Thestaryeyedkidinallofus Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 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. ohh wow, she called you? Did she call you to let you know she wants you to work with her?
BeingThere Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) Got a call from my POI at Rice University on Friday, but I was unable to get back with her that day. She said she wanted to ask me about my "plans for study in the coming year." Not sure if this will be an interview or what. I suppose I will find out more when I speak with her. Has anyone else heard from Rice? Edited February 24, 2014 by Bren2014
iopsychohmygerd Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Did you take the Psych GRE? 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. I did. However, my scores were a hair below what I'd have liked, at 710. I reported them to Tech anyway. I consistently practice tested at 790, though, so I'm not really that upset about it, since I know that it wasn't an accurate reflection of my abilities. That aside, my #1 POI at tech contacted me not that long ago to let me know that he'd just found out he couldn't take a student at all, but that he would have picked me. So, at least there's some comfort in that. I feel pretty confident that that's why I didn't get an interview with anyone else. I simply wasn't as good of a fit with the other professors. Personally, I believe we wind up where we need to be. Sure is disheartening sometimes, but I believe everything will work out in the end.
iopsychohmygerd Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 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. I know Dr. Lautenschlager at UGA has already selected his student... I'm still crossing my fingers for the rest of them though. Just thought I'd share that if he was anyone else's POI.
IOSearching Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Did anyone go to BG's recruitment weekend? If so, how was it? And did you get a feel for if they might be making more offers?

jnc5177 Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Hi everyone, Is anyone going to the NC State Visit Day this Friday the 28th?
Chops13 Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) Hi everyone, Is anyone going to the NC State Visit Day this Friday the 28th? jnc, I am not attending, however I am currently wait listed. Would mind if I ask who your POI is? Edited February 24, 2014 by Chops13
iopsychohmygerd Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Also Dr. Kuhnert said he is not taking a student this year. Dr. Clark has also already selected her student. She just let me know a few hours ago via email. Just an update!
guagua Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Did anyone go to BG's recruitment weekend? If so, how was it? And did you get a feel for if they might be making more offers? I've got the same question

Has anyone else heard from Rice? Haven't heard back from them yet! How did it go (if you talked to her by now of course? Do you mind telling me who your POI is?
leSpyFox Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Finally seems like things are moving at Texas A&M. I see one rejection on the Results page. Hmmm...
cpaige67 Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Hey everyone! So I thought I'd share my schools: UGA - My POI has selected her student, but they haven't accepted yet (crossing my fingers for this!) Akron - Rejected George Mason - Rejected Old Dominion - Going to interview day this weekend Portland State - Rejected Colorado State - I was told decisions would be made soon Oklahoma State - Nothing Virginia Tech - Nothing DePaul - Nothing

Shushu Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Did you email George Mason before your rejection? The results page shows that some people found out that way and I've been hesitant to email then as well. If you emailed a POI, could you let me know who they are? Thanks!
Melissa Jo Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 ohh wow, she called you? Did she call you to let you know she wants you to work with her? I was invited to the interview day last year and decided to take a job opportunity to strengthen my application, I emailed her letting her know I applied again and was still interested in working with her so she called me to chat and invited me to the interview day though they aren't sure when it will be exactly yet. Probably March 15th. Dr. Sheets should be sending out official emails about it soon. Chops13 1

I emailed Dr. Dalal and that's how I found out about the rejection. The next day I got the generic rejection email.

The results page shows that some people found out that way and I've been hesitant to email then as well. If you emailed a POI, could you let me know who they are? Thanks! Yes I did. I emailed Dr. King, who did not respond to me but forwarded the email to the program director, who then let me know I had not made the shortlist.
iopsychohmygerd Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Waitlisted at UMSL yesterday. FIT also sent news that partial tuition remission would be given, but they are still working on the budget, so I don't know what the exact amount is as of yet. I also can't wait to hear ODU's offer... Their funding is apparently outrageously good. I'm still banking on SLU, UGA, Auburn, or one of the spots opening at UCF though. Let me know if anyone's not planning on taking their UCF offer!
Thestaryeyedkidinallofus Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 I emailed Dr. Dalal and that's how I found out about the rejection. The next day I got the generic rejection email. thank you for that. can you send me her email? the one on the website is not working.
TheCheat_IsMyHero Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Colorado State rejection email....ouch
Sacogswell Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Yes I did. I emailed Dr. King, who did not respond to me but forwarded the email to the program director, who then let me know I had not made the shortlist. I emailed Dr. Dalal and that's how I found out about the rejection. The next day I got the generic rejection email. Did either of you apply to the Master's program as well? Thanks.
BeingThere Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Colorado State rejection email....ouch Sorry to hear that. But, hey, looks like you've got plenty of offers to choose from. I applied to Colorado State but did not receive a rejection yet, even though I see that several people got notified today. I read on the Results board that someone who didn't even apply got a rejection email from there. Maybe they sent mine to that person.

EDIT: Spoke too soon, just got the rejection email from Colorado State. By the way, did anyone else apply to Baruch College-CUNY ? Edited February 26, 2014 by Munashi
roebuck1 Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 I too got the CSU rejection. BUT, also just got an FIT acceptance. Chops13, TheCheat_IsMyHero and BeingThere 3
