MarxianSociologist Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Saw an NYU acceptance posted. Does anyone care to claim it?
flowerblitz Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 It was me. Just received a phone call from a member of the committee. Fully funded, any TA or RA position would be on top of fellowship. A formal announcement will arrive via e-mail. Seems like they have divided the phone calls between members of the committee. The Prof. that called me said he took the internationals, so if you are American seems like there's nothing to worry about. I am a bit shocked because during the process of applying I have made attempts to contact professors, and non of them replied. I'm not even sure what I think of the department. Was also accepted to Columbia and (probably) to Chicago Anthro... waiting for other results and not really sure where to put myself at this stage.
MakeSetBsy Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 flowerblitz, sorry to hijack this thread, but do you have any insight on what is going on with Chicago anthro? I interviewed and expected to hear by the end of last week, but nothing so far. Thanks.
flowerblitz Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 uhm, they said formal results would be out in a few weeks (depending on bureaucracy mainly). i got the impression they haven't interviewed that many people, and at least my interviewer told me not to worry (hope he's right).
penpen Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 I am an international applicant . The prospects for me look bleak since I'm assuming it's been over an hour since the phone call.
avee Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 What the hell, flower? You got into both Columbia AND NYU? I haven't heard anything. I am a domestic, but still ((((((((((((((
MarxianSociologist Posted February 15, 2012 Author Posted February 15, 2012 Wow...Columbia and NYU, flowerblitz?! That's amazing! At least those of us who applied to both and haven't heard anything know there's going to be an opening at at least one of them when you decline haha.
flowerblitz Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Thanks, all of you, really. Applying was such a tiring process and frankly all I feel right now more or less boils down to "what?!" Am I the girl who submitted all these applications? Plus there's a big stress factor re moving to the other side of the globe... And I am still anxiously waiting to hear from Harvard (and some other places, but frankly, all I care about is Harvard) - any news from that front anyone?
Origin=Goal Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Wow...Columbia and NYU, flowerblitz?! That's amazing! At least those of us who applied to both and haven't heard anything know there's going to be an opening at at least one of them when you decline haha. Sorry to interject, but I was wondering about you're opinion of the social sciences faculty at NYU; given their reputation in sociology and economics as being more critical-theoretical, and judging by your username and familiarity with these disciplines, I'm interested in hearing a more informed evaluation. I'm familiar with a couple of the more famous names, like Ollman and Roubini (don't laugh!), but stand to learn a lot as concerns the social scientists with Marxian leanings.

Must be department policy because my POI didn't get back to me. I hope I get a phone call soon. *takes deep breaths*

I'm familiar with a couple of the more famous names, like Ollman and Roubini (don't laugh!), but stand to learn a lot as concerns the social scientists with Marxian leanings. I personally think the sociology faculty at NYU is stellar. Many of the people I'd be interested in working with, like Harvey Molotch for example, have quite the Marxist slant to some of their work. His famous "growth machine" theory is one example of that. Anyway, I don't wanna get us too off topic here, but feel free to PM me if you want to talk some more cuz I definitely love me some Marx!
largo Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 I'm an international but I haven't received a phone call yet. Does this mean I'm rejected? Will they send me an e-mail at least if I am so? Just got rejected by Brown as well. Le sigh.
penpen Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 No, I don't see any other acceptances posted either. Don't know what's going on
flowerblitz Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 the open days are March 21st and 22nd, there's still time. after informing me by phone that i was accepted, i received a formal/informal email from the chair of the admissions committee, but not a formal offer from the graduate school yet --- so it is likely they haven't let everybody know yet.

penpen Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Another acceptance, does anyone want to claim it? Any other details?
sociology27 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 so, just to be clear... have we heard of any domestic acceptances yet?
sleepycat Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 so, just to be clear... have we heard of any domestic acceptances yet? the one on the results page is domestic. 6 spots left!
sociology27 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 why do you assume 6 spots left? Are they only taking 8 or are they shooting for a cohort of 8. I gotta believe theyre gonna take about 20 if theyre shooting for 8.
sleepycat Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 I don't know where I saw that so I am sorry about misleading you guys about the spots. Still two spots taken!
sociology27 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 It's okay. Not like worrying/anticipating affects the outcome of anything.
