NovaSpire Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Didn't see the thread started for this year's cycle. Just received my first acceptance from Michigan State so hopefully others are hearing good news soon as well! Feel free to put your list of schools, research interests, or whatever else you feel comfortable sharing! My other schools I am waiting to hear from are American and UMass Lowell and I am focusing on terrorism and political violence within criminology. Best of luck to everyone!

VisionFan Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Hello there! I have not heard back from any programs as of yet, but I am anxiously awaiting responses to roll in. I applied to 7 programs, but one of my recommenders was very slow submitting her letters, so I am hoping that does not effect my likelihood of getting accepted to any of the programs. Congratulations on already getting an acceptance! Have you heard back from any others yet? What are your research interests? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations on already getting an acceptance! Have you heard back from any others yet? What are your research interests? I haven’t heard from the others yet. Judging from past years I expect to hear from American and Lowell at the end of February. As for your letter writer I don’t think it will impact decisions. One of my letter writers was also a tad slow and the program (Lowell) had a few extra days of leeway past the initial deadline. Right now I’m interested in the economic consequences and civilian responses to terrorism and mass shootings. There’s a lot of research in terrorism about its effects on the economy but very little for mass shootings. Then it’s always interesting to see how effective crimes like terrorism are in affecting the wider populace. What programs did you apply to?

Did anyone applied also and/or have any news? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xStardust Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I applied for a PhD, had a zoom interview early January and going to an in-person second round interview this weekend, so I'd say they have probably already reached out to everyone they have short-listed for acceptances, unless they accept some people without interviews, which I think they don't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky_ Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 (edited) @xStardust Hey there, I also applied to Penn, Maryland, and Irvine and I am wondering if you heard back from any of them? I haven’t received any communications. Thanks! Edited February 8 by Sky_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xStardust Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 @Sky_ Hi! I interviewed with Penn late January, and am interviewing with Irvine on Friday. Maryland doesn’t do interviews, and I haven’t heard anything from them either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if Penn and Irvine do formal interviews with everyone on the shortlist or was this an informal chat? I guess I am trying to gauge how competitive of an applicant I am in this cycle.

Thank you! Penn was definitely an interview, and Irvine seems to be a series of interviews with different professors throughout the day. As far as I know, Penn interviews everyone they accept, but for Irvine I’m not sure. Good luck to you this cycle too, I hope you hear good news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaSpire Posted March 3 Author Share Posted March 3 Quick update post. Lowell recently sent me an informal acceptance at the beginning of March while American is still leaving me in the dark. Not sure if they are behind on their schedule or not so if anyone else has applied there and could give insight that would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VisionFan Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Update on my status: Accepted with full funding to Old Dominion University with full funding and extra funds for travel/conferences. I have received acceptances to UCF, FSU, and UALR with funding, and rejections from GMU, UPenn, and Maryland. I have not heard back from the other programs yet, but I am going to accept my position at ODU because I have spoken with current students, faculty, and I have prayerfully considered the decision. It is a great fit for my research and personal interests. I am very excited about this next chapter, and I can't wait to hear about everyone else's updates too!

Came with a fee waiver so that was nice but still disappointing all the same. Congratulations on your acceptance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
