Forsaken in LA

Hmmm. I'd like to hear what others think. I would say hold off, but then what do I know?

Me too! I heard they did interviews already? Maybe?

Still rocking the zero rejection, zero acceptance. This sucks.

Did you get an interview Jonaki? I'm just wondering because I did not, and I think that means I'm out of the running. I've not heard anything back from my POI since early January.

Well, good luck this week everyone!

I decided to apply to MA programs after realizing that I was extremely under qualified to all of the PhD programs I applied for. Without published articles, or TA positions, I felt very insecure about my applications. I understand that my MA could possibly cost me a few extra years that may not transfer to the eventual PhD program, but I believe that it will help to create a more competitive application for the next round.

I woud say that if you were to inspect the CV's of individuals who hold positions in the fields you are interested in, you could tell what level of education you may need. I believe that if you desired a tenured position at an academic institution, you would need a PhD. I am very new to this however, and my advice should be taken as such.

I'm at my field site right now and I'm supposed to be paying attention. Obviously I'm not. I'm going nuts.

congrats on your acceptance dtpowis!

Congrats!

Bummer NOWAYNOHOW, sorry about that.

Ouch, sorry to the folks who got Princeton rejections today, keep your head up.

NOWAYNOHOW Pm'd you

Generally should it be taken as a good sign to get a notification from the financial aid department that they have received your paperwork and are processing it?

What is up with Cornell? They seem to have notified by now in the past.

Although I have my bouts of severe agony worrying about this, I still believe that we should all remain positive regardless of the final outcome. If you don't make it, hit the drawing board and retry next year. But don't give up hope yet!

Same boat...

I bet you did great Daykid! do you mind me asking where your first choice is? I understand if you don't want to post. I'd love to hear your stats and research areas if you happen to have the time and care to pm. No worries though, and congrats again, your year is going splendidly!

Damn Daykid! I didn't see you had one as well. Congrats, that's great! When did you get your notice? Did you post it? I'm guessing I'm not getting one. Boo hoo.

anyone on here going to claim this mornings U of Chicago interview?

yeah what gives? I'm interested in this too. I just want something to happen for somewhere I applied at! I'll be the sad person in March receiving all my rejections.

Congrats to you both!

Another U of Chicago interview. Bollucks

Should it be taken as a positive sign that you were searched? I was searched today through academia.edu and don't have anything published, or any reason for anyone to search me.
