SlumberingTrout Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 RE: The MA program at SLU: I was told that "we don't generally admit applicants to the MA program alone, apart from Jesuit Scholastics."
hello_me Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 I did came a long way to where I am now. There were moments which I will cherish. There are other moments which I will definitely detest. Anyhow life does not end here. I have tonnes of stories to tell starting from my 1st grade till my Masters. There were wonderful people I met, there were pure ludicrous idiots whom I also met. At the end of the day, if anybody reads this, just remember do not undermine the value of gut reactions. Also if everything becomes overwhelming, take a break. Good luck.
Eudaimon Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 I just noticed that someone posted a McGill rejection. Has anyone else received one? If so, any details (e.g. time, content of email, etc.)?
prtrbd Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 Just got a kind of non-decision from Virginia. I guess it was a waitlist, although it didn't include any words like "wait" or "list".

That you hadn't been rejected or something along those lines? Edited March 1, 2018 by SlumberingTrout

I do think they're an underrated program but I doubt I would pick them over Notre Dame unless my visit there goes poorly or something.

Something along the lines of "we are not able to make a decision on your admission status at this time", which is basically a fancy way of saying you're waitlisted but don't ask us any more questions about it

I remember I finally received the rejection from the YLS waitlist while I was already sitting in a dorm room at HLS. It was September.

Yeah, as arduous as the PhD application process is, the April 15 deadline is a blessing. And you get to know what your funding will be like before accepting an offer, which is pretty nice too prtrbd 1

Prose Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 When does Boston University come out with their decisions?
soproperlybasic Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 Official rejections from Princeton seem to be out, just got mine!

However, many schools were roughly a week late this year compared to normal, so we may have to wait until next week.

I've been so impatient to hear back from Chapel Hill, they usually release much earlier, but haven't sent out anything yet...

eigenname Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 3 minutes ago, Plslol said: Do schools typically send them all out at the same time?

(The former was the case for UCSD, the latter for UC Irvine)

Just that one guy who reported an acceptance, and that guy on FB who got wait-listed. I guess the others don't hang out around here. :'( Plslol 1

Strange how weve only seen 1 acceptance and 1 waitlist. Maybe im grasping at straw tho lol And yes, congrats to everyone! also, as maybe another straw, i emailed lydia goehr months ago about somethin and she replied at 3am, nyc time. Take that for whatever it may be Edited March 1, 2018 by Plslol
