jriveracal Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I got an email for a Yale interview. Wasn't given much info at all besides that the admit committee "produced a long short list and you're on it." and "yes, it will be an interview but a very informal one." Not sure if the names on the list were divided up amongst professors to call, but that would explain why they are going out in waves. I think this would be plausible since the prof that emailed me has interests aligning with my own (even though he isn't someone I mentioned in SoP.

jriveracal Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Also, can we just talk about UCLA's BS system for checking rejections? They create like 500 screens of anticipation and then finally the last screen says "THIS NEXT LETTER IS VERY IMPORTANT. MAKE SURE YOU PRINT IT AND KEEP IT IN A SAFE PLACE." then BOOM rejection letter. markhame and Sercan_ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I can walk out the door if I choose and no one even knows I applied to grad school. But this week is so trying. My boss is micro managing my time very aggressively (I’ve pushed back on an impossible deadline 4 times now and she still insists). If this were happening earlier in my time at this job (my first job) it would really tank my mental health. Now it’s simplt... difficult Oof, that sounds stressful. At least there's a light at the end of the tunnel! Sercan_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBunny Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I saw some UMass Amherst rejections but I am not able to get into the portal. It shows nothing because the portal does not work. I am not sure what to make out of this markhame 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuBois Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Do they send their decisions on Sundays? I was hoping if not I might just go off the grid and feel human again. It seems as if all the decisions are delayed this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bandanajack Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 To all the UMass Amherst rejections: sorry. I am in the same boat. An annoyingly wild ride from last night until now. Not entirely surprised by the rejection, but surprised it came in this manner so early in the month. TheBunny, socquant and Birdie13 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sociopolitic Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 The Michigan rejection on the board seems to have been a one-off thing... maybe it was a troll? That's less than cool, but a week ago it looked like the Political Science results were being trolled pretty hard so I guess I wouldn't put it past someone polsgonesoc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it’s like a different university in Michigan?.. or just a troll like you said. Or an anxious person jumping to conclusions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was framed as a "conversation" rather than an interview, and it's with my primary professor of interest (with whom I spoke in person in November). Mine is tomorrow, and I really have no idea what it's going to look like... will try to report soon after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
