bridge_water Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Is there any chance of getting admission decision on Saturday or Sunday ?? Just wonderin ...
iPsych Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Yes! I've received admissions via email from profs on the weekends from two schools
rj16 Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Yup! I didn't actually get the email because it bounced back but when I spoke to the secretary she said she had tried to send it on sunday.
scottdickson86 Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Got mine on a Friday, 5 PM ET, which is Saturday morning in the Pacific.
ginagirl Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 What about over spring break? I find it hard to believe they can take a whole week off from this process but also wouldn't expect anything during that time...thoughts?
pulpandink Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 I received an acceptance email from UW-Madison on a Saturday in January, three weeks after the application deadline. Maybe the Art Department likes to work on weekends, though
LittleDarlings Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 I found out about Kentucky on a Sunday. I also spoke (via email) numerous times to a coordinator over the weekend.
bridge_water Posted March 16, 2014 Author Posted March 16, 2014 Thanks for the responses !!! Damn... now ill be waiting for emails on weekends as well !!!
rj16 Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 What about over spring break? I find it hard to believe they can take a whole week off from this process but also wouldn't expect anything during that time...thoughts? I don't think they take time off.
Munashi Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 I had a notification on a Saturday too. It came from the program director.
ihatepencils Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 I got a waitlist notification from the director of graduate studies at a school on a saturday...so yes -- you can definitely hear back on the weekends!
PhDerp Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 What about over spring break? I find it hard to believe they can take a whole week off from this process but also wouldn't expect anything during that time...thoughts? Spring break can be different at different schools! They can be anywhere from February to April that I've seen. The lady who sends out emails for one department I applied to is gone for the week. I know because she set up an automated email response for the time being.
psychresearch Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 I was rejected on a Saturday morning via email!
Coffeenwhiskey Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 I received an email from one of their students on Sunday, telling me that I got accepted.
