politica Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 I haven't heard from them yet- are you applying phd or master's? CONGRATS! I just received an acceptance from American University this morning for their MS program in Justice, Law and Society!! I had submitted my application in November but my last letter of rec. went in on Jan 26th. I'm not sure if they looked at it earlier or only once the whole thing was submitted but I guess I got my decision really fast. I thought at first that it was a mistake. Do you like American??

Panache Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Thanks! The Dean contacted me last week and then followed by his administrative assistant who will be arranging travel details. I am very excited about the opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wicked_Problem Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 UCI rejectee, my condolences. We have identical GRE scores -- what are the odds of that? I'm assuming that I am out too, but not willing to email the graduate coordinator because I'm unwilling to foreclose on the possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panache Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I would e-mail the grad coordinator if I were you. Say you are wait-listed if worded right it can express your interest in the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicked_Problem Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Made that inquiry on 2/1. Response: Our Admissions Committee has selected a group of students that it is recommending for admission, and those students have been notified. I was not given a waiting list this year, however, I have not yet been instructed to notify applicants that they have not been accepted. It may be a couple of weeks before all decisions have been made. We will let you know your final status as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msilangil Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I just got accepted to George Mason's M.A. program in Criminology! Still waiting on UMD, American, Northeastern, FSU, and USF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panache Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Congrats mslangil, that is great to hear!!! Today I got Accepted into Northeastern's PhD Program fully funded! They are asking that I confirm or deny my offer by March 8 which seems pretty soon to me. I always thought schools had to wait until April 15th.

They are asking that I confirm or deny my offer by March 8 which seems pretty soon to me. I always thought schools had to wait until April 15th. I got an offer like that too. I really do think that is super soon especially if you havent gotten to visit yet. Ask your POI if that is a hard and fast rule in your dept. Maybe its not... I'll cross my fingers for you and..... CONGRATS!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panache Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I agree especially since I am still waiting to hear from other schools and have still visit the schools I was accepted to (SUNY Albany, Rutgers etc.) It seems very soon to expect an answer like that for a 3-5 year commitment. Do you suggest I ask the POI about extending the date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhDreams Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 My POI told me about some fellowships that I was nominated for and how we could try to ask for an extension... Its worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wicked_Problem Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I didn't feel taken aback at all. I thought it was pleasant and respectful. The door isn't closed, however it is clear that I was not in the first round of acceptances like PhDreams was. Everything is information that helps lead to a decision in the end, once all options are clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msilangil Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Just out of curiosity, has anyone heard from UMD yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
politica Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 Just out of curiosity, has anyone heard from UMD yet? Did you apply for a master's or phd? They told me the masters decisions would be coming out in March. Also, just got in to John Jay for my master's! Having to make this decision between schools will not be fun.
