POI came to my current university to give me unofficial acceptance. Still working out the details of the research assistantship, but I should have the official letter of acceptance before April 15. First choice school - dreams do come true!

Offered admittance and partial scholarship (1/3 of my tuition), no other assistantship, so I will most likely decline.

I contacted OSU about the status of my application. They said first round offers went out in February and that my application was being held until second round.

I didn't really put much effort into my personal statement.

Terrible fit...Don't know why I applied

Full funding for MS, option to continue on to PhD with full funding as well.

First notice from 5 applications! Positive email from POI to join the MARS research project. Includes RA funding with TA options. Still awaiting fellowship decision.

Although website says program is not space limited, I am now informed they are a small program and space is limited. Would have dieted if I'd known.

Rejection on the basis of limited availability of spaces...as normal.

Phone call from POI just a few days after interview- official letter to follow :D

Attended prospective student weekend was notified three days later. Board of Regents Fellowship offered. 26k plus full tuition waiver.
