Guest Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 (edited) Just got out of my Yale interview. That was stressful. The most formal one I've done by far. Hope everyone else has mentally recovered from the experience. I hope you can't tell how sweaty I am through a camera.

But during the Application period; didn't the Department send you a link or an email for setting up an applicant account? Maybe; I could have missed it. Gonna set it up and see what happens.

qampus Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I thought academia presumed "smart individuals"... Okay, at least "polite individuals"... But this is terrible. I emailed some of the programs - no response. I called - they told me to SEND THEM AN EMAIL [some of my puke reaches the bottom of my throat when I hear "send us an email"...] I send THEM an email - no response. Okay, I get it: I have to wait. Deal. Great. Awesome. Delicious! But! I have paid the ffffqn fee (and I know I sound like a Karen now) - but why can you not just answer with a "very soon" or "on the 5th of March"? Why does this all have to be such a badly managed process? "A university" means "educated individuals," doesn't it? Now, what's wrong with all this waiting and ignoring people's emails?

securityscholar Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Columbia releases the rest of the results a week after they announce acceptances. I hope they will release the results today or tomorrow, so that we will finally learn whether if we got a wait list or rejection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wubble Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 (edited) Anyone claiming the zoom call acceptance from Harvard? I didn't know that they would be reaching out to applicants via zoom lol (It's under Government so not in the main Political Science results) Edited February 22, 2023 by wubble wording securityscholar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realbadgal Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Why can't the rest of the schools release their results sooner this week? What's taking them so long...

I got a mail from the graduate school directing me to the application page. Your case might be a waitlist since some schools did not announce their waitlist candidates until later.

As an applicant from Turkey like you, what I learned from this application cycle is that unfortunately compared to the applicants from the US or some countries; we do not have the same level of chance for getting admission from the PhD programs in the US; regardless of our grades, well-prepared SOP documents etc. Crossed_fingers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
