I'm generally glad there is movement, but I feel nothing but pain seeing them get off. I understand that it may not be my time yet, but nothing really softens the blow of feeling.... inferior? I truly feel like an idiot for even having applied haha
I'm sure they will have made a note of it.
May I ask where?
No you don't need to.
me rereading my personal statement from last cycle and questioning how i EVER thought it was okayRereading my app trying to figure out what went wrong:
don't worry about finding housing man, that should never be the reason to forego your dreams
I hope this doesn’t come off poorly, this is a true question. Would sending an LOI at this point hurt you and not help? Bc if you truly wanted to go there you would have sent one sooner that sending one this late would look more like you’re out of options and desperate?
I'm certainly not an expert on the subject, but I think it could hurt but more likely will help. If you have anything to share that you have not said already, whether it be specific activities/accomplishments or reasons you want to attend the school, go for it. But if you're going to repeat things you've said in a previous letter, or something they wouldn't look at favorably (ex: I play video games for 8 hours a day) then you're better off staying silent.
No worries, I understand your concern. Representatives of the school said sending them makes no difference in their decision. Therefore, I just planned on never sending one because I thought it would make me look desperate, but at this point I am. Ready to exhaust all options because the end is near. Didn’t know if things changed a little since the cycle is at its end? I guess I’ll plan on just finding ways to cope. 😂
If they didn't explicitly forbid it, and sending it will make you feel better, go ahead.
Yea I think that’s a substantial update
Feel like this is school dependent. For example the school I’m WL at historically has a cte around 6/5 and most movement is comes the few days before and after this date.
The school says they accept new letters. @gyngyn
Go ahead.I am currently working at the school where I am waitlisted. Would it be seen as annoying if I get an updated recommendation letter from some of the docs I work with? I don't want to send too many new letters and seem annoying but I also don't know what else to do at this point
There may still be a little more movement.
Sometimes you never know... a CTE may drop out for unanticipated reasons.
Given your previous efforts, it is unlikely to have any effect. If you will wonder whether this would have made a difference, go ahead. It's worth it just to avoid second guessing yourself later.So I just received news that a manuscript I submitted was just accepted to a top journal in the field. Do you think this is enough for a whole update letter?
For background I interviewed in September and have sent 3 updates and 1 letter of intent over a span of 7 months with each having significant updates with my last letter being in early April and I was waitlisted before that last letter. Each of these letters at multiple publications and other career achievements. I am just fearful that this would put me in the "annoying" pile for the adcoms.
Could really use advice
Congratulations!! This is so exciting <3
You can ask, but they might say no.
By the way they won't judge you for asking for an extension, as long as you are polite about it.
I’m worried that if I end up matriculating it will already paint me in a poor light to the dean/admissions, but am really hoping to stay in my home state for a multitude of reasons that have been expressed to both schools. Do you think just keeping a short and to the point email to the dean of admissions is sufficient, or should I explain my reasons.
also I have shown enough patience lol I want some news end my misery but also I have trust issues i submitted my reapp haha
Yes, there is a chance, but as time marches on, the odds begin to diminish.
give me your luck! congrats friend
