roguesenna Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 School says phd applicants will be notified of decisions "by March." Haven't heard a word from them throughout the process. I know my app is complete because I've checked website many times. Email them to inquire about timeline? Or wait?
Inka dreams Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 School says phd applicants will be notified of decisions "by March." Haven't heard a word from them throughout the process. I know my app is complete because I've checked website many times. Email them to inquire about timeline? Or wait? I think you should. There is nothing that you would lose if you did. In fact I emailed on similar lines only to find they didnt even receive my official GRE scores! So you are better of emailing than not!
PsychGradHopeful14 Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 A lot of people would probably say to wait and not email. Did "by March" mean by the beginning or end of March is one question you may want to see if you can find clarification of on their website or other notifications otherwise you may be asking them when they are just starting to consider who to admit. I personally think it shows interest and eagerness if you contact to see where you stand but it's not universally interpreted that way. I think we all understand wanting to see where you stand even if its not the answer for which you were hoping. If the information is too ambiguous to figure out a solid time frame you could at least just ask if decisions have been made without pushing for your status... sometimes they will volunteer it in the response. ssynny 1
roguesenna Posted March 4, 2014 Author Posted March 4, 2014 yeah, the "by march" is all I have to go on except results posts from previous years. mostly in the past they have been within Feb 26th - Mar 2nd. I'm thinking waiting til Friday and emailing them then.
dhg12 Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 I don't think it could hurt? I mean, as long as its just a quick polite e-mail asking when you could be expecting results
icedtea Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) Yeah, very likely that they have received tens of emails already. Nobody will think you're weird for doing that, they must be pretty used to such emails. Edited March 4, 2014 by icedtea
roguesenna Posted March 4, 2014 Author Posted March 4, 2014 Okay. I got tempted and emailed. we'll see if I get a response.
