waterloo715 Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 Two days in a row I have received a call from an unknown number, only to be told that the caller dialed the wrong number. Maybe the result board trolls have my number....either way, the suspense is killing me! Hang in there everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard the same thing.  An undergrad professor I am friends with told me that one of my POIs would not interview.  So I am holding out hope.  Mostly because I know my other 5 schools will not respond for at least 2 more weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrengthandHonor Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 To all those worried about UNC, don't freak out! They haven't released all of their decisions yet. POI at UNC told me that they notify early their top candidates who are being nominated for additional university fellowships. You're not out of the running! also, it's possible that maybe my subfield professors just decided to contact immediately instead of waiting for the official packages to go out. Hates_Goats, RevTheory1126 and philpot 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkid86 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I think I'm going to go crazy waiting for OSU results. (Not expecting anything until at least Friday, but that doesn't mean I can't be optimistic for sooner.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
changeisgood Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 If anyone else applied to Texas A&M, I just got an email from the dept. saying their adcom was now meeting (and my app is in the stack, yay!). Â Just FYI. RevTheory1126 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I think is even better is the 3.00 in the Writing section of the GRE that apparently is enough to get into Boson University.
