UConn HESA Fall 2014

[JBums1028]

Who else applied to UConn? I'm starting to get anxious about hearing back. I always knew it was a competitive program, but I think it's just now hitting me how competitive it actually is. They did just add two assistantships though, so I guess that's two more people who will get admitted this year. I at least hope I make it to the interview round.

Hey JBurns,

 

I'm applying to UCONN too.  I know it's a huge reach for me to get into the program, but one can always hope and dream.  Hope they'll be sending good news our way here soon.

Oh yay! I knew there had to be at least one other person! So it looks like we both did MSU and UConn, where else did you apply?

[mrsmithut]

Besides MSU and UCONN, I also applied at: UMass-Amherst, University of Vermont, Mississippi State, Texas, Texas A&M, and University of Utah.  I originally was going to do U San Diego, but swapped them for Utah.

Sounds like a solid list! Best of luck to you!

Thanks JBurns!  Same to you!  Hoping we cross paths at UCONN and MSU preview days :-)

Just an FYI to mrsmithut, I think we're supposed to hear back about interviews this upcoming week! I'm excited but also very nervous.

 

Best of luck to you!

[mrsmithut]

Thanks for the news, JBums1028.  Very exciting!  I'm a bit antsy and nervous too.  Hopefully there'll be good news for both of us here this week. :-)

Just heard back about an interview this afternoon - will anyone else on here be attending interview weekend!?

Got my email yesterday as well! I'll be there.

Congrats UNDERtheSEA22 and JBums1028!  Wish I was joining y'all there. :-(

Bumping this thread to see if anyone knows when UConn should be getting back to us with decisions by (if you know based on previous years that's also helpful)? I did some searching around these threads today and it sounds like most people knew by the week of March 17th in previous years (but for those people they were hearing rejections unfortunately). I could have sworn they said offers would go out this week, but maybe not? Any insight is helpful at this point, because I'm not sure if no news is good news for me...

I got an email on 3/9 with an offer - would love to hear about anyone else potentially a part of the cohort!

Congrats! Are you accepting the offer? Which department is it for? I'm still waiting, which means I'm probably somewhere in the middle of most of my departments lists. I'm assuming it's still a possibility though because I'd like to believe for the people who didn't have a chance at all they'd let them know right away.

I am also interested to hear what offer and if you accepted?

 

Thanks!
