I have two shih tzus. I know it may be difficult to find dog-friendly housing, but they're definitely coming with me. I will pass the link on to the one other student I know. Thank you!

I'm in! I can't seem to find the group on facebook. Can you please post a link? I'm interested in finding a roommate that likes dogs.

I would suggest living in Salisbury. During the tourist season, traffic can be terrible. So, the less you have to drive, the better. Maybe go to Family Watchdog Find registered offenders and look for neighborhoods that don't have much crime. Tha...

Oye and cbrubaker, did you guys get a wait listed letter initially?

Wow! Congrats! I bet you didn't expect that, after all this time. What a great surprise!

Ms. Boger told me that there are more than 30 names on the wait list, and that if there is a ranking, she's doesn't have that information.

I PMed you.

Yup, I'll be focusing on pre-reqs, but I think I'll also look into options at Chesapeake. I feel really strongly about getting a bachelor's, but I'm not willing to move, so Salisbury is my only reasonable choice. I think I need to take a little tim...

Got the same wait listed letter.

Ohhh, yes! Please share any info from the department.

I'm actually hoping to not get a wait list letter. I want a yes or no decision. The thought of being strung along for 6 months is painful and stressful. Don't feel bad about posting. I like to know what's going on with everyone else.

Does it give any info? Where you are on the list? If you don't hear by a certain date, then assume a 'no'? I'm at work, so I haven't gotten my mail yet. It's going to be a loooong three hours.

Hopefully you all are more on top of this than I am, but I just realized that FAFSAs are due tomorrow. Get yours in!

I've been away for work for several days, which really helped my anxiety. I couldn't check my mailbox and I was busy with the conference. It was a really nice relief to be away from the worry. But, now that I'm back, I'm also feeling disappointmen...

That's great, Claire! Congrats!

Thanks, Veg. You've got a good point.

I just checked my mail. I feel like my last bit of hope is gone.

I'm being kind of obsessive, I'm sorry. Does your friend live in MD?

Cmullen, what does your letter say about reserving your space? Do you have to make a deposit be a certain date? Just wondering if there is any info that may give us some insight on how they deal with their wait listed people.

I just realized Monday is a holiday. No mail!! Why did they have to send notices over a holiday weekend?!

Huge congratulations!! You must be so happy!!

I think it's great we have such diverse backgrounds. It will make for interesting classmates and group of friends!

Since I read about the telephone calls, I have also been obsessive about checking this board. What are your backgrounds? I'm just wondering about the mix of people who are attracted to this program. I'm a marine biologist and have a MS degree. All ...

I don't think having pre-reqs not yet completed makes your application weak. I'm probably biased, because I am also still working on mine, but I think our transcripts and essay are much more important than completing 100% of the pre-reqs by now. I ...

Oh shoot! I was hoping no one would reply and say their name was at the end of the alphabet! Oh well, there goes that excuse. I'm still hoping...but getting more nervous!
