I got an offer from Miami U of Ohio yesterday afternoon 🙂
I got an offer from Miami U of Ohio yesterday afternoon 🙂
WTF! M'thinks I'm going to spontaneously combust.
I just received an admissions offer from NIU (off the wait list)!!!
I cannot believe that I also just screamed like a little girl. I am in no way a "girl-y" person (even though I am indeed female). So, I call my husband to share the good news. First, he answers the phone with "hold on". I continue jumping around the house.
Good thing my child is not home as it was 10x worse than when I got an interview offer from there (top choice!) and he told me, "Mommy, I know you're excited but you really need to calm down and stop jumping around the house." HE'S SIX!
hehe, anyway, husband then comes back on the phone to tell me he's busy and can it wait. Grrrr . . . As everyone I know is otherwise occupied, SDN gets to bear the grunt of my currently overly excited self!

i thought I'd publically post this, for those of us who are still slogging through waitlists... CONGRATS, paramour, btw:
Several folks have asked me how I went about asking profs about my status.
Here is an example e-mail I wrote to my top choice:
Hi Dr. Rejectsalot,
I hope you're doing well.
I wanted to shoot you an e-mail to check in about decisions at University of Fatchance.
After visiting, I was very impressed with U. FatChance's program and it quickly rose to the top of my list. Having received some positive information
from another school, I'd like to, if possible, know where I stand with
you guys so I can make some informed decisions.
Have the decisions for admission been made at U. FatChance, as of yet? If so, where do I stand?
Thanks so much for the information, and thanks for setting up a great
interview weekend 🙂
Sincerely,
Psychhopeful123
I hope this is helpful. All profs wrote me back thanking me for checking in. They tend to like proactive students, methinks.
. . . unless they come back and tell you that you should probably find another place to go. I suppose that would suck. 😀
Congratulation Paramour! It is like a party here thanks to you!
There are so many school initials. Just to be sure which school in NIU?
Also, how long have you been going through this process- I can't remember from reading so many other posts?
psychopeful123 said:Actually, my top choice POI "advised me to accept another offer" That was a total bummer...
Congrats again on the waitlist acceptance... I am so thrilled to hear you so happy 🙂🙂
Even though I don't post that much... I really love hearing about all of y'all's successes!
dubbs07 said:I loved your sample email. You've inspired me to send out some inquiries to people I've been too cowardly to contact. 🙄 "U. FatChance" totally made me smile, which is a big deal since I seem to be scowling 24/7 lately!
long shot said:I never got rejection letters from several schools, they couldn't extend the courtesy of telling me I wasn't worth their time, so I called them and told them I accepted another offer and officially withdrew my application. 😉
Okay, I just received an email from one of the profs I interviewed with at Northern Illinois wanting to confirm that I had received an offer from the program director. And, I thought I was obsessive with wanting to check up on every little detail.![]()
i was wondering if anyone (non-neuropsych or child focus) has heard back from penn state yet. the interviews were 6 weeks ago, so i'm starting to lose my patience..
Has anyone heard anything officially from BU??? I am considering emailing my POI....
has anyone heard from yeshiva combined school-child clinical psyd?
I called Yeshiva this morning, because they had said at my interview that we would be notified on/about March 12. The guy in admissions said they sent out acceptance letters "a few days ago", though couldn't remember exactly what day (so helpful!). He also said the rest of the letters would go out by April 1.
I'm starting to feel discouraged, as nothing came in the mail today...
