nixipixi Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 To the gods of admission committees, please put us out of our misery! (not to be petty, an unofficial acceptance from a POI will also be great!) Doran, RazaXo, punkrockbuddha and 1 other 4
CoyoteBlue Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 I've already promised god my first 2 children. Like, I'll send them to sunday school, they'll know about their religion rather than being hidden from it. abcde12345, Lucyshoneypie, axiomness and 1 other 3 1

I had an interview with my primary POI last week. Historically, the admit notifications for the program that I applied to have come out sometime in early February, so it is going to be a tense week or two until I get some idea of what is going on.
SG_SC Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 This is literally the most stressful thing in my life right now. I have gone through 2 bottles of scotch a week since January began. I_mix, Erudite and BellaAung 3

Amanda87 Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 I've gotta say though, I got one admit from my safety school and it's made me even more anxious. I don't know if that's common. I'm glad I got it but would really like to know about the other two. Ugh! CoyoteBlue 1

I'm feeling the same way, my one admit has made me even more anxious and impatient so I feel like the torture will only end when we make that final decision.
alisham Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 My anxiety is through the roof at this point. Nothing I've done so far has distracted me enough to not check my email 10 times an hour. Luckily, I just got a job offer to teach toddlers, so I'm hoping that will be a sufficient distraction from the admissions process for now. anxiousphd 1

I've managed to mostly chill out before 9am, after 6pm, and on the weekends, but during working hours I can't focus on work or on writing my thesis. I check the forums, the results, my inbox, my spam, and my application portals over and over again... If I could just get one acceptance, I think I would be alright! BTW I'm super jealous of that UConn acceptance-- I'm DYING to hear back from them about whether or not I got into the PhD English program. goldenstardust11 1

Now that I received one acceptance, I keep thinking that the others should come shortly. So, now I'm checking my inbox even more than I was before. I'm actually surprised UConn let people from the MSW program know so soon. Looking through the forum, I was expecting to have to wait until late March like others in the previous years did. Hopefully you hear from them soon! anxiousphd 1

lingerstarrrrr Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Just wanna ask, as a PhD applicant, will you get accept without interview or contact with POI? ECE major Calvin S 1

ECE major I don't know about your field, but I've been offered 2 acceptances so far without interview. I did contacted some POIs from the programs and we corresponded either by email or skype before I sent in my applications. One offer even include full funding - they told me the good news by email first, then a second POI requested to talk by skype. It wasn't really an "interview" as I was already offered the admission with funding. She just wanted to talk about the details of the funding and the department, and persuade me to accept the offer. I'm still waiting from 3 other programs. It feels like forever.

WestCoasterGoingEast Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Hey everyone! Currently.... Applied to: University of Michigan, NYU, UW Madison, Harvard, UPenn, USC Admitted: 2/6; Rejected: 0/6; Waitlisted: 0/6; Nothing yet: 4/6 NYU teased me today! They sent me an email and the subject started with "Welcome..." but it was a letter from the Dean saying thank you for applying and providing resources and scholarship info to look into while they continue with the review process.
