schlesinger1 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Anyone want to claim the rutgers interview-via-email on the results page? This was mine. Email from POI to discuss interests. Only mention of timetable was that the field committee would meet tomorrow (Wed). Hoping for good news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uhohlemonster Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I have no clue when to expect Rutgers. Would love to know who was asked to interview and for what field.. I'm Jewish/Middle East history. I talked extensively with Browns Jewish history faculty and they were excited by the idea of having a student doing Israeli history, but werent sure their new hires in middle east would be solidified... Anyway, it is what it is. Who was contacted by rutgers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazedandinfused Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I wonder if this is the trend: one or two programs a day this week and the next, and then in two weeks the floodgates finally open........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wikichic Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I too would be interested in hearing more about the Rutgers Interview! That's very exciting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyPhan896 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I was rejected by Brown as well. First Duke, then Brown, indeed. I find it interesting that not one person on gradcafe posted an acceptance from either of these schools... coincidence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CageFree Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I think Brown sent all of its rejections first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelkel Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) Andddd, it's a resounding no from Indiana. Looks like it won't be just two schools today... 300 applicants for 10 spots, btw. Edited February 7, 2012 by Kelkel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it won't be just two schools today... 300 applicants for 10 spots, btw. I'm sorry to hear about your rejection from IU. How did you hear from Indiana? I've applied there and no word yet... Nevermind- I just saw your post. Sorry, kelkel!! Edited February 7, 2012 by A Finicky Bean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelkel Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) Unsolicited email just a second ago. It was personalized (with my name at least) from the DGS. Edited February 7, 2012 by Kelkel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMP Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 What?? Indiana is actually waking up now? These smattering posts of Indiana on the results board are making me wonder what the heck is going on. I know they admit very, very slowly and don't do "admit weekends", only allowing accepted students to come on a weekend on their own. I do know that if you don't get a rejection e-mail from Indiana at all, chances are that you are on their ranked list. So considered yourself waitlisted until you've been accepted, or rejected on April 15th. ---from a two-timer IU wait-listee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lureynol Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I think Brown sent all of its rejections first. That is the old, traditional way to do it. My professors keep telling me that if I'm not hearing anything it's a good sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelkel Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Siiigghhh. I'm beginning to feel like I wasted a lot of money applying for PhD programs when they don't want me (yes, yes funded MA I remember). I wish someone would have told me not to bother and save up that money for two years down the line. Bah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oseirus Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Sorry to hear about all the Brown news ... on an unreleated note ... I guess Brown won the pool as the first Ivy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treat this as a learning experience, no matter what. I had to promise my husband that if I got rejected across the board on this try (my first try) that I would try again.

Kelkel Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I know. I'm not giving up. I'm just sad if I wasted all that money applying to PhD programs when no PhD program will accept me. You know?

telemaque Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) Does anyone have any inside information on Penn? Last year they did the interview weekend in late February but there's been no word of that yet this year.

bjett003 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 So nothing else from Indiana so far? I also applied there and can't stop frantically checking my email! I got a "ding" and almost had a heart attack, but it was proflowers reminding me to send flowers to my girlfriend for Valentine's Day...guess who will not be getting my business this year! Best of luck to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simple Twist of Fate Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Commiserations to the Brown rejectees. And IU - sorry to hear that, Kelkel. Yikes - 10 for 300... I'm definitely downgrading my chances for acceptance there. If they're sending personalized rejections, I guess it may be a trickle of rejections rather than a machine-gun fire of rejections like Duke and Brown have done. That's only going to make me more nervous for the rest of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
