Finally heard from NYU today and I got offered an unfunded Masters. Turning it down though. I guess it's at least good to know that one other school kind of wanted me.

Well I just accepted WashU's offer of admission. Very excited of course. While I have yet to hear from NYU, this process is over for me!

I just emailed them. Did you check that you are willing to consider an MA with them if they reject you for Ph.D.? I did and I suspect that's the reason I haven't heard.

Aww, thanks Sigaba! That's the plan of course . I'm lucky to have WashU though. I won a second fellowship in American Studies from them last week, so I don't think I'll be turning them down.

I haven't heard from them yet (I assume I'll be rejected too!). But hey, why should it matter, we're both going to WashU next year!

That has to be a good sign for you. I was rejected by Virginia last night. Not a big deal for me though because they aren't particularly strong in my period of American History and I definitely wouldn't have gone there. I just got nominated for an additional fellowship in American Studies at WUSTL. Very excited about this opportunity!

My adviser is talking to connections she has at the places where I was rejected and I'm getting great feedback and a lot of encouragements to reapply. Now I really have to decide if I should go to WUSTL or wait and reapply next year...

Columbia rejection too.

Yup. Just got my Harvard rejection. Not exactly crushed though. I was expecting it.

Really? I didn't get anything.

Oh boy...saw a Harvard rejection on the results board. I'll be expecting a nice little rejection letter waiting for me in the mailbox today. holding on tight to my one acceptance...

I'm not in soc but I just saw this thread on the main forum page. What year did you graduate? I did my UG there too....class of 2011.

I'm doing the same for WashU!

Oh Sandy I'm so sorry you're upset. I've felt pretty down a few times this season myself. Please don't give up hope. I know NYU for one is still very much in the game right now and I don't think I've heard anything about Clark.

I know how you feel. I get the same feeling whenever I see an acceptance from a school that I applied to.

I know. I am too. I had already kind of accepted my rejections until my adviser said that she was "truly startled" by what happened. That made me realize that maybe I am qualified enough to apply to these schools and that maybe it isn't just a natural thing that I'd be rejected.

Rejected by Yale but honestly I don't mind. I was ready for it.

Make a profile here and it will tell you if you've been googled.

Yup! I'm not even thinking about Yale anymore.

I didn't mean do anything official yet. Just stop worrying and start thinking about the fact that I have a grad school to go to--and learn as much as possible about it--rather than obssess over the ones I haven't heard from.

I think for my own sanity I ought to just presume I'm going to WashU and start making plans for that (not that anything is wrong with WashU of course!). Tired of worrying about other schools.

So it begins again. Congrats to the Rutgers admit!

Another UNC admit...I wonder if it was an official email or one from a POI....

Not sure if I can deal with that right now...

Yes I understand the value of connections and already know that Ive made a great one at Duke (which rejected me) but she also explicitly talked about the possibility of me coming there and working with me.
