Quick update post. Lowell recently sent me an informal acceptance at the beginning of March while American is still leaving me in the dark. Not sure if they are behind on their schedule or not so if anyone else has applied there and could give insight that would be appreciated.

Hello there! I have not heard back from any programs as of yet, but I am anxiously awaiting responses to roll in. I applied to 7 programs, but one of my recommenders was very slow submitting her letters, so I am hoping that does not effect my likelihood of getting accepted to any of the programs. Congratulations on already getting an acceptance! Have you heard back from any others yet? What are your research interests?
I haven’t heard from the others yet. Judging from past years I expect to hear from American and Lowell at the end of February. As for your letter writer I don’t think it will impact decisions. One of my letter writers was also a tad slow and the program (Lowell) had a few extra days of leeway past the initial deadline.
Right now I’m interested in the economic consequences and civilian responses to terrorism and mass shootings. There’s a lot of research in terrorism about its effects on the economy but very little for mass shootings. Then it’s always interesting to see how effective crimes like terrorism are in affecting the wider populace.
What programs did you apply to?

Didn't see the thread started for this year's cycle. Just received my first acceptance from Michigan State so hopefully others are hearing good news soon as well! Feel free to put your list of schools, research interests, or whatever else you feel comfortable sharing! My other schools I am waiting to hear from are American and UMass Lowell and I am focusing on terrorism and political violence within criminology. Best of luck to everyone!

Yeah, they just sent me a subtle rejection with an acceptance into a Master’s program. Came with a fee waiver so that was nice but still disappointing all the same. Congratulations on your acceptance!
