I've gone back and re-read previous year's threads for my schools, and from what I can tell, if a school gives interviews, and you don't get one, you will most likely, eventually, and after a few months of waiting, be rejected. So, I made a T-chart: schools that give interviews, and schools that don't. I found that process helpful to at least have a sense of what I am waiting for. One school I wasn't sure of so I called them and they very nicely informed me that they don't do interviews and that they'll be sending out notices at the end of January. ugggggh, CookieCat, day_manderly and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck! I hope we all receive favorable decisions sooner rather than later lol. Fingers crossed!! I applied to the MA in Student Affairs at UCLA. The wait is so agonizing! Next week may be the week though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Master's students don't typically get funding. Does anyone know when financial aid packages come out usually? Will it be before April 15th? I need to know if I can take out a federal loan, and have already filled out the FAFSA. >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(e.g., UCI, UCSD, UCLA). The anticipation is killing me! @girgis99 I am applying the PhD in UC Irvine's Education school with LLT specialization. I haven't heard anything, not even an interview invitation. My GATS tracker has been showing"being reviewed." I'm preparing myself for any worst case scenario.

Hang in there! The program has a wait list (at least the year I was in it) and sometimes someone from the wait list gets accepted later on!
