cunninlynguist Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) IIRC, all decisions pertaining to Masters-level (MEM, MF, MESC) applicants are released simultaneously. (In less polite terms: no chance in hell that's a legitimate posting). There's no logical reason to believe their schedule has changed this year, and here's a recent blog entry confirming that: "We do release all decisions at the same time, around March 15." EDIT: Appears that PhD decisions were released by FES today. In that case, the entry in question was likely just an oversight and whomever filled it out didn't check off PhD.

harawzx Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 @harawzx: I actually applied through IIE so no idea when they submitted my apps on my behalf - probably around early/mid Dec since that's when I gave them all my materials. It was bit of a surprise as well, maybe they act upon IIE applications quicker? According to both cunninlynguist and the results survey Duke admitted a few odd students around this time last year too. But it's still early guys so all the best! Just got acceptance letter from Duke as well, I got it this Wednesday morning! artemis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curlie-sue Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Hi all! i have applied all those typical MEM-type programs at Yale, UCSB, U-M, Duke, and also environmental change management at Oxford. So far, I've only heard from Duke - yes. They were fast! I submitted on the very last day and heard back 2 weeks later. If only the other schoools were as quick. Anyone get news from any of these others yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cunninlynguist Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 Welcome, curlie-sue! Congratulations on the Duke acceptance -- is that your post on the Results Survey with the $14K scholarship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akl_cat Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) Congrats curlie-sue! By the way there was another Yale MEM decision posted up on RS just then. It just seems unlikey that so many people have mistaken the "Masters" option for the "PhD" one. My heart misses a beat everytime I see a post like that Edited February 17, 2012 by akl_cat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cunninlynguist Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 We're still a month away from Yale. Whomever is posting these results is a troll or someone trying to make a point in an extraordinarily passive-aggressive manner. At least March 15th is a Thursday, so even if FES doesn't adhere to their deadline strictly, it's probable that we'd learn our fates on Friday the 16th. And some of us are still toiling in the misery of no-decision-land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi cunninlynguist, does the Duke decision come in the mail or on Applyyourself? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cunninlynguist Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 Welcome MrWilderness! I see you're a fellow victim of Brown. The Duke decision is located on the website -- first I received an e-mail prompt stating that the decision had been posted on ApplyYourself. A subsequent e-mail arrived shortly thereafter that included my password to ApplyYourself (in case it was forgotten, I presume). @tiredwaiting: Thanks! Here's to hoping you get a notification in the very near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
