Gradapplicant10101 Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Haha! Don't worry. They'll definitely send you an email if you're rejected. I don't believe my status changed on the website. Although, I didn't really check it after the initial confirmation that I was rejected. Be sure you're checking your spam folders. I've heard emails sometimes end up there. If you haven't heard anything, you're probably on a waitlist. Thank you geographyrocks! When they contacted you, did they email or call you? Waiting is seriously the worst part!
geographyrocks Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 They sent an email. It was just a standard rejection letter. They were nice enough to put my name on the top of it though. I'm actually pretty happy about it now. Boulder is sooooo expensive!
Gradapplicant10101 Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Pile on that out of state tuition + housing and its a sucker punch!
ilovemusic Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 When did you apply? Indiana and Kentucky deadline was 15th of Jan. and I called. Does no harm - just be polite. Are you applying for MS or Phd? I've applied for kentucky before jan 15th too, MS prog. What did they say when you contacted them? And any mail id you know, so that i can mail them?
ritapita Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Are you applying for MS or Phd? I've applied for kentucky before jan 15th too, MS prog. What did they say when you contacted them? And any mail id you know, so that i can mail them? Just an FYI - I know from a department contact that Kentucky sent out all their MS acceptances early last month. I think I already sent you the contact information for who you need to call at Kentucky. She is very nice and friendly. I highly suggest you call her for your status. If you haven't gotten a rejection from them, my guess is that you are waitlisted since funding for MS's was supposed to start being announced about now. (They still haven't sent accepts or rejects for Phds! and they are on spring break this week too.)
happyoutlier Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Yeah basically what ritapita said. I applied for the PhD so no response or decisions from them yet. Good luck!

And regarding that contact info you gave, I dont have a problem calling the officer, but since i stay in India the timings here and there are very different. I dont want to call them in the wrong hour or something, that is why i have asked for a mail id..anyway i have mailed the DGS about it and hopefully will get a reply by tomorrow.
Gradapplicant10101 Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 I got a phone call from CU Boulder and found out that the rejections and acceptances have been sent. And those of us who haven't heard back are on the dreaded waitlist. We should find out sometime in April weather we made it off
happyoutlier Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Fingers crossed for us waitlisted folks!!! =)
breaks0 Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) I only applied to York in this field and b/c the grad student union has won their recent strike and since I was mistaken about being accepted (my interview was confusing), it appears I won't go there. Or anywhere else in the fall in any field, I'm 0-10 or 0-11 on phd apps this season. For many reasons, my academic future is in the gutter and may be down the drain, it's not looking good at all. Good luck to the rest of you. Edited March 29, 2015 by breaks0
Gradapplicant10101 Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Keep your head up breaks0, there's always next year!
TruffleTime Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 Officially accepted an offer from Penn State! Compared to last year, this cycle was a lot more positive for me. I had the same stats and worked hard to improve my SOP...but in general, I've learned that timing plays such a big role in these applications. ritapita 1
jmu Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Congrats blueridge! Penn State is an amazing program.
ritapita Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Hey everyone, I just withdrew my app from Kentucky since I accepted another offer. In my email I implied that this would open a spot for others if I was indeed wait-listed. I received a quick reply stating that they are still making initial decisions as the weather this semester closed the university down so much that it caused them a huge delay. So for those of you waiting on Kentucky, I would say hold out just a bit longer. They are really pushing the deadline this year but they are still figuring out acceptances. Best of luck to you all.
happyoutlier Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 No go for me this year - good luck to everyone else on here!
gradcafe_account_underscor Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 April 15 has arrived....where is everyone headed?
Gradapplicant10101 Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Accepted off the wait-list at CU Boulder! I'll be accepting soon and excited to start this August! Any geography students living in the area or know of any community resources for admitted students?
rsteve388 Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 So i just applied to UC Denver for their new Applied Geography and Geospatial Science Program, the program is brand new and i am excited to be a first year student.
happyoutlier Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 So no grad school for me this year! But congrats and best of luck to everyone starting! And to those that are back in the real world for another year - like myself - it could be a fortunate happening in disguise. I'm going out to the real world... the cold cold real world. Wishing all of us luck wherever we go!
