She also told me if I hadn't heard anything from them by next week, she'd email them and ask when they'd be meeting. I'll keep you informed! I really hope the applicant weekend isn't at the end of February, though, I'm going to be on a family vacation - noooo! @aml149 Do you know if MSU and Cincinnati give out admissions notice all at the same time?

I'm a little nervous ab that one though (it had the same deadline as Maryland and was the wk before finals so I ran out of time to spend as much time as I would've liked tailoring my SOP) so I might not be the greatest judge for them I saw that their deadline was pretty early - I know my friend was rushing to finish her application on time as well. Best of luck to you, though! I'll be watching for updates from you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadtoPhD Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 @aml149 @AspiringScholar17 I've been in contact with the grad director from cincy and he said they're meeting early next week and announcing soon after that- around ten days or so! aml149 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know for sure, but I believe both schools only do one round of acceptances. At least that's how both made it sound when I talked with the grad directors (plus the past couple of years' forums and results page seem to suggest that no one got in off the waitlist). Now whether those acceptances all go out at the same time, I have no clue, but I would think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if this makes me less anxious or more anxious lol. I got an email from Cincy today and almost had a heart attack - then saw it was just the "your application is complete" email. I don't know if I can handle this! RoadtoPhD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AspiringScholar17 Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 The official countdown is on: Early next week with notice shortly thereafter. Ten days or so means Jan 27(Friday)! Let's hang on tight, yall! Wishing everyone the best. Hopefully we can wrestle with our anxieties for 10 more days and then bathe in champagne afterwards! aml149 and RoadtoPhD 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, you're not the only one! Haha. Anyone else just get an email from the Cincinnati graduate secretary today updating them on the status of their application? She said in the email that the committee "will be meeting soon" to review apps. I hope @aml149 is right and we hear back next week because I'm starting to get anxious!!!! Lol.

My first year I worked as a TA, and then I was an RA for the rest of my time. She wanted to help keep me employed as long as she could before I (hopefully) started a PhD. We're evaluating a program that provides housing and services to homeless individuals in our city. My professor is also a Cincinnati alum, and she was there visiting last week or the week before. They told her we should know by the end of January.

I really hope the applicant weekend isn't at the end of February, though, I'm going to be on a family vacation - noooo! I saw on the results page someone was informed of an acceptance to MSU on the same day as Cincinnati, so I'm hoping they'll both be end of January! I don't know if I can wait til mid-February! That sounds like fantastic experience! Bet that it will look awesome to the admissions committees (plus working with a Cincy alum can't hurt there ). Thanks so much for the info too. I don't think I can wait until February either. Eeeeeeek! AspiringScholar17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping the connection will help! If I don't hear from anywhere before February I might actually lose my mind, haha (but like seriously). This waiting is horrendous!

AspiringScholar17 Posted January 20, 2017 Author Share Posted January 20, 2017 @HerbieLove i got my email from cincinnati In early jan saying that my application was complete and that the committee will meet sometime in mid january for review! I guess thats because I submitted my app early -- but yes, while my email says "will be meeting in mid-January" as opposed to "will be meeting soon", i assume its the same type of email just w updated information. If our estimations are correct, next week will be quite intense w notifications. I am no longer excited -- 100% anxiety now. Really cant wait to hear back from any one school !

Based on the results page, the only indication is around the end of February/beginning of March. I don't know anyone else who applied, so I'm not really sure :-/ You can email them and ask when you could expect to hear something/when they will meet. Seems as though many people have done that for other places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
