Nichi Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 On 3/3/2017 at 1:32 AM, Tecumseh Valley said: In the interest of crowd-sourcing information, I wonder if we could pool together what we have learned from this year's admissions cycle about acceptance rates. Many times, our acceptance letters, rejection letters, or conversations with DGSs will disclose how many people applied for how many funded spots. So, it might be interesting to pool this information together. I started a spreadsheet here, and included samples with two schools that have been mentioned in our forums recently - Oregon and New Mexico. It's an openly editable document, meaning anyone with the link can edit. Would it be of any use to include information on what the target size is if we know that but not how many initial offers are made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tecumseh Valley Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I'd think so. Anything to give more feedback on the selectivity of the school's would be helpful for future applicants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't somebody already receive an acceptance about a month ago, though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, maybe they sent out one round of acceptances? Sometimes they do it in waves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that's the case. I guess I took the email from BC to mean all of the responses would be sent out together around mid-March. It probably just meant they will all be sent out by mid-March.

That's what it sounded like to me too, so I'm not sure. I just wanted to know if I'm still in the running for the PhD if I haven't heard anything, which it sounds like I am. No news is good news, right? ...Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akraticfanatic Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Final tally: Accepted: Brandeis (MA) BU (MA) BC (MA) Suffolk (MS in Ethics & Public Policy) Rejected: Harvard (PhD) BU (PhD) BC (PhD) Tufts (MA) I'll most likely be taking the offer from Brandeis. goldenstardust11 and Dysexlia 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
