Has anyone heard from these programs yet? I’ve seen Yale and Columbia on the Results Board but no claims here. I'm not sure about Yale. I think just one person said they'd been invited for an interview, but I'm not sure if that is a standard to thing to do, and what this means for everyone else. However, there was a big conversation about Columbia and we are pretty confident all the acceptances have been sent out (they only accepted 14 of 340 applicants, so it was a rough year).

So far doing a terrible job of that as I'm working from home for the first half of the day (current grad student @ NYU) - so I've been refreshing emails as usual BUT making myself go to a park later and have a full date day tomorrow to keep my mind off of things!

It's an interdisciplinary MA called Humanities and Social Engagement -- I'm focusing on human rights/sociology. My specialization is comparative history/collective trauma. What is your area?

SgtDonut Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Right now I'm broadly interested in wealth inequality and social stratification, particularly in education and the workforce. markhame and pistachiomacaron 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jriveracal Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Just now, markhame said: Wait are you serious? Dead serious. I filled out all of the application but never turned it in because it was already December 14th, right before Christmas with two kids and I really couldn't afford any more apps. Fast forward to ten minutes ago and I received an email from GSAS telling me to check my portal because "An update has been released for your application." Went into the portal and there's a link to check status...I checked status and there's a letter rejecting me from the Ph.D. but offering me acceptance into the MA. I remember clear as day that when I was filling out the Columbia app I declined the offer to be considered for the MA. Uhm, What? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SgtDonut Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Also I'm pretty sure they just process incomplete/unsubmitted applications. That happened to me with undergrad when I started the Common App for a school but then ultimately didn't want to pay the fee and never submitted the application.

Good to know I should be expecting a rejection from Harvard after removing it from my list and not filling out the whole application ??♀️ @jriveracal how awesome that you were admitted to the MA program anyway! Take that as a high compliment instead of an extra rejection... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socchi92 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Looks like Berkeley rejections are on the application portal page. Saw one on results and went to check mine, rejected, as I assumed. thetrailblazers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hardatwork Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I still haven't heard anything from Columbia. Assuming bad news there. I've only heard final decisions from 4/14 schools.

I told my partner I'd like to just be in a medically induced coma for the next three weeks so it's all over when I wake up. (Sorry, insensitivity.) Was hoping I'd feel mostly relieved after the long & painful application process but the anticipation is almost worse! Baldanmaz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
