Lighthouse Lana Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Lol anyone else have a list of potential decision dates on their fridge? Like even though I can just look at the results page to find info about previous years, I've taken it upon myself to set up a March Madness-esque list of dates, # of admitted students, and % of devastation I'll feel if I don't get in. In other words, I'm doing GREAT. ...I'm looking at you UC San Diego, Tufts, and U Rochester... ghost-enthusiast, lilgreenblatt, Kapol-in and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Small Raven Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 13 hours ago, Not_a_Robot22 said: Has anyone else not gotten any PhD acceptances yet? I'm finishing my MA this semester and this is my first cycle applying to PhDs. I've gotten 3 rejections (Berkeley, Northwestern, and Cornell), no interviews or waitlists, and 7 more programs left to hear from. I'm not holding my breath ? No acceptances for me yet - two rejections and one waitlist, though I don't hold much hope for the latter. This is my first cycle as well, but I've been out of academia for about three years since graduating from my MA, and forgot how severely anxiety-inducing the admissions process is. I'm waiting on three more programs (which happen to be my top three #stress). I wish I had applied to more programs, and if I get a full shutout this year, I'll probably apply to almost twice as many next year. I hope you get good news soon!

mashatheicebear Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 @AyoEmmy @Bopie5 @clara salmon Congrats to you all! (And sorry if I missed any other Davis admittees.) I also got into Davis and *think* I will be attending. Still waiting on a handful of programs but Davis was my only interview out of my six applications, so I am not holding my breath on the others. Which program did you all get into? (I'm Comp Lit.) AyoEmmy, Bopie5 and clara salmon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertsona_grad Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 should have heeded the ol' "expect the worst" adage in all facets of this process but man the fact that I'm still waiting got me like *hannibal burress [laughs, "this sucks man"]* all over the place. hopefully soon...

Magic Lantern Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Hi friends! Question about the Comp Lit program at University of Toronto: Do they require hard copies of official transcripts? I only uploaded an electronic version of my official transcript through their online portal, and didn't mail anything to them. Just logged into the portal and saw that they did not receive my official transcript. Now I'm panicking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Write to the grad coordinator or whoever’s in charge, and ask if unofficial copies suffice at this point. Magic Lantern 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaoistTowelette Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 If you haven't applied to McGill you should do so in the future: you get an email telling you to check your portal, and then you have to click not a "View Decision Letter" key like at a normal school, oh no, you have to click on a key that says "Read Refusal Letter." Kinda got everything I needed from the headline! Oh well, my French is terrible and I hate puppetry.

Kapol-in Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 So I saw a single acceptance for a program I applied to on Facebook, now for the same program I'm only seeing waitlists on the result page, is this a good sign or a bad sign...

Magic Lantern Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 6 minutes ago, NervousYolk said: I think all of the graduate programs at UofT require hard copies in addition to electronic transcripts. Most departments are being flexible this year, I believe, and accepting official copies sent to them from the issuing institution electronically. While you wait to hear from the department, I recommend submitting the requests for your schools to send the electronic official transcripts. When I submitted mine, it took a few days for them to add them to my application after they were delivered! That's very good to know! Thank you so much for your advice! I just heard back from the program coordinator who said that an unofficial e-transcript would suffice for now, and an official one sent from the institution would be required if they decide to admit me. Glad that they are being so flexible this year! NervousYolk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gloryous Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Hey guys, I have been keeping up with this thread for the past few days. It seems like you all have been in this together for a long time and are super supportive. I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I was wondering if any people here with their master's degree could help me out? I don't have any friends in the same field of me and no one else in my family has gotten their master's. I was just acceptedi into a program, but kind of feel lost. I have no idea how grad school actually works. Haha, I don't know if I sound dumb or not, but I would genuinely appreciate any advice/guidance anyone could give! lilgreenblatt, kirbs005, cassidyaxx and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went back for my MA after being out of school for 5 years, so my perspective might be a bit different from what you'd like, but I can offer any insight from my (rather specific) perspective, how I managed, etc. gloryous 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnxiousBean Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Welp got my rejection from Yale. Not surprised- felt like it was a long shot and not the best fit. Would've been great for family reasons. Thought I would be more upset but I'm really not. I think knowing about only three slots helped with that. Trying to manifest an acceptance this admit season!
