carlisle Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 pretty good i guess. applied to 6: 4 acceptances, 2 waitlists. waitlisted from my top choice, tho'. still waiting to hear back, but the longer i wait the less i expect good news. considered reapplying for next fall, but... the application process is a real pain!

addola Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 0% last year. 0% so far this year. Those that got accepted 3point14 What have you done to improve, because I get the feeling that I will have to do it all over again next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3point14 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 3point14 What have you done to improve, because I get the feeling that I will have to do it all over again next year. The first time I applied (during my senior year of undergrad), I think I applied to any random school that had a behavioral neuroscience program. After being rejected from every program, I did a second summer research program (though not in my field) which brought my total research experience to about 2 years. This also replaced my one fair letter of recommendation with a strong one. I also spent a lot more time tailoring my statement of purpose and researching schools and applying places where my research interests and the faculty's meshed. After striking out last year, I interviewed at all three PhD programs I applied to, and got accepted to my top choice, so coming back after a bad year can be done!

hope4fall2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 7 applications (2 acceptances, 3 rejections, 2 in limbo).. thats around 29%.. nothing to feel happy about, but glad I'm starting this fall..didn't really have a backup plan.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jspring86 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I ended up being accepted to 4 schools, wait listed at 1, and out-right rejected from another. I eventually told UW to take me off the wait-list because I didn't want to wait and i'm very happy going to ASU. Very pleased with my results overall.

Spytgale1 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 About 60%, 55% if you count the school I haven't heard back from yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sansao Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Let me get back to you on that one. For now, I'm still waitlisted at one school and haven't heard from two schools (one was a late application, the other is just taking their time, I guess).

Galahad Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Applied to 5, accepted to 2. One of the acceptances was my top choice by a mile so I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spore Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 For Fall 2012, I applied to two masters programs and was accepted to both. For Fall 2001, I applied to 12 PhD programs. I withdrew my application from one school, was accepted by 5 schools and rejected by 6 others. So I guess that is an approximate 50% acceptance rate. Mind you, I was a very different applicant 11 years ago than I am today. I applied this cycle as Spore, PhD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nala851 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Hmm, definitely was surprising with 3 acceptances and one waitlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
