Veilside1 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 ????? What should one make of this situation: A school sent out rejections 3 weeks ago. Nobody has knowledge of any acceptances going out. I called the school and the graduate cooridinater told me that "no rejections, acceptances, or anything has gone out yet." I've called the school for the last three Fridays and have been told this same thing. Also, the very woman that told me that no word has gone out is the same individual who sent out the rejection emails three weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veilside1 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 ^^ just to note: I called from a blocked ID, and did not give my name so as to not sabotage myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superfluousflo Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Robinson College. Sadly, it's one of the newest and most modern of the colleges. It's pretty enough, but I'm partial to the old Gothic look. They say college affiliation doesn't matter much for graduate study though. I was accepted at Robinson College too!

uhohlemonster Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 So I came out of today with one acceptance - to my alma matter's graduate program. It's a great back up option if there is funding, which I won't know for a while, but I also have about a years worth of credits there so I can finish the degree in about a year/year and a half. Wouldn't mind but still aiming for a phd program. Sigh. Good weekend, everyone. Ganymede18 and wikichic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uhohlemonster Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 It is something, thanks crazedandinfused! and I love The New School very much. GREAT professors, very supportive department, and you can't beat the location. I don't know if anyone in this forum applied there, but feel free to PM me. I know every history professor pretty much, and most of them I know very well - would be glad to tell you about the program and the university.

crazedandinfused Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) you can't beat the location I'm fuming with jealousy. Please NYU, please, pretty please with a fucking cherry on top. In fact, I might officially hate you with your updates about taking the F train. Of course, i'm joking. You're one of my favorite chaverim. I just really love NY Edited February 25, 2012 by crazedandinfused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uhohlemonster Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Ahhhh chaverim, now I know a new fact about you, crazed! F train? Did I ever say F train specifically? Hah! I take Hebrew at NYU now (just as an auditor) and I actually need the B train for that... I'm also hoping for a cherry from NYU! but for a dual program, so its going to take a while.

crazedandinfused Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) Yeah, just enough Hebrew to put it on my resume and get myself in trouble with bands of roving/raving Zionists.........

alleykat Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) Hi everyone, long time lurker and first time poster here. Congratulations to all of you who have received good news! I have learnt a lot by following your discussions. I have been thinking that if I reapply next cycle I would do much better thanks to all the information and advice posted here. This is the most friendly and inspirational forum that i have joined. Today, I just got accepted to the PhD program at Temple University. My interest is Southeast Asian history, focusing on China and Vietnam. After being rejected by Northwestern, this is fantastic news for me. This is one of my top choices. I am still waiting for their decision on funding though. Could any of you share any information about the funding situation at Temple? I can only find general info on their website so any insight is highly appreciated. Thanks a lot. Edited February 25, 2012 by alleykat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopin'-n-Prayin' Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Looks like UCLA decisions are available, I just saw my rejection. Non-Ivy shutout Amazing! Your acceptance/rejection list is a statistical marvel... 5-0 Ivys and 0-3 non-Ivy top tier programs... truly fascinating dichotomy (regardless of how plausible/rational it may seem to ivory tower insiders...)

oseirus Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Looks like UCLA decisions are available, I just saw my rejection. Non-Ivy shutout I believe this speaks to what my hero/man crush StrangeLight (I don't care if she is a girl) said a long time ago: it is a crazy process. I'm surprised Northwestern wasn't beating a path to your doorway because for YEARS they were THE school of choice for African history. Had Ivor Wilks not retired a few years back I would have camped out at the admissions office till they offered me a slot. Well at least you're going to your dream school though right?
