sadsac Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Congrats, sadsac! Would you happen to have any details on number of admits, expected date to hear back, etc.? Hi cquin, thanks! I don't know anything about admissions numbers or dates but I was invited to an open house in March. I asked if this was going to be an interview process and was told no -- so I gather they aren't doing interviews this year, only offering admissions. best of luck!

HappyCat Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) Hi, that was me -- just got a phone call from the department chair. I was rejected from Brown today so this was nice compensation! Best of luck to all of you!! Congratulations on your acceptance! Did they ask you to mail an official copy of your transcript prior to your acceptance? I thought they ask "finalists" to do so.

jprufrock Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) I was also accepted, and was the one to post the stats/info on the results board. Method was phone call. 15/500+ accepted; $23,622/yr for 5 years with no teaching duties; $1,000 one-time stipend for help relocating and setup; ~$5,000/yr(or semester?) for optional teaching (two 1-hour sections a semester, I think?) starting in year 3. Also, visit weekend is close, on March 3rd/4th. E-mails and official letters to come Edited February 18, 2011 by jprufrock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lenz Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I'm waitlisted and invited to Open House next weekend. No word on how many waitlisted but the email said it was "short". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

readingredhead Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Ugh, NYU is the last program I'm waiting to hear back from -- 1 rejection and 4 (!) waitlists at present, so it would be nice to finish it off with an acceptance, but this makes it sound unlikely...although it seems strange that they haven't said anything at all.

They sent out acceptances and waitlists, and considering the open house is next week, I'm pretty sure it's implicit rejections at this point.

readingredhead Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Now I'm just confused -- I just got off the phone with a lady at the NYU English department who said that no notifications about PhD applications had been sent out yet, and that I should hear back sometime next week? Even though of course people have heard back and been invited to the visiting day? Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
