JustPoesieAlong Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I haven't heard from anyone else waiting on their Emory rejection, but I have theorized that the two rejections on the board right now are out of the pool of those who were interviewed but didn't make it. I expect the rest of the rejections for folks who didn't interview will come through the grad school in the next week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfluffybearcat Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Is anyone else still waiting to hear from UIUC? It’s the only school standing between me and my decision right now. I’ve sent them an email two or three days ago, no reply so far. Anyone has a clue on what’s going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t interviewed and was rejected at the same time as those other ones on the results board—just too blah over all my rejections to be posting them all when others are posting as well.

Pretty standard answer that results will be out "by the end of next week, March 16th." I just wish they's hurry up. @LeeLeeCzechIrish I'm also wondering about those two waitlist postings.... I have basically already made up my mind about going to UConn, but I want the rejection letter from Fordham so I can have closure!!

themoderncondition Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Fordham is still a real contender for me. It may be the best choice, depending on funding. Not thrilled about waiting a whole ‘nother week. LeeLeeCzechIrish and Bookly521 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's totally understandable! Thanks for sharing. Now I'm even more confused about their system, though. I did message the grad coordinator about a month ago (when the acceptances/waitlists/rejections were posted), and he said they are still "finalizing their list of admits". Is it too obnoxious to email him again, I wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wabbajack Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 @Crow T. Robot @WildeThing I just got my Berkeley rejection too. Can't say I'm surprised or happy, but I'm glad to stop fantasizing and wondering! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if its the latter, I'm getting a rejection soon, hah! I emailed the program coordinator an update on a conference (got accepted as chair for a panel) and later that day the faculty chair emailed me my application status as waitlisted. I don't know if the two events are related though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustPoesieAlong Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 (edited) I called Emory to see what is up--and first off, I want to say how very nice their graduate coordinator is. This is the second or third time I've spoken with him, and he's been super friendly and helpful every time. He said that they are finalizing their stuff now and that all applicants would hear something by the end of next week at the latest. I asked him if, since I wasn't interviewed, if I could kind of assume a rejection and he suggested their process isn't quite that straightforward, but he couldn't say much more than that. I don't have my hopes up or anything, but it's interesting to know that there's more going on in the process than I had thought.

ThePandaBard Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 UCR emailed me and asked to schedule a phone call for later today. I'm hoping it's a movement off the wait list - I can't imagine they'd call to reject me or to say that my status has stayed the same.

ThePandaBard Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 UCR was just checking to make sure I wanted to be on the wait list and to hear if I had other offers. They said they'd know more in 7-10 days. Ugh. My heart is broken by that call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my interactions with talking to multiple programs this year, most seem to be accepting fewer applicants outright and a few have managed to better utilize their waitlist because they're no longer accepting twice as many people as they have spots.

Melville Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) I was invited (as were 12 other people) to a "top applicant" day at Northeastern with meals and presentations and, we found out when we got there, several interviews with faculty and heads of dept; on Fri I found out I am wait-listed. Disappointed. Being a great school in a great city I am supposing that they won't be utilizing the wait-list.
