neko98 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 If it’s been a month since the interview, would it be acceptable to email the grad department and ask about the decisions timeline? Current grad students told us interviewees to expect about a month’s wait between the interview and decisions being released but the anxiety is killing me lol gahhhh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amangg23 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Is it only me that feels that this season majority of the decisions should have been coming out by now. Every program mentioned mid-february results, but hardly anything. I am in a full-on stress mode with two rejections and no interviews. Nothing. Nada. not even a modicum of hope for acceptance.

Anama Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I'm still waiting for programs which have not notified at all. It really is late but it seems to be the case that the programs I applied for lag behind this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd do it if I were you. The only reason I'm not is because I was told end of Feb and there's technically 2 days left.

ticktick Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 When I applied, I prepared myself to not hear until March. I have heard back from two programs earlier than expected, and it has made me more anxious to hear from the rest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenqueen Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I finally caved and made an account after lurking for forever because it does seem like decisions are coming out later than expected for all of the programs I've applied for. (And man, is it ever nerve-wracking.) At this point I know several people who have heard back from programs with both acceptances and rejections. One of my undergrad P.I.'s told me to hang tight, and that admissions tend to trickle out over the course of a month or so from the first "round" of decision notifications. Haven't heard back yet? It's not a rejection, so that's something to be optimistic about - right? gahhhh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brighteyes Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I had a great Skype conversation with the POI at my top choice, and then had a great Skype convo with her grad student. This was back in November. I've heard nothing since. It's making me so anxious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenturtle Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Saw the first acceptance this cycle at one of my programs posted on GradCafe today. I still haven't heard a peep. At this point, I don't really care about the decision as much as I just want an answer. I want to know where I'll be going in the fall! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoddessofMoons Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) I am super ANXIOUS. I applied to one grad school in Canada and I was told acceptance letters would start being sent out early March, yet I can’t stop checking my application status in hopes I will see an admitted status update????? I am also nervous because I am trying to move to Canada for a better quality of life and this is my best shot of getting my foot in the door. I am from the USA.

Inquisition historian Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I got one acceptance from the grad program at school A (my safety school) in early February, but haven’t heard from my department yet. School B, my first choice, I have spoken with my potential committee several times over the month and everything seems like it’s going well and the last I heard last week they were moving ahead with my application for final approval from the grad committee so I’ve basically been having a panic attack since last Sunday until I know for sure. Everyone on my committee is perfect. The school is perfect. I want this approval. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only applied to one school and they said they were "hoping to have most, if not all, decisions out by mid February". Share your anxieties! I did the one-school thing 2 years ago. When you consider the number of applications each of the good schools receives every year, that approach really doesn't make much sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyccat Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I'm still waiting on NYU English PhD - but it seems that since they've already sent out acceptances - according to the results page - that I must be rejected. Or could I possibly be wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epi_hopeful19 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Just to vent: Haven't heard a peep from my top choice school, but I know they've been sending out acceptances. It feels like it's getting a bit late to expect a positive response so every day I lost a bit more hope. Being waitlisted today from a different school I really liked doesn't help my anxiety!

Or could I possibly be wrong? There’s a chance you’ve been waitlisted, if first round offers went out and you haven’t heard anything. Sometimes silence means they don’t want to reject you so you can be an alternate if some people turn down offers. You never know! Good luck!
