acceptance notice via phone call from POI 2/3/2015, official acceptance letter via email to check website 2/17/2015, full tuition and 30K yearly stipend for five years.

Very nice personal email from Graduate Advisor. Not surprised - wasn't the best fit overall. Great offers from other programs. Mazel Tov to those admitted!

Email to check the website

No email, checked website.

No email and the message on the website said that there will be no mailed letter.

Did not receive email or mail notification, just checked application status.

I didn't get an email, just checked the website when I saw the other posts.

GPA is MA. Didn't get email just checked my status online.

Received an email telling me my decision was posted online. I figured it wouldn't be a good answer since I'm being notified so soon. 3 to go!

Best of luck, everyone! We can do it!

I didn't receive an email. Just logged on to check if anything had changed and noticed I'd been rejected. This was over an hour ago and still no email. Pretty unprofessional. I'm disappointed but I don't know if I wanted to live in Texas anyway. First decision and first rejection though :(

My first rejection. Have been accepted at another fine program.

invited to the on campus interview for finalists. One of my top choices. Fingers crossed!

an unprofessional, very short letter from DGS. still 3 to go...and a waiting list.

Very surprising
