Expand Unfortunately, I don't know of anyone in the department who has been admitted without being interviewed, so I wouldn't keep my hopes up...Current grad student here.
lnik Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 I agree with @2017... I would stay positive, but that sounds like a way of preventing people from being upset and possibly causing issues. (Especially given what I've heard about Stanford's application process from the gossip mill.)

Expand Hi, I just found the forum. Just curious if those interviewed by Penn and Stanford have been noticed or not (especially if they have been accepted or waitlisted), or these unis would send out rejection and acceptance at the same time.
Gaunter O'Dimm Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) Some good news for those waitlisted by Harvard: we're very likely to go into our waitlist this year. Don't get too hopeful though! Edited March 3, 2019 by Gaunter O'Dimm

Expand A lot of various things, but nothing really negative— I know there's a leaning toward lab phonetics and phonology (and some socio?), and they pick candidates with very specific interests and experiences based on that. Probably for the better (not my field at all, but I understand!). I've also heard that even if you get in off the wait list, it's apparently gossiped about in the department. Then, like, that the open house is way more formal than others and that they rarely blatantly reject those invited... The attendees make up the accepted and waitlisted, so the visit is basically for the shortlist. I've probably heard other things and forgotten since I never considered applying!

HopefulKid Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 I'm really low rn. I can't believe I couldn't get through any and I'm waitlisted for two. I thought I had plans if nothing worked out, but right now I can't deal with the situation and I can't envision the options as wdll. I feel like I should let it go, this PhD dream of mine. Two internships with good ass projects, At least in my country. Three presentations still now!!!! I keep falling short and I don't realise how. I feel like I've wasted all of my dad's money. I don't know what to do.

Expand To be fair (idk if it'll make you feel better), you applied to fairly well known/ranked programs, and the situation is tough for international students in the US right now... Trump's administration really has affected funding and visas. ? That being said, stay hopeful! There's still another month for the places that have waitlisted you to offer you a place. HopefulKid 1

phonotactless Posted March 8, 2019 Author Posted March 8, 2019 shoutout to Penn for finally getting around to officially rejecting me after I’ve known this for like six weeks

Now, unless I get admitted to Purdue off the waitlist, I think I will have to live a completely different life compared with the one that I have pursued so far.
Mohsb Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Just got rejected by Penn, a sigh of relief, but still waiting for Stanford and UMD. ResilientDreams 1
ResilientDreams Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Um. Hi guys. I very surprisingly got placed on a wait list for UMD. I only ever had an informal Skype and was not invited to interview. I have already committed to another (psych) program and will therefore be releasing my spot! I hope one of you guys get it!

tardias Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Didn't receive nothing from UMD as well, but since I wasn't interviewed I presume my application didn't make the cut. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
