Zero Darko Thirty Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Has everyone heard back from all their schools? I haven't gotten any updates from 3 programs that I applied to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't gotten any updates from 3 programs that I applied to. I didn't hear back from Florida International, but that's okay seeing as I've heard conflicting reports about whether or not the I/O program is going to continue or not. I'd rather not take that chance. You could try emailing the programs at this point. Usually no news is good news, but it could also just mean you're on some sort of unofficial wait list. I think most offers should be extended by this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nka93 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I applied to the Master's I/O program at Clemson. I just emailed the program director because I haven't heard anything. He told me that the first round of acceptances has gone out and they are waiting to hear back from them (they have a deadline of April 15th). I'm assuming that makes me unofficially waitlisted. I don't know if the same applies for the phD program but I thought I would share the information anyway just in case someone finds it useful. For what it is worth, the program director was very nice and didn't seem bothered by my email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Darko Thirty Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Just wondering if there's any chance someone on here is considering releasing an offer from Michigan State? I'm on the waitlist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I/O Hopeful 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Hello, This is my first post. I am looking for some advice. I have applied to several programs and here is what I have received so far: 1. Rejected at CMU 2. Rejected at WSU 3. Wait list at SLU 4. Wait list at Akron 5. Accepted at IUPUI 6. No response yet from BGSU 7. No response yet from Ohio State 8. No response yet from UMSL I had interviews at Illinois State and Southern Illinois University and am awaiting responses from them. My question is this: What should I do about BGSU, Ohio State, and UMSL? BGSU is my top choice and I know they have wait listed people, rejected people, and accepted people but I have not heard anything from them. I received an acceptance from IUPUI and would love to go there, however it is a master's and if I can get into a PhD program that takes priority. Any advice would be appreciated.

IOSearching Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I/O Hopeful 2016, BGSU is my top choice as well (two admission cycles in a row). You might want to send them an email to check on your status, I just did that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioioioio Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 @I/O Hopeful 2016 If you haven't heard anything by now from a school you are mostly likely rejected or far down on the waitlist. I know that UMSL already had their visit day a week or two ago where they invited students with offers and those on the waitlist. If you didn't get invited to that I would assume that you are rejected. Wouldn't hurt to e-mail at this point as it's nearly April. For what it's worth, IUPUI is an excellent program and from what I understand their funding package is generous for a master's program. From someone who went through this last year, good luck to everyone. It will work out in the end, I assure you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGSU sent a simple reply stating " Offers have been extended but they haven't made decisions on all applications yet. Decisions may not be completed until mid April" which isn't really helpful. UMSL replied " We have about 60 applicants to our program this year and can typically only accept 3-5. I know it is stressful to wait for an answer, and we will notify you of a decision as soon as we have news for you. However, it can often take until April before we have decisions. We will definitely notify you by April 15th, according to APA standards. In the meantime, I appreciate your patience and your interest in our graduate program!" Still no word from Ohio State, which is bothersome because I have been looking on here and I have not seen anyone post as to whether they have been admitted, wait listed, or rejected so I don't know if they have decided on anything yet. I also received an email today and was accepted into EKU's master's program, so I am excited I have more options now. However, I would still much rather get into a PhD program (that probably goes without saying) but I don't want to be "that guy" who waits until the last minute or makes other people who have been wait listed continue to wait until I decide. I don't know what more I can do at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I/O Hopeful 2016 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Had you already received a notification before then that you were put on a wait list?

I/O Hopeful 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Is there anyone who is accepted to BGSU that hasn't decided whether they are going to go there or not? I am wait listed there and have to make a decision relatively quickly as to where I will be attending, and BGSU is my top choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hpgenomix Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 At one of their open houses they said, they take 3-4 weeks to process applications. I applied right before the deadline so fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I/Ohopeful Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Has anyone else accepted their offer yet? I don't feel like it's necessarily early, but I accepted an offer at PhD program about a week ago. I'm just anxiously waiting to see who will be in my cohort!
