Graduate School Admission Results

sent to my permanent address. no word on funding. anyone hear anything in regards to that?

They're doing several rounds of acceptances.

I applied to Temple too but I haven't heard. I've been keeping an eye out for someone to post about it. I'll post as soon as I hear!!

Got acceptance news from POI 2weeks ago, and confirmed fellowship from graduate school commitee last wed (also via email). Finally got official letter(snail mail) today.

Checked Application Status and saw "University Acceptance" prior to actually getting an official notification.

I emailed coordinator and she replied with an unofficial acceptance.

Still waiting to hear about financial aid, but at least I got into my backup plan school :)

Brief message to set up an interview for the weekend.

To the poster below -- I hadn't heard anything from Temple so I assumed I was waitlisted. I emailed the program director on Tuesday and he emailed me back to tell me I was denied. You should contact them directly since they apparently sent letters to some people, but not all. Not happy with how they handled things.

Finally got so sick of waiting to hear back that I sent an email to the dipartment, the coordinator of student services, and the chair of the department. The chair said I am on the waitlist, which is of yet unranked, and it could be 3-5 weeks before we hear anything.

Temple University SLH MA program: RUDE receptionist, RUDE professors, refuse to give rejection decision results in a humane, timely manner along with the rest of the applicants. Excuse for not updating online system with results: "We do not have enough staff to update the online system this year." They also refuse to tell you why you did not get accepted. I want my application fee refunded! I am actually glad I was not accepted into the program - there horrible application process must be an indication of a cr*ppy program.

Finally!! I had to stalk them to get the news. They finally e-mailed me back today. Figured it was a rejection when I hadn't heard, but I was getting so stressed and frustrated as each day passed without a word. Not cool, Temple, not cool. I'm an alum (non-major) and the next person from TU who solicits me for a donation is going to get an earful.

Yeah, Temple pretty much stinks. I remember I went to an info session for the MA program in Speech Path there and the professor giving the info session looked at everyone like they had 3 heads any time they asked a question. She was rather rude too. Just b/c they are a #38 school and just in a metropolitan area, gives them the the right to treat people like cr*p? I don't think so.
