Roguebird Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) got waitlisted at CUNY EES - this is my third year applying, second time being waitlisted and def the earliest notification of waitlist I've ever received. Was told they received a 60% increase in applications this year, and given the COVID/budget situation, are able to admit fewer students than normal...

mgeog77 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Received the same message. also said "we often admit students off the waitlist" but I didn't think that was all that common with grad apps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antiq Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Wow, congratulations to the international student who posted about getting accepted to CUNY ESS (Human Geography). As much as I envy you, it's truly impressive you got the offer as an international with no US degree. Now that you're all relieved, would you like to share with us poor souls whether you intend to take the offer or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a good interview and yes, they've recently been in touch with follow-up questions about my application but no official decision yet. I applied to Human Geography & Urban Studies, by the way, not Economic Geography (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strongly considering CUNY, but have to hear back from other programs I applied to as well. Good luck with everyone's applications! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see an interview invite for Berkeley and Wisconsin on the results page. Has anyone else been contacted? I'm also wondering about CU Boulder (I applied to the MA program). Has anyone else received a reply, one way or another? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbl82 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Just saw that someone got admitted at UBC. I wonder if they are contacting everyone about results... (mine still "on processing") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgeog77 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 For UBC: Mine is as on processing as well. From past years it looks like acceptances go out and then rejections follow a few weeks later. Keeping my fingers crossed though... rbl82 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG1993 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Hello! I got waitlisted in the PhD Geography of Syracuse university. They received 65 applications with 4 funding slots. Are there any of you who got the same email? How many do they usually include in the waitlist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgeog77 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) Hi all, I see a lot of posts on the results page from schools I applied to but I have not received any updates on my applications from these schools (either via email or portal).

Did they give you guys a "deadline" to make your decision? Only asking because I am considering accepting another offer with an upcoming deadline but would still like to hear from the EES first (my impression was that I ranked high on the waitlist).

I have received an acceptance to CU Boulder and wanted to get an idea about the general standing of the department. Also, sorry I didn't apply to Clark!
