Never got a decision..


Recommended Posts

Hi All-

Has anyone not received any decision from a school at all? I have 5 schools that I just haven't heard from. I assume waitlist or rejection, but I find it strange. Luckily I did receive some acceptances at other schools- but has anyone else experienced this?

@G.Speech In my experience, this typically means you have been rejected. I'm in a different field, so maybe it doesn't apply, but when I applied to PhD programs last year, every program I never heard from rejected me. It seems pretty common for them to hold on to people just in case. However, you might contact the department. I've done this before and found it helpful! As long as you aren't demanding, people are usually pretty helpful. Good luck!

I never heard from one and I know they sent out rejections as well as waitlists and acceptances, so I am a little confused! Also, their portal says my application is "complete and ready for review," so I submitted everything. I would call any programs you are seriously interested in still!

I never heard from CUNY Hunter or CUNY Brooklyn. I know Hunter doesn't do waitlists (according to the woman I spoke to in the department) and I never interviewed at either so I assume rejections as well. I would like to know, though! I've already deposited at my top choice and declined my other two acceptances, but an acceptance at a CUNY with such cheap tuition might be enough to make me reconsider.

I haven't hear from 2 schools, but I know they do somewhat of a rolling admissions. Everyone who hasn't heard is on an unofficial waitlist. You can always call or email to get an update on the status of your application.

I still haven't heard from Tennessee State, I know of others who haven't as well but my application decision says pending. Not sure what the holdup is but they were quite disorganized throughout the application process anyway.

I heard from them a few days ago. They've already sent out their acceptances.

I still haven't heard from Florida Atlantic University. From what I hear, the department is under investigation and the whole admissions process was faulty this year. They calibrated a lot of students' scores and stats WRONG. Even if you are ultimately accepted here, I wouldn't go. Their program seems very disorganized and unfair. (Of course, don't go unless this is your only option. If so, then congratulations and good luck!)
