I expected UT-Austin and UC-Davis to have their decisions out already. Last year they announced acceptances and rejections by the end of January. Has anybody heard anything from either of these programs?
-
Congrats to the NYU admit, big ups! Also, whoever commented on their Berkeley rejection "whatever that place is full of communists anyway," you made me chuckle.
-
Ah the annual Berkeley massacre.
-
I just followed TMP's advice and found the unroll.me process to be quick and painless. I hope it will save me some anxiety while I wait for acceptances/rejections. I just submitted my last application today. Now, I (and we) wait. Good luck everyone.

Thanks! Did you use a basic form letter, or did you personalize each e-mail?

Can I just say how much I love your Big Lebowski quote. You also applied last cycle, right?
-
What kind of stuff has everyone included in their letters to POI? I know the e-mail shouldn't be too long, but what should I really say?

Hey! I just wanted to check in to see how everything was going so far? Did you end up at UC-Davis? I can't remember.

Great! I'm happy for you, I'm also considering UC-Davis as part of my expanded search. As you may remember, I was admitted into the program at Florida International University but I deferred to give this another go. I must be the worst kind of masochist. So now I'm applying to some of the same schools, and some new ones I didn't include last year. We'll see what happens.

Hey, sorry it took me a while to get back to you. We recently came under contract to sell our home and are on a tight schedule to find an apartment. That in addition to having a one year old at home has taken most of my time. I hope to work with Andres Resendez, and am also interested in work done by Omina El Shakry, Rachel Jean-Baptiste, and Marian Schlotterbeck. Any insight?

After an unsuccessful 2015 season (one acceptance without funding and a waitlisting that was ultimately not picked up out of eight applications) I'm back for the 2016 season. Good luck to everyone.
-
Welp, UNC officially rejected me this afternoon. Here's holding out hope for UVA to pick me up.
-
So, have you come to a decision Chiqui? I think you've alluded to what you'll do, but are you holding out for Meeeeeechigan?
-
I too expect UNC's rejection to come no earlier than late March, while I still hang on to the hope of a late season acceptance. What presently causes me serious anxiety is waiting on UVA to let me know if they'll pick me up off the waitlist or not. UVA would be a dream come true.
-
Looks like UPenn decisions are coming out.
-
Congrats wacyeah!
-
Congrats all! I can't wait to reach the end of my cycle, I'm waiting to see if UVA picks me up off the waiting list--that would be a game changer for me. The anxiety is almost higher now because most of the hope and optimism from the beginning of the cycle has now been replaced by finality that comes with the end of the cycle. Good luck making decisions everyone.
-
Sorry Oliveur, that is certainly a bummer. Apply the lessons learned this cycle to next year and knock it out of the park.
-
What ashiepoo said. Don't let this get you down Josh, and you have every right to vent. We're all pulling for you and will help you as you move forward.
-
So sorry to hear about your rejections ForlornHope. I wish you luck in whatever you pursue next.
-
Thanks!

Question: What is the best way to look at placement statistics for departments and individual POI?
-
When will Chapel Hill put us all out of our misery? Anybody have any insight on this? I assume I've been rejected by Florida seeing as they've already sent out acceptances and invitations.
-
Chiqui, yes, I am already in Miami (and I got my MA at FIU). We can still get together for a beer though, that is of course if you're down. I work during the week, but if I do end up accepting FIU's offer (and right now it's my only offer so there's a good chance), I'm sure I'll be stopping by campus at some point this spring.
-
Josh, I'll second what ellebe said, turn up tonight and surround yourself with fun friends. Tomorrow, refocus and start the process over. That teaching job sounds amazing and I'm sure you'll be great at it, as well as enjoy the opportunity. Take the lessons you learned this cycle and apply them to the next. Who knows, maybe you'll get all acceptances next time. For now though, turn up and keep your head up.
-
Thank you all for the congratulations. And congrats to those who have decisions to make, and for whom the cycle is over.
