I'd rather be disappointed studying than disappointed while hanging out with friends. Sorry to hear about your rejection/waitlists Don't write off your other schools yet though!!

I think I'd rather not be too hopeful. At least then I'd be pleasantly surprised instead of disappointed At least the good news is the wait is over either way in a week or two.

Puffer Fish Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 I got rejected from my first choice today. I'm a lot less upset about it than I thought I would be. Maybe that means it was't really my first choice after all? Either way, now my first choice is just gonna be the better of the 3 schools who haven't given me a definitive answer yet. Assuming I get any acceptances at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Studies have shown that job interviews do not provide a good indication of how well an applicant does in a position. Interviews provide very superficial information about people - think about how well an introvert might do in a typical interview setting vs an extrovert. I think the universities do the best they can (for the most part) with the resources they have. I wouldn't be upset at someone who gets into a program over me based on stats alone, because there are so many other factors at play. I read an SOP that literally blew my mind for an applicant that had lower-end stats. This person also had amazing rapport and in-depth experience working with the faculty writing the letters of rec.

OverCaffeinated Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Usf is giving me such a headache they just emailed me asking to upload the gre scores , the toefl exam and the transcript with a bachelors degree to their application. None of which makes sense since thy said that the gre doesn't need to be uploaded since CSDCAS already has a copy. Furthermore I won't get my degree until June cause like about 90% of the people I graduate this semester but the official date is June. And I don't have the toefl exam because my university's primary language is English and I'm not an international student. Did eveyone have to do this...? The toefl especially ?

esheshesh Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Thank you! I'm not sure of exactly what decision to make now because I was already accepted by an in-state program (3 years of grad school is a lot, so in-state tuition and potential aid is a big sell). I'll just have to wait to see if I get any funding from Purdue before making a decision. I expected my application to be tossed too because their portal didn't list my transcript as received. :x asdfghjkl; I'm so happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UTD kept sending me emails asking for my graduate transcript (which I won't have until the end of this semester). I think they need it by the time you enroll in the program / before enrollment starts. The director for UTD said not to worry about, and they tend to confuse a lot of people with those emails. I would email the program director to double check, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
