they're sure they've been accepted and rejected from so far into one post. I'm really curious, plus I feel like it'll help us keep tabs on where spots might be opening, if you guys are down!
Melissa Jo Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Swkmjjjj I applied to Louisiana Tech, I have not heard anything back yet.

I know in the past they have done a interview weekend, so that is something to keep an eye on. I can't give you any input on the other two! Good luck with the process:)! I got a phone call from Dr. Desselles yesterday at louisiana tech. They are still reviewing applications and are trying to pick a date for the interview day. It should be sometime in mid march.
Chops13 Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) Does anyone currently have an offer on the table from NC State? I was told that I am made the final cut and I am currently on the wait list. They are my #1 school and have my #1 POI, so I am hoping things work themselves out Edited February 22, 2014 by Chops13
Shushu Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 So got an email from UGA (grad office) saying that mid-late march they will send out their final decisions. GWU also sent an email saying they are conducting interviews soon but depending on those outcomes, they may interview other applicants. Just updating everyone.

According to GT's I/O site, they prefer it but don't require it. I didn't take it. I'm using that as my excuse for not getting an interview. Edited February 23, 2014 by tanneraustin
