Hello house, How would one get off a waitlist? Safe schools are not safe anymore. I got a mail from BGSU that I have been wait-listed for funding. My rank on the waitlist is 25 out of 32 strong applicants and there are just 8 GA positions for Masters students. In fact, I was given a long advice including deferring my admission to Fall 2018 or accepting a position in another school. Please, is this not a gentle way of being rejected? . I had two academic recommenders and one non-academic and they were not okay with the nonacademic. I was advised to use three Mathematics faculty as recommenders. |

andradaeze: Lmao @ Safe schools are not safe anymore! I did 2 non-academic out of 3 recommendations and got away with it. BGSU has gone gangster on you. That kinda wait list isn't a beautiful one coupled with the subtle hints asking you to have more faith in your other options. |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Scholastica16: 4:13pm On Mar 22, 2017 |
andradaeze: Timing of application. I guess you applied later than the people they have accepted and funded plus they feel you used them as a safe school (based on the strength of your profile) so they assumed that one other better school must have accepted you. As per the recommender, just aimless nitpicking but I know they are more particular about those things for research based programs like a PhD. It is well. |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Scholastica16: 4:17pm On Mar 22, 2017 |
iCool: Yours is for professional masters I guess or they interpreted it as such. They are usually not lenient with the flouting of their 'academic recommenders' criteria for research programs I am 99% sure of that. If anything, I'd be slightly worried if they gave me such a pass because it may indicate that they will disappoint you with respect to funding. I believe HappyDay hinted at it when he said schools do not fund non-thesis based programs. And if you were in doubt as to whether they considered you as Thesis or non-thesis then the 'non-academic referee' may be an indicator. |

In fact, I was still mooning over the mail from BGSU and another mail just entered. All these schools, they want to spoil my day today. It shall not work for them. Mail from Ohio University- Admitted to Masters without funding... I think I need to go and have some ice-creams with some friends,then go for a movie, then....,then..... then...prolly come back very late. Then sleep. 1 Like |

Topiipii: andradaeze: Good day Dr. X, I hope this meets you well. I was recently accepted into the department of X and Y at your institution for a Master's program. Yours was at the top of my list so you can understand my excitement on receiving the email. I am using this opportunity to express my interest in securing a position in the department as a research or a teaching assistant. Apart from the tuition waiver and maybe stipend that the position will assure me of, I am vying for it because I believe it falls within my long term academic ambition to push for a doctoral position in your institution at the conclusion of the masters program and I am convinced that participating in an assistantship will help nuture me into further graduate study. Let me chime in at this point to state that I am extemely resourceful; time conscious; diligent and above all disciplined enough to more than contribute my own fair share to the success of my program, the department and the University of X or Y as a whole. In fact, when you meet me in person you would agree. Thank you for taking your time to read this. I will be expecting a response from you Sir/Ma. Regards, Topiipii/Andradaeze You have nothing to lose. They already gave you the admission they cannot rescind it at this point. Besides, they know graduate school is expensive. You can even tell them FX issues in Nigeria will forestall your academic dreams. But waiting by and by will do nothing as they would assume you are OBO. 34 Likes 11 Shares |

Scholastica16: My program is Thesis based and I am fully aware I got away with it. I had no choice, chasing those lecturers would have been hell. All three schools I have seen so far gave me funding. |

iCool:Talking about safe schools not safe anymore! UConn just sent me a rejection!!! So much for a safe school. Anyway, no hard feelings. Going somewhere much better! On recommendations, I mixed and matched 2 academic and 2 non-academic. For my successful school, it will surprise everyone that I used 1 academic and 2 non-academic. It was the first app I submitted and at that point, I had no feedback on my request from my 2nd academic which was supposed to be my strongest recommender. I guess God works in mysterious ways. I am totally grateful!!! My prayers for scholastica16 and the rest of us waiting. Good news must surely come! 3 Likes |

drhopeful: I feel for UConn: They lost out big time. Even though I don't even know if anyone bar you can look at Uconn as a safe school It is always good to hear from you on this thread and thank you so much for the prayers- I need it. Very soon, I'd be sharing my own success story as you have done and will still do. Goodnight. 2 Likes |

iCool: shayhune: My bad. This goes to show that these schools make up the rules as they go. iCool, instate tuition and 1000$ a semester is great but you can get something way better than that including GA, RA or TA so you don't even pay a dime. These days, instate tuitions are not as cheap as they used to be because of our exchange rate. |
