I did a two year terminal MA and have 2 acceptances/3 rejections for this season. Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gvg Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Has anyone heard from Stanford? They were my first deadline and I'm getting antsy! I would have thought some info would have gone out by now. I was accepted to my top choice, thank heavens, but Stanford was a close second and a rejection would make me 100% confident about committing to my first choice program.

Stanford generally releases quite late. I don't think we'll be hearing from them before the first week of March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know why they do this That would be very irritating, if true. Just can't see why a school needs to sit on the applications for 4 months (or even 3, if they release in early March) before making a decision. Early April will be especially inconvenient, since people would want to visit and make final decisions - all within a fortnight. syn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know why they do this Oh my goodness! That leaves so little time to weigh options before April 15!! Michigan is the program I'm planning to commit to, and they told me that they specifically set an early deadline and planned to finish their decisions early so that they could be one of the first programs to let people know. I think that this is very considerate and thoughtful, and as a strategy, I think it's working to their advantage! Stanford probably has their own strategy, but I'm definitely inclined to commit early, especially to a program that I'm in love with. coffeepls 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Harvard, UNC, Notre Dame, and Virginia. UNC usually releases acceptances early February, so it's odd that we haven't heard from them yet.

In previous years, USC should be sending responses out this week too. I contacted U of Miami and asked about App status. I was told the majority of the remaining responses should be going out this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they are really supportive, plus my POI even emailed me personally to say hi and shared a manuscript of his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MishaPanda Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Rejected from Brown. I expected a rejection from them might make me cry, but I feel calm and shall soon simply eat a whole pizza. It’s already in the oven. So far I’m at 0A/0W/2R, awaiting decisions from 4 programmes that I would, for varying reasons, be over the moon to attend. Big love y’all, stay strong.

I felt the same way upon getting rejected from Brown, though it did not occur to me to eat a whole pizza. That might be a good tool to add to my toolset as approach a week where several schools to which I applied will likely be announcing their decisions.
