perpetualalligator Posted February 15, 2019 Author Share Posted February 15, 2019 @Umairrasheed Based on past years' results it seems that acceptances and waitlists come out at the same time (around now) and rejections come out later in March. As to why departments don't send out rejections at the same time as acceptances, my theory is that they're just a bunch of assholes who enjoy watching applicants suffer, especially since most rejection letters are quite generic. But that's just my very anxious and salty self saying that ? Has anyone heard anything about CU Boulder/Can the mysterious creature who got the acceptance on feb 9th share what's the deal? Also does anyone remove one's name from a waitlist without sounding douchey? Umairrasheed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey I think it would be okay to contact your POI at this moment. According to the results page, it seemed like a generic email though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anama Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 There is an acceptance from NYU on the results page. Contact via POI. I never know what to do with these informal acceptances, could be an individual case and at the same time I have the impression that all admits are contacted personally.

I think it depends on the school but for NYU it does seem that POIs do personally contact those who have been accepted ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyramidstuds Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I’m the one who just posted the Cornell rejection. “Decline.PDF” lol (at least there was no “holding my breath” moment with that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know. I feel you. I went through this literally today with UPenn. I followed the advice someone else gave me here though and emailed my POI. Looks like the situation was each professor was individually notifying students of acceptance, and mine just hadn't gotten the chance to write the email yet. So I'd say yeah email and just ask if they have any idea when notifications will be made. Or if you'd rather, you can call the program's office. They might give you info and not ask for your name.

Xiiiiin Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Hi everybody, does anyone hear back from NYU, Yale, CUNY, and GWU? I got no interviews, waitlist emails, or rejections in my portal. I am so freaked out these days... adamanthro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmauelJ Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 (edited) Does anyone know what is happening at Yale? No offer, no rejection, no interview, no words... I can only find one "interview" applicant in the result page, which is really weird. It seems that interview invitations were sent out around late January last year. Get rejected by 4, 2 other rejections are coming, only 3 left (Yale, Cornell and NYU). Although I have 3 master offers, which is better than nothing, still hoping to get a Phd offer...

AgnesNutterWitch Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Does anyone know for sure whether sociocultural anthropology applicants for UPenn have been notified about interviews already or not? I see a lot of notifications for other subfields but none for sociocultural which is making me have irrational hopes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a few acceptances in the Results section, but that's all, no word on rejections/wait-list. I haven't heard from the dept yet. I'm assuming its a rejection but then why won't they just let us know already, given they've sent out a few offers. I'm in the same boat, and wish they'd just inform the rejections.

So I guess no interview = no acceptance? Yeah, I'm not sure if it's a go/no go for BU. I was contacted for an interview last week and was notified Friday unofficially. My POI told me that I should be getting an official letter in the mail from the Dean late this week. I'm still in shock I got in. Apparently, one of the professors at BU contacted one of my references directly (a prof. at Pitt) sometime last week. This is my first time applying and I applied to UChicago, Pitt, Northwestern, GWU, Harvard, NYU, Notre Dame, Boston, and Duke. ND informed me right away that they had no interest in me lol. But I haven't heard anything from anybody else except for BU, which is fine since BU seems to fit me like a glove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
