This waiting period has been a trying time I must tell you.
Since I've not heard from 3 of the 4 schools I applied to, I decided to bombard them with mails.
It's like those people have mastered my mail so they refused to reply my mails.
Guess what?
I used my other email address to send the chemistry grad coordinator at ETSU a message inquiring about my application. While we exchange mails, he discovered that a wrong transcript and cover letter was forwarded to the department from the grad school.
I had a BSc in Ind chemistry with interest in MSc Analytical Chemistry but the transcript in my file showed B.pharm with interest in molecular biology.
I was sweating profusely.
So I decided to contact the graduate admin in charge of chemistry but she didn't reply my mail.
I took the courage and called her and she discovered that it was an error.
She then forwarded the correct file. I know the departmental decision has been made, according to grad coord; he said the graduate school would get bk to me shortly.
All these drama happened just 1-2 hrs ago.
Keeping my fingers crossed. I know God will favour me.

My advice to those in my shoes waiting for admission, don't hesitate to ask the grad coord your status; even if it involves calling.
Still trying to recover from the shock

Cutemorgan, thanks for standing by me

Don't mind that Brokman, she's old and expired. She doesn't want to resign. Yes, most decisions has been made, but I don't think you should have an issue though. Just keep your fingers crossed.

The grad cord just mailed me now

The graduate program in chemistry has received your corrected file, and
has recommended that you be admitted to the program. You should be hearing
from the graduate school shortly.

Fortissimo:


For personal consumption you can. But don't take it with you to the embassy!

slimmy2005:
Make sure after the decision, you personally email the grad coordinator that you want to be considered for GA position. If they don't offer you one, let me know. I can refer you to a department that can offer you tuition scholarship. First try the GA

Hi guys,

I got this $5,000 housing scholarship towards an on-campus apartment. It brings down my rent from $11k to $6k for the year.

Shoould I accept it? Is it better than staying off campus? Meanwhile, the campus is in Baltimore. Do you guys think it's a good deal compared to an off campus housing rent in Baltimore?

Thank you.

Fortissimo:


I think you should accept it o. For safety if not for anything else.

purplesummer:

Thanks a lot.
I'm thinking though...if there's a huge difference in rent, it may be wiser to take the cheaper of the 2. However,I don't know the probably rent in Baltimore.

Gurus please do all graduate assistantships ( whether full or partial) come with monthly stipends?
