Graduate School Admission Results

I declined the offer and will be attending WWU.

Reached out to a professor I had spoken with last semester for an update on my application, and she told me I would likely not get in because of funding cuts. I got the official rejection email yesterday.

1a/1wl/1r/1p. Grad GPA 3.85. 3-4 years of teaching ugrad writing, no GREs. Standard email nudge to check portal, where I found my acceptance letter. I'm an alternate for funding, so it's still not a sure thing, but I'm pretty dang pleased. If I can secure funding, I will almost certainly accept this offer.

6a/1w/8r/1p

Waitlisted before, received rejection today

I figured this was coming after seeing other posts. I have already accepted another offer.

Email to check portal. They really took their time with this one. I initially reached out to the department in early March to ask when I should expect a decision. They responded that they had very few spots this year and had already notified admitted students. If any declined, they would move on to the waitlist. Fair enough. I followed up to ask whether the waitlist had been notified and, by extension, if I was on it. They reiterated that their first-choice admits had been notified but didn’t clarify further. Communication does not seem to be their strong suit.

3.44 Undergrad GPA. 4.0 MA SOC GPA

3/7 ad, 3/19 receive funding

4 years professional experience in inpatient psychiatry, strong letters of recommendation

Offered PMP, but only interested in research-based masters. Guessing it’s because I spent a large chunk of my personal essay highlighting post-grad research work in industry.
