  1. Thanks, good to know! I was starting to think I was the only one.
  2. Is anyone else still waiting to hear back from Chicago?
  3. Thanks for the advice, packrat, and congrats on the admit! I think surprise admits are probably the very best kind. Cupofnimbus, sorry to hear the feedback wasn't substantive. Did she simply acknowledge receipt of your email, or say it was a competitive year, etc.? For those others thinking about asking for feedback, I just noticed that Bear had posted about this from a faculty perspective. Definitely worth a read:
  4. Hi everybody, Like a few others on this forum, my cycle is now unfortunately over, without any acceptances to a PhD program. For myself and others who are considering reapplying, I'm wondering if anyone on here who has reapplied solicited feedback from the departments from which they were previously rejected? If so, who/how did you ask, and was the response substantive/honest/helpful in improving your odds? (I know there is another thread on beefing up your application for another cycle, but there seems to have been only one person so far who asked for feedback and the response they received didn't appear to be very constructive.) Thanks!
  5. Has anyone contacted Yale re: admission decisions?
  6. Hey everyone, Long time lurker, first time poster. I was unfortunately part of the recent Berkeley massacre (my top choice!). I applied to 7 PhD programs, and so far it has only been bad news. I'm starting to think my research interests are a little too out there. Out of curiosity, for those of you who have received acceptances (not to Berkeley necessary, but to any PhD program), did you contact any of your POIs in advance? Was your SOP very precise in laying out your research interests, or more general? EDIT: I should add, hearty congrats to all Berkeley admits! Truly amazing program. Same with those of you who have been accepted to Cornell, really great department.
