second-time Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Ohio State folks: I recieved an email from the DGS with funding info informally because I asked about it as a result of other offers, but they said the official offers wouldn't come until later this week, maybe Thur/Fri qweraaa and at1109494 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sswimky Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 If we haven't heard anything from Duke, UCLA, NYU, or Columbia, should we just assume rejection? Why do schools stagger their acceptances and rejections like that, like what could they gain from that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the last circle, I was waitlisted to UMD in late Feb., so did Indiana. I guess further results are coming soon based on what I experienced last year. Fingers crossed to all!

I don't know about the others but Bloomington has historically sent out acceptance emails around 17-18th of February. Could happen this week.

Agreed, it has been very quiet - haven’t received a message yet from any faculty or grad student, but I also haven’t reached out (I can’t decide whether I should initiate contact or just be patient!!)

I would say if you haven't heard back from schools that have sent both acceptances and rejections, I would bet that you're waitlisted (though I'm sure that isn't always the case, just a bet). Just hang in there. You absolutely shouldn't lose hope yet. 4 rejections out of 15 applications isn't the end of the world at all! As others have said - you only need one.

kmccorm2 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Question for those of you who have made it into your dream schools. First of all, congratulations! It's so great to know that there are colleagues are getting in places, and that we can (hopefully) do that too! So a lot of you have said that you worked really hard on refining your statement of purpose. Did you work with professors in the field to do that, or have some sort of service review it? I feel as though it's difficult (at least for me) to refine my SoP, since most of the people that I have looking at it aren't scholars or in the field specifically. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! As we're waiting to hear back from a lot of schools over the next few weeks, feeling like I'm at least doing SOMETHING to make my application package more competitive will (hopefully) help my mental wellbeing lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is also the case for me. I felt fairly confident in my SoP when submitting but I now realize how many services/resources are out there to assist ? Not sure how I will fare as I am still waiting on my schools but I have a feeling that I may be taking part in the next cycle, too... kmccorm2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the professors also reached out to me, and I am talking to him him tomorrow. I think you need to give them permission to contact you so that they can reach out. (In the first unofficial email it asks if you agree to give permission) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
