Thanks my e-family. Now I can grow back my hair!!!!

So apparently an email with the offer was sent on Feb 22 but I never received it. Anyway, just this evening, I randomly checked through all my portals as I normally do every week and saw two buttons to accept or reject offer. I literally flew out of my window. Took me sometime to wrap my head around it. I immediately called the department for clarifications. It was then I was told about the mail. Told the grad coordinator there was nothing, even in my junk folder. She just resent it with the financial package. Truth be that, I held out no hope for Penn State and Carnegie Mellon. Was busy crying over Ohio State and UVa.

Anyway, 1/6..... Keep them coming!!!

Good luck to all of us still awaiting news!!! It is well. Please keep checking your portals. U never can tell when something will pop up!

That's why I asked for her profile so it could save people like me and you from asking lots of questions:

Undergrad course and GPA,
MSc GPA,
GRE (Verbal and Quant scores)
TOEFL scores
Work Experience
Papers Published
Date of application and decision date ... e.t.c

Oya drhopeful do the needful ASAP cool ... I think admits should be announced like that to save time and stress ... these threads are not fun to read at all cry but we just have to do it and contribute in anyway we can.
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by 234ng44uk(m): 7:47am On Feb 28, 2017
She already stated all that, most, in her previous post. However, I support the idea of having a format to report admission decisions.

Congrats to everyone that has been accepted and good luck to those still waiting...

To those applying in the not too distant future, please take note that it takes more than having a great GRE score to get admitted and offered funding. The application is usually considered as a whole, ensure you take time to find out about the program, get all the required documents, write a convincing SOP and be prepared to defend your decision for grad school(if need be).

I wish everyone the best of luck.

Congratulations @drhopeful

I need clarifications in these area

1. How long does it take to send ones GRE score to another school?

this second is a bit long. pls read

2. I didn't register my GRE by myself, its from a consult that helps in registration . I want to send my GRE score to some other set of schools , and since I read on earlier threads here than it is cheaper to send the money via ones bank and not third party because they will charge with the parallel market rate.
I have consulted the person and he is like he cant remember the password he used to create my account but if I need to resend, I should send the money to him and he will use remember password to ask GRE to send my score to the other school.
What should I do?


Thanks in Anticipation.

Thanks in Anticipation.

The first thing is for the person to use remember password to get a new password. The new password should be given to you, at this stage you need access to your account. Did you use BY MAFIT?

If your school has an ETS code and they are set up to receive scores electronically, it should take between 3 to 7 days. The days are for processing after payment as well as processing at the school as the electronic sending is almost instantaneous.

The last time I checked, ETS only accept Visa cards and PayPal.
