My heart is of course set on NW so fingers still crossed for that, but I'm worried with everyone who has talked about getting rejected from programs they were waitlisted at last year. I even went and met with the coordinators from the program over the summer at NW in an effort to see what I should improve, but I'm now anxious that will be my situation. I think I'm only sharing so that I have voiced my stress to a group of people who can really relate. I can sympathize. I thought the world of Minnesota's program before I was rejected. But honestly, all of the programs are really good! I haven't been to a program site that I was truly unhappy with, so keep your head up! I hope you interview at Northwestern, but even if you don't, wherever you end up will be a good school!

I wonder if they filtered by using GRE scores. My quantitative was just 51% percentile, which is the weak spot in my applications. Did they email you or did you check the online app? If you checked it online is that information on the same page that you view your application status? Applied/Rejected/Interview: CSU Stanislaus, Stanford, Utah, Denver, Pittsburgh, Arcadia, Thomas Jefferson

When did send your preferences? I got my interview email on Thursday and sent my preferences in that Friday morning. I’ll wait a few more days and if I don’t hear anything I’ll probably just call her. krhahto 1
BoxerBoo Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 Also got a no from Stanford! I was initially discouraged about the results page on this website, at the time I checked, three recent submissions were interviews from Stanford with only one rejection. Then I realized that people who have gotten interviews are more likely to rush to submit their result, versus those of us that might be feeling a little stung about a rejection. Something to keep in mind when trying to compare your results to others' invitations and acceptances over the next few months - it's easy to feel like you're in the minority, but there's lots of us receiving rejections!

MonicaTam Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 Hey guys! I was wondering if you guys were getting emails regarding interviews or were you checking your application portals? I see some people have heard back from University of Cincinnati, but I have not. I was wondering if you received an email or if you checked your online application portal?

TAGC Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 Got an e-mail from Manitoba offering me an interview! So relieved to finally have heard from a program. They offered 4 interview dates: March 6th, March 13th, March 20th, and March 27th. LCGC, HSGC2017, FutureGC7 and 4 others 7

CdaveyGC Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 Anyone hear back from UMich or Wayne? I'm shaking thinking that February is almost here. LCGC 1

Blizzard Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 Does anyone know where all KGI's rotations will be? I'm listening to their prospective student recording thing from last week and it gives more clarity, but not an extensive amount?

I was told pretty much point blank by the WSU director that I wouldn't be considered unless they got a really poor pool of applications this cycle so, I don't expect to hear from them, period, until probably March or so when rejection letters go out, but I assume those of you who are more dream team material will be hearing in the next week. There was mention of the last week of January!!!!!

There was mention of the last week of January!!!!! I submitted my applications to umich and Wayne on-time. But the people who wrote my letters took forever and didn't put my letters in until like 10 days past the deadline. Do you know if I'll still be considered or if they'll throw my app away due to the letters not being in. Michigan's app was due January 4 and I submitted and paid on-time but my letters were not. Same for Wayne

Can they actually say that to you? It's nothing like program director language. It's crude n not helpful in any way.

Same for Wayne First off, that sucks I am sorry you had to deal with that. I think it is largely up to the program, but I would say shoot them an email with an apology if you haven't already, just letting them know you recognize there was a delay etc? I'm not sure, but I feel like if you're a strong candidate they won't discount you terribly for that.

Same for Wayne It depends on the program. I had a letter writer last year who forgot a couple of schools. Those schools emailed me and I reminded the writer about them, and there was no issue.

CdaveyGC Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 Do they usually update application status on the website before sending out emails and such? Just wondering if I should keep refreshing the page or not

She is one of the nicest women I have ever met, and I am not saying that because she is my program director. GCToBe989, FutureGC7 and Lakers1960 2 1
