sobeobe Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Any word yet from UUtah on American Studies PhD applications? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byrd McDaniel Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I applied and have not received a reply. The status of my application is something like: "Out to Department." I suppose the wait continues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksgrad Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I've yet to here. I called the department two weeks ago yesterday. The admin was very short with me and indicated letters were going out that day. Clearly, that was not true, as it's been two weeks and no news. Frankly, I'm sure it's a rejection at this point, but I'm less than impressed that it's taken over three months to communicate a decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byrd McDaniel Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I know that you can check the status online. Just google "Utah graduate school tracking" and a site will pop up. You enter your SS#, birthday, and some other information. It is taking so long. I better get it this week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byrd McDaniel Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I wonder if I should call them and ask... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksgrad Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I wonder if I should call them and ask... At this point, I don't think it can hurt. Perhaps you'll get better info than I did... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byrd McDaniel Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Does Utah have an e-mail for a graduate department or anything? I can't find any sort of e-mail on the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobeobe Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 Ya, if someone finds out any information, please post it. I know that we all could use some info in this least transparent of processes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byrd McDaniel Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I just called the lady. She said: "Acceptances went out at the beginning of the month, and wait lists and rejections went out this past Friday. So, if we haven't received a letter, then I assume we're awaiting a rejection or wait list. Best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobeobe Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 Well, you know, not the most ideal situation, but I at least feel more confident having SOME idea. Having no clue can be painstakingly torturous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byrd McDaniel Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Agreed. I am glad to have some sense of a timeline. They really dragged their feet on getting back to students. I bet those applications sat on a desk for about 2 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksgrad Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Has anyone heard anything? Nope. I keep thinking that it will be in the mailbox today. Though, I've though that for the last few weeks. Really wishing I hadn't wasted my money on Utah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobeobe Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 It's getting quite late for notifications, particularly for Phd programs and considering when the applications were submitted. I'm indifferent about the time period during which we hear final decisions, but I wouldn't mind hearing something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byrd McDaniel Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I just received a notification in the (snail) mail that I was accepted for an MA in American Studies. I applied to the BA to PhD track, but they only offered me the MA. I hope this helps all of those out there. I think this should mean that people will receive a response very soon.
