Graduate School Admission Results

I was hoping that good news would come from all the waiting. However, I could not have been more wrong, and it blows; UCSD is my dream school. Moreover, I am a recently separated US Navy veteran who worked in cryptology for close to 4 years. I have no published papers and did not go to a top university; however, I had three strong letters of recommendation, a strong SOP, a solid GPA, immense drive, dedication, and proven work experience, which I hoped would lead to acceptance. But, in the end, it wasn't enough. (Although I am very happy for all those who were accepted and hope all the hard work pays off!) P.S. While looking over the UCSD website and after contacting them about the university's demographics out of pure curiosity, I am unsure if they actually consider and or accept veterans. Additionally, when I asked how many actual veterans (those who served, not family members) attend, they said they do not have the information to give. So, if you're a veteran and find yourself curious about the inclusivity of this university, keep this in mind: you might not be as important of a consideration as others, and apparently, you have to be okay with it.

MASTER GPA 3.9

Applied to MS/PhD. 1 pub + 2 academic + 2 corporate internship + TAship exp

1 transaction paper and 2 conference papers (all first author)

"Due to the number of applications we have received and the limited number of spots in the PhD program, your application has been placed on a wait list." I have declined the spot.

Accepted off waitlist.

Letter in the mail (interviewed in January)

Rejected post-interview. 2 MS degrees. Top rated mental health counselor in the state with 15 mental health certifications and 55+ 5 star ratings. 13 publications on human behaviour including one in Nature, a book, 16 presentations. Oh and I teach Introduction to Clinical Psychology at a local university. I am certain this is because I didn't attend the student meet and greet because I was in a major meeting (I'm in a union and they were finally welcoming me PROPERLY) into the union. Oh well they are completely overpriced anyway for a degree with a really low licensure rate.

Accepted off waitlist, will probably decline

Rejected for Technical Communication and Rhetoric PhD program, but offered admission to Interdisciplinary MA, with eligibility for scholarship

if you decide not to go, please decline the offer as soon as possible. Thank you very much!

Interviewed in mid-january

Got off waitlist

Ignored Status** Wondering if anyone has heard back from Fielding Graduate University following an interview? Thanks!

No interview or open house invite.

Called to ask when I might hear back about a decision and was told they had no information. An hour later I got an email saying I was accepted. No need for interview.
