Well said, I'm honestly not sure why anyone who isn't even considering TSU based upon rumors they've heard or the length of time they take to review application and complete the application process is even posting in this forum. As someone who would be beyond thrilled to be offered acceptance to TSU, I feel like those who aren't even serious about their TSU application only wasted time and space that might've been otherwise available to others, like myself, whose first choice is TSU.
Congratulations to those of you that have received interviews or been accepted to your schools of choice. Good luck to everyone else! I wish you all the best and hope to see you in the fall =)
No matter what choice this school is for an individual, it does not change the fact that they are disorganized. Honestly, no one cares if they are taking other people's spots because thats what the admissions process is about. A lot of people will get into more than one school, and will accept more than one while they make a decision. This is a bit harsh but i believe instead of worrying about other people taking your position, you should make your application stronger. Professional school admissions are about survival of the fittest not based on loyalty/love for the school. I agree that TSU is the first choice for some, and no one faults them, but for others it is a last resort. Unfortunately, some last resort people will get in before the first choice people but like I said thats how it goes.
Regardless of the choice the schools behavior is unacceptable. The level of difficulty of the admissions process is unacceptable. It is not difficult because the school is too competitive but because they suck at processing. Just like they are busy, I am busy so I have given up on the school since i have been accepted to stronger programs. So I guess people should be happy because thats one less person. TSU admissions process SUCKS regardless of your love for the school.
