I applied for the fall term 2006 and havent heard from them yet. When do you ususally hear from grad schools regarding your applications?

I assume the deadlines you mention are the deadlines for YOU to respond to the offers you receive.\n\nI also assume the deadlines for application to these various programs were back in December, January, or February.\n\nNotification of admission or denial of admission cannot happen until all applications are received, and the departmental admissions committee meets a few times to make decisions on all applications.\n\nUsually, these decisions are then sent to the administrative part of the graduate school, and these administrators then send admission or denial letters out to the applicants. \n\nIn the graduate program I direct, we sent the last of our decisions to the administration last week.  It took us a bit longer than usual because of the large number of applications we received.  \n\nI'm guessing that since you appear to have reply deadlines in June, July, and August, you should hear from these programs by the first or second week of May.  At this point, however, it couldn't hurt to contact the director of graduate studies in each program and ask about their timetable.

Ask the organization you sent your application to.

I'm sorry ... never heard of them.  Perhaps you can try and sign up on Classmates.com and input your school info.  They have a "looking for" bulletin board or you might even find them registered there!

Contact your graduate school, or UMI (University Microfilms). UMI linked below.

I am quite flattered by your specific request for me, bar474744. If you wish to otherwise thank me, you can pick my answers in your previous two questions as "best". Now, onto fixing this introduction.\n\nI chose to apply for MSU because I believe it is one of the best schools that could offer an accredited degree, that I could rely on to build my future, for an affordable tuition. The location of MSU is convenient and safe, which helps coordinate my school days.\n\nIf you need any further help, don't hesitate to contact me at my email address.

I would provide them with pre-addressed, pre-stamped envelopes.  Assuming you have already asked you professor's for their recommendations, and they have agreed, you should let them know NOW that the deadline is 1 December, and contact them again on the 28th to confirm that they have been sent.  You are running a little late here, if people don't know they need to write a letter for you.\n\nAdmissions departments are usually generous with time for this deadline (although they aren't always generous with your own application!)

I didn't attend there (although I have visited the campus), but I do have strong opinions about size of schools.  Too big is difficult for some people.  I wouldn't have survived it as an undergrad.  I went to an enormous school for grad school, and it was ok then, but for undergrad, I really think the smaller schools are much better.  you get more opportunity to interact with the instructors, and get to know other students.

Part of my job is to recruit graduates for our in house graduate scheme, and we readily accept graduates that are still studying, its part of the terms of the job offer - that they fulfil their studying commitments.\n\nLook at it this way - when we recruit managers, sometimes they have to give up to 3 months notice, so recruitment can generally take a while anyway - graduate or non graduate.

People have given you some good advice here, and I just wanted to add one thing from my recent admissions experience.  I was just accepted to a PhD program (not psych, but another social science) with a 4-year funding package to work with a professor I really admire.  \n\nI wanted to share that one of the most important (and overlooked) steps in the grad school admissions process, in my opinion, is the program visit.  I was accepted at all of the programs I visited, and I was denied by the one I didn't.  I wrote to the grad program directors of the programs to which I was applying and requested interviews with professors and current students.  At my chosen program, I met with the professor who will be my advisor, the dept. chair, the admissions committee members, current students, the head of the certificate program I'll be pursuing outside the department, and, of course, the secretaries (also known as "the gatekeepers" in most programs).  It was a lot of hard work (and quite nervewracking), but SO worth it.  Not only did I get inside advice on the admissions process, I got a "good word" from the prof I wanted to work with and a good feeling about fitting in with the department.  \n\nI wish you the best!

Here's a guideline:\n\nWho am I (education, experience, awards, etc.)?\nWhy am I interested in this field of study?\nWhy am I particularly qualified for graduate study in this area?  How have I prepared for study in this field?\nWhy am I interested in this particular program?\nWhat is my potential specific area of interest?  Why?\nWhat are my interests or influences in terms of theory?\nWhat are my long-term goals?\n\nAnd for goodness sake, PROOFREAD for grammar and spelling errors!\nOh, and if there are any blemishes on your undergraduate transcript, or gaps in your preparation, explain them.\n\n(It's always a good practice to show familiarity with current literature in the field, especially if you are not submitting a current writing sample.)\n\nOne other piece of advice:  Tailor each statement of intent for each program.  Speak with your current professors before you apply, and ask about the strengths of various programs.  You should already know which scholars are of greatest interest to you as mentors, but it is always wise to ask current professors if they know these scholars.  (You may learn that Professor M, while brilliant, is a lousy mentor for grad students.)  \n\nHope this helps!

I suggest talking to an undergrad advisor if you are still working on your GEs.  If you are doing your major program, speak to your major advisor to get you help.\n\nIf you have a lot of "Fs" on your record, consider academic forgiveness, an option for all college students.  This will give you a chance to exponge all the Fs on your record, you need to check with your university for details, including an academic advisor if it is worthwhile.  WARNING: Most universities will only grant this ONCE.

Assuming that you meet all of their requirements for admission (i.e. a BA and some kind of Master's plus the required GPA), why not go ahead and apply instead of trying to outguess them.  Or at least go talk to a real live person instead of relying on what their catalog and website say.    \n\nYou are anticipating the worst when you haven't really tried yet.  You are reading between the lines and coming to conclusions that may not be warranted.  Go find out what the real story is.

They may have all the students that they can handle right now.  Or they can only take a certain amount of international students in graduate programs.  They also may be worried about how fluent you are in English.  Research what the prof is researching at the moment and mention that your background would be beneficial to their studies.  Also prof will only reply if they think that you fit with their department.  Universities are very hard to get into if you are an international student.
