So after being pretty sure of a shutout, I've just been accepted into a fully-funded MA programme!!!!! Beyond shook
If anyone has attended UK, please do drop me a message!
omg so many congrats!!! I am a UK person, but can you be more specific? Which uk are we talking about here?
-
Honestly, I submitted 2 hours before the deadline. I think this way, too, a lot, all the time
-
As a sidenote, can I please please please ask anyone accepting the UT-Austin offer to get in touch (if they want to). I would love to make a start on being social with the cohort, even as/if we are passing some of the most anti-social times ever. I know we are attaching names to faces during the recruitment event, but why not earlier?

Okay ALSO. SERIOUSLY. My status never left In Review at UT Austin and I keep seeing people saying they got status updates like, "Your application has been forwarded to the admissions committee for review" and this never happened for me. Did anyone who has been accepted to UT Austin NOT get the "your application has been forwarded to the admissions committee for review" status?
I've been hearing very different things on this, tbh, and I don't think it's a good indication of how things will progress. Some people (like me, had 'admission committee' from pretty much day 1), other saw a change later, and others no movement at all. It's odd.

If people feel otherwise, please chime in. I definitely don't think it would be wrong to let them know if it is in response to your waitlist email. This is how I framed my waitlist response last year:
1. I thanked them for considering me for their program and told them that I wanted to use this opportunity to share what I have been up to since applications had been turned in
2. I wrote about new accomplishments
3. I reiterated that this was my dream program and that I would eagerly matriculate if extended an offer
Again, it might have just been printed out and put in my file, but I think that it showed that I was still actively building my resume even after submitting my applications.
Best of luck, though! And feel free to message me if you have other questions on that!
Thank you friend! When you refer to a response to the waitlist email, do you mean one and only response? Because i did write back to thank the dgs and tell him to reach out if they need anything from me or to clarify anything. But the acceptance came only this week. So based on what you both have said, i think i will write back tomorrow reiterating and adding the pub information. That is, if they don't reject me before i have to do so lol

Waitlisters, would you inform the insititution/dgs for a recent acceptance with minor revisions (mine is not refereed, but I would say very respected and known, like a graduate refereed journal). The piece itself is a research article, so not journalistic.
-
Hi waitlisters and stress warriors! I am currently waitlisted at WUSTL--I would really appreciate if the offer holders also have other offers lol
If there are any tactics to increase the waitlister's odds, let's talk about them
-
I am sure UT Austin is releasing decisions today. How do i know?!?!? I was searching for a wifi psw, and saw this......any else sees the UTa in the middle....

Guys, will it be rude and insensitive to send a Texas POI a question about app status?

Anyone else following along with the U Rochester Visual Studies drama??? It's super crazy that the department JUST decided to cancel all admissions. I'm just hoping they don't pull that crap with the English PhD program as well.
Oh my, do you mean post-application? that's so negligent...having everyone spend so much time, mobilizing so many people to get everything rdy...
-
Hi all. Are there any offer-holders from WUSTL here? (Congrats btw!) Anyone would like to share if they are considering giving up the offer for something else?
-
Hi all! I have been checking this forum for a bit, cheering with all your successes and showing solidarity behind the screen when things don't go as well. Quick question for those who have brought WUSTL into the conversation...I have not received anything so far but I have talked with the admin. I know that I did not receive an offer (lol) and was not in those who received the waitlist couple of days ago, but the admin told me that my application was ranked high. So, are they just keeping it to see how many with give up their offers or did they just forgot to reject? any thoughts would be appreciated!

BU rejection on the board! Is today the day we are finally set free!?
They are the worst. Future applicants be warned: just go for other unis, it's not even worth the trouble. Sarrih.

Just got a very kind and understanding email from Michigan (looks like it was sent to all waitlisted applicants) talking about how they understand the frustrations caused by these delays, expressing thanks for our patience, and also answering some common questions about deadlines, etc. I think I just fell a little bit more in love.
Truly wish you get it. Your passion is dancing on my screen right now!!

Posting about BU now almost has a sense of nostalgia attached to it.
Oh BU, do you remember when we were both young? Full of hopes and dreams and laughter. How naive we both were that summer. To be that young again...
When I woke up, I saw two posts on the results for BU. PEOPLE are really not happy with them...

Finally heard back from BU re: acquainting admits to the program (they’ll be trying to schedule online or phone chats with faculty). I’m relieved but wary about how that’ll go...
I know it’s been said but I’m just really bummed I couldn’t visit either of the schools. I feel like it’s so important and it makes me very nervous to choose “blindly.”
I am sorry to hear that. Perhaps revisiting your original reasons why you applied to each may help. (sad tip on what I would do If I had offers to contemplate).

That is horrible. I am so sorry they treated you that way; that's unacceptable. There is nothing wrong with asking questions, especially when you've been left in the dark. I don't appreciate their conduct at all. Please don't let them make you feel stupid.
Many thanks for this. I try not to, because they were the odd uni out as I said. I know that people complain about cambr admin sometimes, but coming from cambr I was not prepared for this level of inadequacy.
