Sunshine04 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I’ve been anxiously looking for a thread with updates such as acceptance, declined, or received an interview from criminology and criminal justice programs. I applied to UC Irvine, University of South Carolina, University of Central Florida, and Howard. So far I’ve gotten an interview with the University of Central Florida.

SharayahShay Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I'm also pursuing a CJ PhD for fall of '21--so far only heard back from one program out of the 5 I've applied to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied to John Jay, Indiana University-Bloomington, University of Illinois-Chicago, University of Missouri-St. Louis, and University of Cincinnati. I was accepted to Indiana's program last week but haven't heard anything from the other programs as of yet. Sunshine04 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerdyjilly Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I applied to John Jay's PhD and haven't heard anything yet either. Any idea of how many applicants there were this cycle? Sunshine04 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharayahShay Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Not a clue. I'm assuming that the combination of folks going back to school due to covid and JJ having waived the GRE means that the pool will likely be large. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christinitalabarista Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Also applied to Criminal Justice/Criminology Programs for fall '21! I applied to Northeastern, John Jay, University of South Carolina, and Florida State University. So far I've been rejected from Northeastern, accepted to The University of South Carolina, and I have an interview for John Jay. FSU is my dream school though so I really want to hear back from them!

nerdyjilly Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Congratulations on your acceptance and interview! John Jay sent out interview invites last week, and I did not get one. ?♀️ I hope you get into FSU! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine04 Posted February 15, 2021 Author Share Posted February 15, 2021 So far I’ve been rejected from the university of South Carolina. My dream school is the University of California, Irvine. I’m still waiting back to hear from them and the other schools. Congratulations on everyone’s acceptances! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerdyjilly Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 UPDATE I got a John Jay email invite this morning! Sunshine04 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christinitalabarista Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 thank you @nerdyjilly !!!! and you never know about JJ honestly,I had a feeling they were gonna send the emails out not at once since 4 different people need to coordinate interviews and it's not as straightforward as having everyone come down for a weekend. Good luck and I'm so happy they reached out to you!!! and good luck @Sunshine04! I really hope UCIrvine gets back to you with good news :)) Sunshine04 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine04 Posted February 26, 2021 Author Share Posted February 26, 2021 Has anyone run into the dilemma of getting accepted into schools and still waiting to hear back from others but getting anxious that you might not hear back from other schools in enough time to make an adequate decision? 2021orbust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caribprincess Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 @Sunshine04You are definitely not alone. I got into UMD but have been waitlisted at 2 places and I am hoping I don't get admitted at the last minute. Sunshine04 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caribprincess Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I believe April 15th is the universal graduate school decision deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check with the schools on deadlines even the ones you are waiting to hear back from. Also if you commit to one and a better oppurtunity arises you can withdraw, no school will fault you. Sinceyou will be spending the next 5+ years there go where you are happiest. It is ok to change your mind. Obviously since you have time to wait, wait, but again withdrawing after saying you are going is ok. Sunshine04 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine04 Posted March 1, 2021 Author Share Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) I just heard back from South Florida- I did not get in but that’s okay because I know why. I’m still waiting to hear back from UCI and Howard. Given that official decisions are supposed to come at the end of March-early April for Irvine I’m not hopeful because I would assume interviews have already occurred. How is everyone else’s journey coming along ? Edited March 1, 2021 by Sunshine04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssx1 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Update: Waitlisted for Sam Houston but I'm definitely alright with that since it was my last choice school. Hope everyone hears back from all their schools soon and gets in to their dream school!!!! Sunshine04 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerdyjilly Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 CONGRATULATIONS to all who were accepted! I only applied to John Jay and finished my interviews last week. So I'm waiting on their answer. Sunshine04 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
