Anyone invited to Maryland's Visit Day this weekend? I wasn't and haven't heard anything from them yet about rejection. Wasn't invited though. Just wondering if anyone would be willing to report back.

So I just got an email from the financial aid office of the school that rejected me yesterday.... They need to communicate better. Don't send me financial aid information when you don't even want me! JEEZ!

Is it bad that I'm hoping that some of those accepted will decline the offer so that I can be considered? I keep telling myself I'm on some waitlist or something and know that not all of the offers will be accepted. Rutgers isn't everyone's first choice right? :/

Another rejection (Emory)... that's 2... still waiting for 3 more programs and I know for a fact that 2 of them already started accepting. It's hard to stay encouraged right now.

Yea mine still says No decision as well...

Any other news from Rutgers? It's my number one choice and I'm just praying for news soon... One way or the other I'd like to know what to expect.

indeed... DANCE is one of my joys in life.. And somehow it's managed to come into my medical soc writing as a healing modality.

I've only officially been rejected from Princeton which I expected because they can't support my research area. Probably my fault for applying to a school just cause it's close to home. Against my better judgement, I'm assuming rejections from Emory and Univ Maryland (Women's Studies) because I know both have sent out acceptances and waitlists and I received neither. As for how I feel.... ugh... I'm trying to avoid the obvious (embarassed, worthless, stupid). Trying not to give up so easily and realize that technically I've only heard back from one program but since I haven't heard from others I'm freaking myself out. Expecting the worse. Sadly we tell ourself "no news is good news". In this world I think it's the opposite cause if they like you, you usually know sooner rather than later. I'm praying that someone wants me... I know my research is good and needed. TAKE A CHANCE ON ME!

i see that emory sent out acceptances and waitlist notifications today... feedback from anyone? I'm pretty sure that means emory is rejecting me... not sure I wanna move back down south anyway

no news doesn't mean bad news. so I'll take the silence over the rejection... means we could be sitting in a "maybe" pile their next wave of calls... that's what i'm telling myself

Ditto... I'm not bitter at all... This was my first notice from any program so it's not the best feeling but I knew that the program wasn't for me (can't really support medical soc) and they prob knew it too. So all is well...

Makes sense to me... Just makes us crazy in the meantime lol

I was under the impression that this all happens in waves. Like they'll invite the first group and that group will either accept or decline (for various reasons) then based on the number of candidates who declined the offer, the department reaches out to a 2nd wave of applicants until all their spots are filled so we may not hear anything until March if we aren't first wave.

right!!! I'm working on a zillion things to do this week to keep me away from my laptop...

I saw some acceptances on the Results survey... Even one to UMD... Anyone on here?

I check my spam 3 times a day too.. I've been getting lots of other e-mails. It's just not my time yet. Patience.... deep breaths...

Ditto.. this is all I do.. It's awful... Now it's 4pm which means it's time to run outside to the mail box. Can't leave the phone behind in case someone important calls. This is crazy. I just need to hear from ONE program to calm me a bit.

Any updates yet on acceptances or interviews... I'm nervous and praying to be in the second wave. rutgers is my top choice. i spoke to DGS a few weeks ago but that was before the application review began

Anyone get a final response from emory? congrats to everyone who interviewed!!

I already have an M.A. so I don't think that would be a good back up. Maybe an MPH since I'm medical soc. Or maybe take some science classes in case I end up wanting to become a nurse practioner or physician's assistant in the future.... maybe that's my plan B... I'd rather just not have to use my plan b and stick with the Plan A I've been working on for years... PhD by 30... ((sorry I'm a little blue and feeling sorry for myself as I wait anxiously for some word for a program))

My partner and I are already in a long distance relationship. Luckily most of the schools I applied to put us closer than we have been. Even still it's been "I just want what's best for you. Even if that means moving 900mles apart. We aren't breaking up". That makes me happy! Be encouraged everyone

Greetings! My BA is in Women's Studies and MA in Women's Health. I've applied to mostly Sociology programs but I did apply UnivMaryland for Women's Studies. Anyone else? I haven't heard back from anyone yet... waiting patiently. I think UMD was interviewing early Feb. Fingers crossed.

Rutgers Princeton Temple Emory UMaryland (Women's Studies) Medical Soc--- Women's Health

Wondering where this list is posted? I haven't heard back from Rutgers yet but would like to have an idea.
