  1. hi addie. received a similar email to you; waitlisted and they will let me know if they decide to make offers to students on the waitlist. bleh. have you heard anything since the email about being waitlisted?
  2. just got a rejection email from UTEP. ouch.
  3. got the same email as well. best of luck to you! and thanks for the information :-)
  4. anyone apply to stony brook's social & health program? haven't seen anything in the results survey and haven't heard from the school aside from an email that was sent early january....any information would be greatly appreciated!!
  5. YES!! i get embarrased as well when family/friends inquire about the process. i also understand that i shouldn't be (my mentors keep telling me this), but easier said than done. even worse is that my peers who are in biology and chemistry are all getting into programs and when i have no updates about my "social science" programs (they already think what i do isn't science), it sucks big time. and of course, when talking to those peers AND family/friends, i sound like i'm making excuses when i discuss those external factors. i'm glad that this community is here as well, it's been helping me. thank you all for sharing...
  6. my second time as well. the first time, two of my LORs weren't great (i later found out that one was actually writing not-so-great letters for multiple students and the faculty in the department weren't happy). this time around, i applied to fewer programs (5 Ph.D and 1 MA)...and the fit with each school was definitely better. i heard back from one school (positive news) and emailed/talked to POIs for two of the remaining five programs. the news there wasn't great, so i'm assuming a rejection for both. as for the other three, i have yet to hear back. i think i'm dealing with it better this time around by reminding myself of the external factors that i have absolutely no control over (funding, which POI is accepting students, etc.). when my advisor asked me early in the year if there were other careers i was interested in, i couldn't come up with anything. i want, more than anything, to get my Ph.D. so that i can conduct research, teach and mentor. and i will make that happen. perhaps the road there will be different than what i initially imagined (and a bit longer), but you know what they say about delayed gratification! also, this is good preparation for the perseverance needed in academia! :-) hang in there and stay positive!!
  7. me three! haven't heard anything and i've tried calling with no luck.
  8. argh! just received an email from UTEP's social program and got excited for a couple of seconds...until i read it...apparently, applications have just been forwarded to the department for review. oh, the pain.
  9. I'm with you on that. I applied to 5 doctoral programs, and 1 MA program. Just one email from a POI so far and the wait is horrible. And all of the POIs I applied to work with will be at SPSP...
  10. Can the individual who posted about a skype interview with a POI at UMass PM me? I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
  11. Would love to hear from the person who posted the WashU Social interview as well! Please PM me. Thank you!
  12. @ scalia: YES! no posts yet for any of the schools i applied to and i am definitely anxious. just a general question for everyone: is it inappropriate to email the POI you contacted prior to applying to inquire about the status of your application? what is the ettiquete regarding this? thanks in advance to those that reply! best of luck to all of you.
  13. i actually didn't apply there; best of luck and keep me updated!
  14. thanks, william_james! congrats on the interview with stanford...if you don't mind me asking, who did you apply to work with?
  15. hi all: i received an email from stony brook university this morning (i applied to their social-health area). see below for part of the email. "...After careful review of the applications to our program, we are pleased to inform you that you have been selected for inclusion in the top group of prospective students. Admissions decisions have not yet been made, but only students in this top group are being considered for admission..."
