This schools are unpredictable... I received decision letter immediately my second reference approved my recommendation letter.

I applied for a PhD, I suspect they couldn't find a professor with TA/RA for me and they quickly discarded my application.

Infact, I find the UWM to be one of the weirdest schools I know. They were the second school that loved me up and a confirmation that some schools really just reject you even if you meet requirements (a lot do not sha). Their Panthera system for application is ambiguous and you never know where you're at in the application process. I applied in November and didn't get any notification, confirming payment or asking me to add a document or providing me with a timeline or anything whatsoever. Just dead silence, after collecting my money. Only for me to email issions about it last week and they handed me love letter within two days. I guess I pissed them off. And their acceptance rate is above 89 percent or so. Now I'm scared to be asking schools for delayed decisions.

So you can imagine my surprise when that lady/guy up there, said that they gave her/him ission within a week! What a joke! That is one weird school, alright.

I don't think you received a love letter from them because you inquired about your application. And for the guy that received ission within a week, I think it's because of the program he applied for.

At the end it all boils down to the program you applied for. In my case, I received a rejection email from the graduate coordinator before the graduate school sent me their "decision letter" as they called it.

You paid for application @ UWM? Where you not aware of their Virtual Open house? It was among my free schools and I have come to understand that schools that grant waivers are very competitive. I believe that's the major reason for the rejects.

Strange as it might seem, it's a thing. If I was waitlisted and demanded an immediate decision, that is exactly what will happen. The H.I program's competitive alright, but UWM usually will not wait to accept all applications before reviewing individual apps and November's as early as early goes for fall term apps. Plus, I would imagine that most schools do open house days that everyone cannot attend..It has almost never affected Masters applicants, negatively.

Again, I paid for the application. I know not to apply to schools during their free app periods, because I know how that can hamper ission, especially if you need funds. Or was that what happened? Was the virtual house thing done in November?

Well, thank God you have that single special one, that is more than enough to forge ahead...
I truly thank God my efforts were not in vain and I got something in the end.

I've received in excess of 20 rejections this week alone. If I had not been in communication with so many other applicants going through the same thing I impact would have been more on me. My soul sef is weary.

You really tried, trying to wrap my head towards how much went down on app fees
You will surely have the best πŸ‘Œ
chibertha(f): 5:56pm On Mar 18, 2023
If it is for spring 2024 tell her you will take it and differ your till then even after getting your visa.
Dreamsss:


Amen oo.

Congrats in advance jare. Keep practicing your pitch on how you tutored students; your strategies to get them engaged, what you enjoy in it...you can use Google for basic teaching assistant questions. I don't think they ever go crazy as to ask really professional teachers questions, but go the extra mile, if you can.

Funny thing is that one woman told me she has an opening in January, without even any interview...then when I reminded her that I was itted for the fall term, na she say na spring she de find...mscheww. Tease.
Of cos, I still de her neck like this..for toying with my emotions.

It's not. She said it's for Spring 2023...after I'd finished accepting. Something in her email, made me rethink and I went back to remind her that it was fall ission I got and boom!

Funding will come, and if it doesn't, you get a bank statement and head to the embassy, when you get on campus you look for graduate assistantship in other departments. God no go shame us.
