Waiting for admission answer from Dakota State University

Just curiuos if anyone who applied to the Doctor of Science program at DSU has heard if they got in? The application deadline was May 15th. Waiting and hoping.

Thanks

 

Expect to hear from them in June. The program is now very competitive compared to a couple of years ago when it was still new and not quite known. If your GRE score was good and you already have BS or MS is in Information systems, you stand a very good chance of being admitted. I think they also take into considerations scholarly work, and certifications. Best of Luck!

 

Thanks Cyber!

 

I have been waiting since September 30, 2010. It has been a long wait.

 

I have been waiting for a decision since last September 30, 2010. I can't get any information about my chances.

I have a so-so BS in mathematics (2.70) 1974 regionally accredited.
I have 3.62 for MS in Computer Methodology 1993. This a hybrid of CS and CIS. regionally accredited and AACSB Accreditation. I was inducted into AACSB local chapter.
I wrote a thesis on network security for MS that my thesis advisor worked with me to get published in 1999.
I have over 35 years IT experience. The last 10 working with mainframe networks (z/os communications server) and specifically in network security.
I have certification from Qualys in their Vulnerability and Risk Management.
I am working on paper discussing Brute Force Attack via SSH.
I got waived from the GRE because of my BS was earned over 30 years ago.
I have taught IT on the undergraduate level as adjunct for over 25 years. Also Business Statistics.

Yet I don't feel too confident about being accepted. I have been told that my file is being under review, and this is since October 2010. I have been told this many times.

Why do they encourage applicants to apply very early? It doesn't make sense to apply as early as I did.

 

You seem over qualified for admission. I think you'll receive a favorable admission later in June. I say June because that is when I received mine last year. Also, the issues of slow response and rigid policies are peculiar with traditional state schools who careless whether enrollment increases or not, after all, their jobs are not dependent on student increases instead on state allocations. That explains why for-profit online schools succeed in making money from doctoral programs (even though those degrees are looked down upon), while traditional public institutions struggle. Again, congrats! (I'm sure you'd be admitted).

 

I sent email to the graduate office on May 31. I got a response yesterday to expect decsion by the end of the month.

 

Good to know, thanks for the update.

 

I was wondering if anyone else experienced getting emails from DSU graduate office saying that everything had been received and was forwarded to admissions committee?

I seem to be getting these periodically. I wonder why. The most recent was last Friday.

 

emails

Yes, I am getting the same emails I called the admission office last week, they said a couple more weeks. the committee had reviewed the applications once and were going through them again before deciding.
