HGSE 2018

[NorthStar]

I would wager more like 5:00 - 6:00 PM Eastern Standard time.

I am shitting my pants guys. I think I will need professional help if I get rejected. HGSE has been a dream for 5 years.

Email, application status, grad cafe, refresh refresh refresh.... omg!!! 

[clc1520]

Still nothing. Anyone else still waiting? Confused by the above posts haha

[jsk32155]

@clc1520 Honestly, I think the email will come around 5:30 EST

[sheriberi]

Thank God for this thread! Glad I'm not alone in this. Good luck everyone!

I'm anticipating a very dramatic drive home from work.

[hottabasco]

I'm assuming that they'll send out the emails after business hours (I.e. 5~6 pm as stated above) since they probably don't want droves of unhappy applicants who got rejected mass calling them.

I did notice that the status page on the application portal slightly changed.  Before there were some paragraphs about "awaiting" status or whatever it was, regarding the office receiving documents.  That's gone now.  Anyone else notice this?

@hottabasco yes I noticed. They also updated their application deadlines to next year's, and they now say applications "are closed" (referring to next year's applications).

I have to board a 17 hour flight in 2 hours. This is beyond agonizing.

I noticed the same slight change but don't know what it signifies...

me neither.. don't want to read too much into it, but can't help  xD

Chiming in from halfway around the globe (South Korea) to quell this anxiety! It's 4:30am here and I haven't gotten an ounce of sleep!! 
I hope everyone the best!!! 

@scfchi Can't be certain, but it sure seems like they're done with this year's cycle (hopefully all ending today!!)

Pay for "onboard Wi-Fi" and read your mail and access the portal.

I've thought about this and I probably will, although paying $17 to get kicked in the groin if rejected seems a questionable investment.

I dunno, I'm quite masochistic myself. ^0^ lol~

2 hours... I'm mentally preparing for worst case scenario

[jsk32155]

Me too, @Sof45! I'll have some stuff to burn...

[Sof45]

Better to prepare for worst case and be surprised. Remember we can apply up to 3 times in a lifetime!! Only 6 months and we can apply again!

EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON! 

[jsk32155]

Does anybody know how many people apply?

[montferrat]

Boarding. Godspeed to all. See you on the other side.

Anyone try calling admissions to confirm or check if today is the day?
