SLPsingballs Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 So on the admission results page it shows that people have been officially admitted, waitlisted, and rejected at Pacific U. I have yet to hear anything. Is everyone else on this thread still in the dark? I'm expecting the worst, but hoping for the best. Akon 1

I thought out of all of my interviews, my one at Pacific was actually the most eloquent...though it was my first interview, so my rate of speech was quicker. I'm surprised because of the rejections posted in results...I assumed? they would do everything in waves, but guess not, haha.

I don't even care anymore if I get in (now that I've been admitted to another program). It's like putting a bone in front of a dog's nose and saying, "you can't have this for 5 more minutes."

I thought we were all going to be notified in that one week...also I'm surprised that I saw rejections yesterday, but then waitlists today lol. I'm hoping we hear Monday.

Other people might not check it as obsessively as us?

Or they don't post on the survey page until a couple of days later. Diana said it should take about a week. Monday to Monday is a full week (I know everyone thought they'd all be last week). and she said should! It seems decisions are going out when Diana has time.

I just lack any and all patience unless I am working with children. Thanks for the reassurance!

I forget that applicants exist that aren't also obsessively checking this forum, the results, and their email!

Just wanted to add my two cents - in the packet we got during our interview day it said all applicants will be notified by mid March so in my option that means March 15th, just for thought! jmk 1
wannabslp Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 I got waitlisted at Pacific and rejections from all other schools. One interview at the University of Hawaii, but not sure now that I can afford it or the move.

wannabslp Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 And there is only 2 tiers? I haven't heard of anyone getting off the waitlist or rejecting their place on the waitlist. This is kinda devastating.

Show them your interest.

Something to the extent that you're on the waitlist for the program and you're really hoping you get off the waitlist because.... if this is your top school, tell them. If you visited for the interview, tell them. If you're interested in working under a specific faculty member, tell them. They want to hear it. All it takes is for the tier system to NOT be ranked and they have one spot left. Who are they going to give it to? Joe Shmo who didn't show interest or YOU, someone who made a point to email them expressing your interest. Do what you have to do. My friend did this so I am only speaking from her experience.
wannabslp Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 I will do that. I asked a professor and she said they cannot mention how many are on the waitlist. Maybe she misinterpreted my question. It seems like you could release that info?

They mentioned it's changing constantly(people declining to be on it or people accepting their acceptance, etc) Pacific has a ranked one it seems since there's a tier one and others don't have a ranked one. Haha I've already told Diana it's my top school and asked questions. I hope it did something. kayyyyy_ and wannabslp 2

From this year and previous years, it seems there's a tier one and then everyone else.
