Delay in admission...
A

Milly_Cat :-) Thank you for the answer so much. I might not be as much aware of the process of admitting students, but since that Prof. said "several students graduate soon" - then there is more places than one to fill up. Especially that they have my docs since April. I have already started looking for other PhDs, but I am already frustrated about the costs I will have to pay for all the applications and asking again for recommendations. What I hold on it to hope that if they withheld my application so long, then they would be fair and rather say "yes", because it seems fair. I understand they must have a lot of applicants and want the best ones, but still, making people wait and knowing their career is stopped at this time, seems quite ignorant. Come on, it is a PhD, not a job like a waitress or a housekeeper, we want to have our career plan with every detail and not to loose time. Harsh words, but I'm frustrated now. Thank you again for rational advice and I will do as you said. I felt ignored by Prof . and don't know if that means good that he takes more time than he said to make a decision, or bad because he is already not respecting me by not holding his promises.
Uff.. I hope that decision would be positive and of course I will say here what is will be , regardless of response... Now I'm going to read this useful forum a little more ;-)

Delay in admission...

I have applied to University for a PhD and it was after the deadline. However, in the beginning of May I got the mail from Prof. that there will be opportunities not starting from August, but later - in January semester. I thought I was admitted, since they got all of my documents! But then I was mailing with Prof. about the research he does in his lab, I assured him I am interested and so. We also talked over the phone two and a half weeks ago. He said he has to talk over some details with graduate admissions lady. Now I'm still waiting and I wrote e-mails to both of them and I'm really worried, about the delay and waiting.... I don't know whether I should look for another PhD (but this one is interesting for me and I don't know if I will find one like this somewhere else... especially that the clock is ticking and I'm doing nothing now!). Last mail I wrote was this Monday.. He said he will give me the reply this week and I's already almost finished . I'm just depressed, what should I do, call ? I don't want to appear a stocker but the waiting in vain is so frustrating :-(
What should I do? Do you think I will still have a chance to apply to other advisor? I spend a lot of money for the application process, as the international student... Can they delay so much? :-s:-(
