msright Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Is there any one in the soc department of these universities? Is there any one know whether the commitee have started reviewed files? Is there any one know some informations about the international admittion with funding of the PHD program? Every day is a long day with eager waiting......
ewurgler Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 No news on my end....I applied to UNC, Penn and Berkeley. UNC and berkeley have historically notified the first or second week of feb, but Penn is usually the first bit of march. I haven't seen any results on the page for PSU, UMD or Duke for religion, so they are probably still deliberating. Sorry!
msright Posted January 30, 2009 Author Posted January 30, 2009 no news is good news Thank you for the "no news" information. I will wait and enjoy my Chinese new year~
slothy Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 I just got an acceptance at UNC by phone - posted on results page. Didn't hear about funding.
coqui21 Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 I just got an acceptance at UNC by phone - posted on results page. Didn't hear about funding. On a Sunday?! Crazy. The weekends were my time to relax...now I know to be anxious then, too? Ugh. Congratulations!
slothy Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Actually it did cross my mind that perhaps I shouldn't post this today in the interest of the mental health of my fellow applicants... sorry if I ruined anyone's Super Sunday!
migrationdude Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Aargh, and my phone is broken :|. I won't really know until I get a letter or email I suppose. Anyway, congratulations, slothy and everyone else who got in.
ewurgler Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Slothy---WAY TO GO!!! How high on your list is UNC? Also, was the call from the prof you want to work with? Department head? etc? I applied to UNC and though not super invested in it, I am very curious to hear!! CONGRATS AGAIN!
slothy Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 How high on your list is UNC? Also, was the call from the prof you want to work with? Department head? etc? Answered in a PM.
misterpat Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 On a Sunday?! Crazy. The weekends were my time to relax...now I know to be anxious then, too? Ugh. Congratulations! Yeah, no joke. I thought ad-com work was a job you left at the office for the weekend. P.S. Congrats slothy.
ewurgler Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 To the recent UNC admit post: CONGRATS!!! Quick questions from an anxious waiter: Was the email personalized, generic? From DGS, potential advisor, etc? Thank you!! And congrats again!!
migrationdude Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Same questions here. I'd be interested to know.
slothy Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 It was a phone call from a potential mentor. I got the impression I was special.
ewurgler Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 It was a phone call from a potential mentor. I got the impression I was special. Slothy, I know you got a phone call, but did you post again today saying you got an email? There was another post.
slothy Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 That wasn't me. I haven't received anything in writing yet.
migrationdude Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Slothy, I am pretty sure you were very special if they called you on a Sunday (wasn't that when you posted your acceptance?). Someone else got into UNC today though, so I would think it's a different deal now, maybe they're sending out the first (or only) batch of admits. I personally am not holding my breath for UNC, given that I'm not so sure about my fit with their department. Still, I'm curious to find out.
ewurgler Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 That wasn't me. I haven't received anything in writing yet. Ah ok. So someone else out there has received an email. Show yourself!
ewurgler Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Yep, same here--not holding my breath but very curious to know. Plus, I want one assured acceptance so I can breathe easy.
ewurgler Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 YAY!!! Just got a call from UNC--I'm in!! It was from a potential advisor I mentioned in my SOP. It seems like they passed along apps to the advisors mentioned, so I'm guessing notification depends on when your advisor wants to let you know. Full funding for 4 years: next year: 15,000 + health insurance and tuition waiver, but you have to pay a 1,700 fee. Recruitment weekend is march 4-6. They don't pay for travel, but you do stay with a grad student. YAHOO!
beeswax Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Slothy, I know you got a phone call, but did you post again today saying you got an email? There was another post. Hi! Sorry, that was me. I got an acceptance email and then had to run a meeting! It was personalized. No phone call- but then again I left my phone at home, so who knows?
