schlesinger1 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 1 hour ago, PaulaHsiuling said: The job talks were "open" to you as a member of the university community. Information about them was circulated via email, but I doubt very much that it was ever posted on a public-facing website. Bear in mind that many who make it to the short list for a tenure-track position would be leaving another job, and across industries, it's generally unwise to advertise to one's existing employer that you're eager to move elsewhere, especially when actually receiving the offer is by no means guaranteed... Agreed. Don't share the information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No news yesterday, it's almost as if Harvard was trying to prove us all wrong by not releasing rejections on Valentine's day! Thank you! I heard back about UCSD about 20 minutes after UCI.

It will be a relief to be able to mentally move on. I said it and it became true: got my rejection from Wisconsin today. I can't lie, this one is disappointing. I was really hopeful about my fit with the department and the rapport with my POI during our phone conversations. But nothing is guaranteed, and at least it's one step closer to the final outcome for my application cycle, whatever that turns out to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sickeagle Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 In case anyone else is waiting to hear back from UC Santa Barbara, I just sent the grad coordinator an email asking about the status of decisions and received this groan-inducing reply: "The decision making process is on-going and applicants will get a decision through April. You will be notified through an email that asks you to check your status in the eApp portal." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taorluath34 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Harvard rejection. *phew* Glad to get that one finalized. Here's to Penn State coming through as I am not hopeful for UVA's waitlist or UPenn since they have done a bunch of interviews. Hope everyone had a good week and is able to have a rejuvenating weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I apologize- wasn't very clear in my post. I am not on a waitlist. Just saying that I am not hopeful with my chances to get on the waitlist. But that is also me assuming that they haven't waitlisted anyone. If they have, then I will add it to my assumed rejection tally (haha... ha... haaa.... ugh). eks933 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Historiker Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Anyone have any advice for what to ask DGS and POIs after acceptance? I already know about funding, structure of the program, and whatnot. Would it be a red flag to them if I don’t have any questions? confusatory, ssmall1 and gorgogliante 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were informed that we'd be receiving the list of admits by the end of next week, which indicates the department plans to finalize the admits by midweek next week. Prospective students will be visiting campus in mid-March. Edited February 16, 2019 by Assotto fortsibut, elx, Balleu and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask to be put in touch with current grad students in your field, because they’ll tell you how the program actually operates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortsibut Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Whelp, got the official "LOL NO" from Wisconsin, so it's down to Cornell as my last shot at a PhD program this year. Cornell is my strongest match and was my strongest application of the group, so we'll see how it plays out. I feel like it was much improved from last year as well. /crosses fingers Balleu, confusatory, Karou and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
