sociology27 Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Anybody know what this craziness is about? Rejections before acceptances? I didn't receive a reject today (yay?), and I'm wondering who else applied and didn't hear anything. Anybody care to speculate on what's going on?
sociolog86 Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 I was rejected today, my roommate wasn't. Who the heck knows what's going on. At least I did also get my first funded acceptance today also! CUNY wasn't my first choice either....
abc123xtc Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 I applied and also haven't heard anything yet! It's weird that they seem to be doing rejections first.
chibuku Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 I applied for CUNY anthro and they've done rejections first as well. Judging from last year they do rejections and then acceptances/waitlists a couple weeks later, so I'm hoping that silence means I've made the first round of cuts.
MarxianSociologist Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 I applied to CUNY, as well. When I saw rejections being posted, I looked at my application status, and it says I'm accepted. But I haven't gotten an email or anything from them yet, so I'm not sure what's going on.
sociology27 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Posted February 10, 2012 ahhh, me too!! Maybe they're sending acceptance letters via post service??? hmmm. Idk what's going on. I was to celebrate but I'm not sure what's going on..
danielcharles87 Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 Where do we check out our application status? I'm at my Application Summary but can't find it!
sociology27 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Posted February 10, 2012 Mine says so on my application summary page. And I called up the Grad center and were told that letters went out on the 7th. I got mine today, which is indeed an acceptance and some health and housing info... but nothing regarding funding.
abc123xtc Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 Ahh, this makes me so antsy. I haven't gotten a rejection, a letter, or an updated submission status. I guess we'll see...
danielcharles87 Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 I'm in your boat, ABC. Nothing is pretty frustrating...possibly a waitlist? Ugh.

And I called up the Grad center and were told that letters went out on the 7th. I got mine today, which is indeed an acceptance and some health and housing info... but nothing regarding funding. Does anyone know how it usually works with regard to funding? Is it for example a function of GPA? Like: 3.7+ -> 100% funding 3.6-3.7 -> 50% funding 3.4-3.6-> 33% funding 3.4- -> No funding Or does it work differently? And how does funding/no-funding relate to the waitlist? E.g. person X is offered funding but declines (accepts an offer at a different uni), does that mean that his funding package goes to person Y who was admitted but without (or with partial) funding? Or is his funding package going to person Z who is on the waitlist? Edited February 20, 2012 by CoffeeStainedMemos

avee Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I doubt they do funding levels based on GPA. And if a school ever did, I would not wanna be in that department. Agreed DustSNK. But back to the matter at hand-- WHEN DO I FIND OUT CUNY---WHEN!!!!! Why me? Always the middle person... the one most are indifferent toward!
Stelle Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Hi everyone, I am one of those who reported wait-list status in the Results Survey section the past couple of days, and obviously there are at least three names on the wait list. I'm just wondering if anyone has been accepted by CUNY but decide to decline the offer? I'm quite antsy because getting off this wait list may be my only chance to be accepted by any PHD program... Thank you!
RefurbedScientist Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Hi Stelle, I PMed you about my situation.
Urbanethnographer Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 I was accepted but declined the offer if that helps.
