Overview Okay, the waiting game has just begun. All these processes and procedures take time. Paperwork takes awhile to reach it's destination via snail-mail.
Committees take their time to stew about who to accept or reject.
Calculations for financial aid awards take time to complete, and if all goes well, it still takes time to notify you of any good news. There are some additional things you may want to consider while you wait, just to make sure you have all your bases covered, and can appear to be a superstar that should be admitted, or receive that aid that you have applied for. Prepare a statement of purpose. This is a great opportunity to show the committees exactly who you are and what your dreams may be. Proving you are an ideal candidate for any given program is not always easily done in the space provided on the applications.
