That’s how I felt too. My son went on a grad school forum and read about quite a few students that were left hanging, some didn’t know whether to take one school or another, emails went unanswered. It must be very hard. Some grad schools though were better than others (I told him to make a note of them!) Maybe with Psychology it’s worse, because they have so many students and so few slots, but it is quite a different experience. With undergrad, you had strict deadlines and offers early and any vagueness I detected on college sites seems quite different now, it’s all relative I guess.
I remember people telling me how things would be better when my son went to grad school because he would have a low EFC but I don’t think they realized it wasn’t like undergrad.
