Franker89 Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 @stressedandconfused Congrats! Were you notified today via email about the waitlist? Does it seem like they've notified other people about acceptances and waitlists? stressedandconfused 1

From what I can tell, they sent out an acceptance yesterday via email, and I got an email from the graduate director for the waitlist decision!

FriendlyNeighborhoodWolf Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 Y'all think we'll hear anything new before the weekend?
halcyonday Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 I was kind of hoping to hear from UT today, and (unrealistically) Michigan....
okcool96 Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 I think UMN have already made their decisions and are just waiting to send rejections - not entirely sure though.

Yeah. That’s what I was thinking based on the previous years. Who knows. My POI at UMN shared that admission is really competitive this year especially. Edited February 2, 2019 by stressedandconfused

I just logged into my UMN portal and it says my admission is "decided" but their decision isn't posted yet. We'll probably hear back really soon. okcool96 1

Nope! Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 @okcool96 @stressedandconfused I was able to log into my application portal, hit the "continue" button to the left of "Application for Admission," and saw there was an update posted to my account, which was a very short rejection letter. Best of luck to y'all!

okcool96 Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 2 minutes ago, stressedandconfused said: rejected as well! Rejected! I must say, I'm really disappointed in how UMN handled this. From what I gather, they have known certain rejections for weeks. I know of two people who were interviewed and then rejected not long after. I don't understand how hard it is to keep applicants in the loop - especially when we pay a fee for the luxury of applying in the first place. Don't think I'll be applying here next year - I can understand the rejection itself and, although I'm disappointed, I'm not mad at them for that. I just feel the handling of the process was disrespectful ??♂️

CeeJay46 Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 (edited) UT Austin has the meanest way of handling this entire process, Minnesota is almost as bad. Both basically contact their picks early and then let everyone else hanging for a while (UT Austin took until April 15 last year even though it was already clear that those applicants were rejected)... Just for that hole way of handling things I do no longer care about these two programs. Appearently someone got into Kansas last week, but it seems that is not a school of interest for anyone else in this thread so far... Don't want to be the angel of death but if you have not heard from them by now, it is rather likely you won't get good news.... Edited February 5, 2019 by CeeJay46
yikesyikesyikes Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 kind of heartbroken about minnesota, + it's not looking good for me for other programs either. currently waiting on gwu. did anyone else apply/has anyone heard anything?
rx971 Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Just saw two posts about interviews for NYU AMST in the results -- is that anyone here? Also, does anyone have any insight as to whether interviews are standard for their process/conducted for certain applicants last year?
halcyonday Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Has anyone at all heard from Texas though? If I saw some acceptances already I'd be sure I was out, but there doesn't seem to be word in either direction.... I got my first acceptance today (UIUC Institute of Communications Research!!) so I'm a lot less panicked, but still anxiously awaiting everywhere else... stressedandconfused and jusrain 2

Maybe the competition was more intense this time around. I don’t know that they would only interview some people and not others...?

Agree with @halcyonday, has anyone heard yet? It seems so unlikely that everyone in this thread (or GC in general) who applied there was rejected. At least someone would’ve gotten waitlisted, right? I do regret applying, they haven’t been very communicative.
