I met him at the Iowa visit but I didn't get a chance to say hi to you! Oh yeah! Hi! ? He's still waiting to hear from Iowa, but if he doesn't make it off the waitlist then he'll move with me and reapply next year-- the umn rhetoric staff like him a lot. DBear 1
ejpril88 Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 So at the same time you're hoping that he will and won't get admitted. That must be hard heyDW 1
kirbs005 Posted March 29, 2017 Author Posted March 29, 2017 Late to the party, but I officially accepted a spot at Wake Forest, which means I declined offers elsewhere, so hopefully it opens something up for someone else! DBear and heyDW 2

ejpril88 Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 Here is the weirdest thing - I still haven't heard a word from UIC I sent my application 4.5 months ago and exchanged some emails with the Comm grad student coordinator back then, everything seemed normal. And then...complete silence. I emailed the Comm program twice, no response, then I emailed the grad office and they told me to email the coordinator. I sent her an email thinking "we had good communication earlier, I'm sure she will respond"... But again, nothing. My application page still says "referred to the program" haha. I mean, it's not that I care, I'm just surprised.

Two of my friends each had one school that NEVER got back to them with a final result and they had to assume they didn't get in when they didn't hear back by April 15. It's really not a big deal especially if you got into the school you want, but I feel like it's unprofessional of such schools... Hopefully it's just a mistake :/
ejpril88 Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 They just emailed me, saying they are still reviewing my application lol! I responded I already accepted another offer, so that is done. heyDW and DBear 2

The DGS was nice to me but that was like, October.

michellelaura92 Posted April 6, 2017 Posted April 6, 2017 I wish there was some sort of legal requirement against that practice. If you pay the application fee and put all the time into applying, don't you at least deserve to hear some sort of decision? DBear 1
heyDW Posted April 6, 2017 Posted April 6, 2017 Yeah, it really bugs me-- my husband got rejected and a friend of mine got in, so I guess technically I'm on the waitlist but it'd be nice to hear something. Anything.

I agree! After UIC finally responded to my 3rd email saying they are still considering, and I told them I already accepted another offer, I expected a response like "thanks for letting us know, good luck" or something like that but again - silence. Only 8 days left guys! DBear and heyDW 2

heyDW Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 My husband just got off the Iowa waitlist and immediately accepted the offer! Wahoooooo!!! DBear and michellelaura92 2
michellelaura92 Posted April 13, 2017 Posted April 13, 2017 That's awesome! He added me on Facebook yesterday. I'm so happy for you both I'll have to make you guys dinner sometime. DBear and heyDW 2
MinaminoTeku Posted April 13, 2017 Posted April 13, 2017 I am close to officially accepting my position at ASU! Funny enough, one of my fellow CSUF graduates decided to go somewhere else so the funding that she got ended up going to me. I was apparently that close in the list. Much excite! kirbs005, michellelaura92 and DBear 3
DBear Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 1 hour ago, heyDW said: Lol just got rejected from Denver...THANKS FOLKS And you are DONE!! CONGRATULATIONS!! Guys, it's already April 15th where I'm at. Whatever the outcome of this cycle was for you, congratulations on making it this far and not jumping off a cliff. I've done a whole bunch of things career-wise and I can honestly say that the application process is no joke, one of the most stressful processes I've ever been through. Also, just making the decision to continue with school takes a lot of courage, so kudos to us all! heyDW and feyfatale 2
