Thanks the ones who replied to my query regarding GMU. I was accepted last year, so I am hopeful this year as well. However, I fear there will be no TA-ship once again. :(

Wooo! First acceptance. I'm elated. Info on assistantships coming later.

I got the cryptic message via the portal on March 1st, and I emailed to confirm. Baltimore. I want to go to there.

Hoping for the best! 0a/1w/2r/1p

1a/1w/4r

0a/0w/5r/0p That's it...I just can't believe it. All my dreams are crushed.

They update the results on the application on March 1st but they don't email you to go check, so I didn't know until today (March 15th)

0A / 0W / 4R / 4 Pending :-(

i'm numb from the eight rejections, but as frank conroy said: you succeed, you celebrate, you stop writing. you don't succeed, you despair, you stop writing. just keep writing. don't let success or failure stop you. just keep writing.

Status: American living abroad. Email to check portal, rather impersonal and cold rejection letter.

The odds were always stacked against us. Good luck everyone.

We will write better...eventually...

Received email with a link to my online application portal where there was a link to download that revealed the rejection letter.

Email to check website. 1a/0w/7r/4p. To those accepted by Columbia: Are any of you fiction?

Email to check portal. 1a/0w/5r/2p

This was the dream, but a long shot for sure. 0a/0w/2r/4p
