so... as the title says.. i havent heard back from 10 places with some places having already sent out acceptances...

whats happening with places like u penn, columbia, ucla, and boulder?

do you think i can send them emails and ask about my status?

i think those places already (maybe except u penn) sent out acceptances

does this mean i got rejected :'(.

(if my post didnt comply with the rules here, i apologize. )

Yes, at this point, it is acceptable to send a polite email or make a polite phone call inquiring about your application status. I would start with the schools that have already sent decisions to other applicants and then ask the schools who have yet to send decisions. Good luck!

Please share here if you receive an answer from UPenn. Thank you and good luck

thank you to both of you above and i will definitely let you know if i hear something from u penn.

none of my friends heard from u penn either so...

Actually, a POI told me they already sent first-round offers so let's hope we get in the second one

so... they got back to me today via email

they said they are still making decisions on a daily basis.. continued patience required....

There's a chance then. Let's hope we get in

I have applied for MS ( Central Michigan, Miami University of Ohio). My PGRE is 710, and have MS outside the US ( GPA: 3.4). But there is no sign from these universities . Its very annoying.

Same here man. Waiting for both those places. I have a MUCH worse GPA than yours though.

I hope you to be admitted. Do you know about their admission process and applications level? when they will release the results?

Both those universities told me that they'll be making their decisions around mid March. Good luck. I hope you get in too.

Hi, did you hear from Miami University? I was told that I am on the waitlist. They made their first offers yesterday.

No I didn't hear anything. What does it mean? I have rejected?

Email them and ask if you are on the waitlist. Even I was told of it only after I emailed them.

I am in wait list too Bligter! Have you heared anything from central mich? They have released first round offers.

Have they? I haven't heard anything.

I have not heard from few places too. They have already sent offers. I did not receive any reply of inquiries about my application status. Is it common to give up without finding out what really happened to your application?

Don't they understand that at least we deserve an email about our application after we paid application fee, made an effort to apply, and virtually begged our professors to send LOR??

agreed, I understand that they're busy handling other department administrative duties and sifting through the volume of applications is very time consuming, but there have been quite of few cases on this forum where even well after april 15th applicants have not heard back from some schools
