Luckige Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 NYU just declined me, offering me admisisons in their unfunded masters program. I will give that a ton of consideration... :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swr22 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 i haven't heard from MIT either, but since i'm at overseas, the (rejection) letter probably is on the way here... losing much hope this year... only left with GW and USC(is it out yet?). with a scholarship and three-year experience of lecturing, i (mistakently) thought that i have strong credentials... well, c'est la vie! btw, would it be wise to take a master's course or reapply for phd next year? generally what do people do?? USC is.....(if you are talking SoCal rather tan SoCar), but I would email the department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimisticPOLITICS Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 NYU just declined me, offering me admisisons in their unfunded masters program. I will give that a ton of consideration... :roll: Same thing for me and NYU and am not sure what I should do? I mean there are difinate advantages for NYU but do you guys think a fully funded Howard PhD would be better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julianashe Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Same thing for me and NYU and am not sure what I should do? I mean there are difinate advantages for NYU but do you guys think a fully funded Howard PhD would be better? Just got the same email from NYU asking me to apply for the master's program. Does everyone rejected received the same email? Or just those received rejections today... I'm not sure about master's program since I am already in one in econ :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julianashe Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Not sure yet...Just sent an email to ask about details. Still no good news from other schools. Maybe I should consider this as a backup plan..Like you said there are difinate advantages for NYU. :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoliSci Guy Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 In at Georgetown... Just got an email at 1:12 EST today. Invited to preview day 4/3. Congrats! Are they making a better offer than UF?

PoliSci Guy Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 My wife said there's a Columbia letter waiting at home. What do you all think it is? Rejection or waitlist? Crap, another day of productivity lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivyreject Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 About Georgetown: The email I got was a generic form letter acceptance with some Word attachments about Preview Day. There was no mention of funding, so I'm assuming none is being offered. I seem to recall a bunch of G'town acceptances a few weeks ago, which I assume was their fellowship people. My funding situation is basically this: UF said I'm on a waitlist, and G'town is apparently saying, "We'll be glad to take your money." Have others received the email today? I guess traffic has slowed around these parts as the Ivy Leaguers and other fully funded folks have already received their good news. I'm still waiting on GW, American, and BU - but I'm assuming BU is a rejection because I didn't get an acceptance like some did on Monday. This has been a good week for me so far. Aside from the MIT rejection (which I'm sure is arriving in the mail soon...), I'm in at what I consider to be some pretty decent places. I also submitted a late application to Northeastern today. Their program is new and may not be as selective, but if there's funding available and no one else comes through with the big bucks, I may have to consider it. Plus, I love Boston. Oh, BU, please don't reject me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
