The complete application thread

[weirdo]

whats up with hopkins? Any info? they had given the january 22 deadline to wait till contacting them..my online application status still says most of the material has not been received..

[Jhai]

Mine does too. I'd just leave it for a few more days. If we both have nothing changed by the end of the week, I say we contact them.

Me too.

I've heard application complete info from:

Iowa
Indiana
Wisconsin - Madison
Stanford (from the Econ of Education program - school of Ed)
Purdue

Nothing from:

Northwestern (although everything looks good from the online application)

A question about Purdue - I just heard from them, and they have a late deadline (Feb. 15), and they said decisions would be made by May 1...isn't this too late? Don't most schools need a commitment by sometime in April - or do I have that mistaken?

Has anyone run into this problem at Purdue or elsewhere?

Did Wisconsin send you an email? According to their web site, my file is complete but I haven't received any email confirmations. Yes, if Purdue takes this long to make a decision, it could be a problem. However, according to thegradcafe.com it looks like, last year, they started making decisions in February.

Does ASU send application complete notice or do I have to ask them myself?

[eager_applicant]

ASU has the online checking system, like Michigan. You need to sign up for it, though, using the password etc that was sent to you in your "thanks for turning in your online app" email. Go to the graduate school and look for the section for "prospective students." There should be a link that has something about checking application status. This is where you set up your account, using the ID number sent to you in the aforementioned email.
