balderdash Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Any inside news on Columbia? I feel like I've been waiting forever for my rejection! Check the board. Last year the rejections were all 13-14-15 March, and there's no reason to believe this year would be any different. Plus the admits and waitlists went out in February, as per usual for the last few years. If you haven't heard by now (which I haven't either, by the way), assume rejection with 99.9% certainty.

TheCreuset Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) I saw there was a wave of NYU rejections. Anyone still waiting for one of those? Edited March 8, 2011 by TheCreuset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lasthope Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 LSU. I called last week and was told that an email was coming out in a couple days....its been a couple days. what field are you studying? Anyone waiting on LSU and GSU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polarbear0627 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I'm still waiting. It started to get annoying. The rejection letter came in yesterday was for those who did not want to apply for the MA program in the Department. Maybe that explains why you are still waiting?

athenianstranger Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Also waiting on LSU for theory. According to the results board, acceptances came out around this time last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mormegil Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 LSU. I called last week and was told that an email was coming out in a couple days....its been a couple days. what field are you studying? Comparative. Do you have any idea how many folks apply to the program? Seems to me it's an under-the-radar program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me it's an under-the-radar program. nice thats my field as well. no clue how many apply. it is surprisingly ranked higher than i thought. I prefer to live in the south so its a solid choice in my view but its reputation is unknown to me. hopefully that works out in our favor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSU have a few faculty members with whom i'm interested to work with even though they don't strictly work on my geographical region of interest. They're more into some interesting cross-national stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretly_yes Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 For the new USC waitlist.. who did you call? I called the number listed on the website. I spoke to a person that said that 15 people were admitted and that I was on the wait list and should receive something in the mail soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtncffts Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 So noone yet has claimed any of the Toronto acceptances? I'm really anxious to hear because it'll be the de facto end, and will allow me to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zahar Berkut Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Late update, but I got into Chicago's CIR (I applied directly), full funding. Very happy, but some tough decisions now. Assuming I get offered FLAS for the regional studies program I got into elsewhere, I'll need to weigh living expenses in Chicago versus their having a program more tailored to my potential academic interests. Then there's less time to continue improving language skills/potentially better career prospects with the regional studies MA if I for some reason choose not to go on to the PhD. Still, a good position to be in. Best of luck as everyone reaches their decision points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWBG Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 So noone yet has claimed any of the Toronto acceptances? I'm really anxious to hear because it'll be the de facto end, and will allow me to move on. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I know for a fact that Toronto sent out Ph.D offers on Monday of this week. MA offers will go out early next week.

bees Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 For the new USC waitlist.. who did you call? Call Veri, the graduate assistant. If you have yet to hear, you are probably on the waitlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWBG Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Makes sense. Btw, does NYU ever fund their MAs? Generally, no. They may match funding from an external source, but nothing beyond that. CAS166 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
