AJS Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Has anyone heard any news (acceptance/rejection) from UW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waitinginohio Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 nope - I'm eagerly waiting too! I was hoping they would notify last week, like they did in 2008, but it looks like we might be waiting a bit longer - acceptances were on Feb 17th in 2006...

waitinginohio Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 ok, so maybe I'm just obsessing, but I logged in to check the status of my application, and the website (https://www.grad.washington.edu/applFor ... login.aspx) says: Application Status: You will receive notification of acceptance or denial by email or postal mail. I don't remember this being there before, but it's also been a long week, so it might have been there all along... anyone else have the same message and know if it's new or not?

socoffamily Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 "Thank you for your application to the University of Washington Graduate School. Your file has been carefully reviewed by the graduate admissions committee in the Sociology (PhD) program. Unfortunately, I must notify you that the committee has decided not to recommend your admission and I have accepted that decision. The number and quality of graduate applicants to the University of Washington is extraordinary and these difficult decisions are reached through careful consideration of all applicants to a given program. In many cases, enrollment restrictions are also a factor, limiting our ability to accept all qualified applicants. If you should have questions regarding the reasons for this decision, they should be directed to the graduate program. I wish you well in your future educational endeavors."

waitinginohio Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 was it a mass e-mail, or personal? or was it "real" mail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socoffamily Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Mass email. Very impersonal, not even from the department, but just the Graduate School. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Mass email. Very impersonal, not even from the department, but just the Graduate School. That's unfortunate. Sorry to hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Just got an email acceptance with TA appointment. That leaves 3 more programs to hear from... Oh, also:recruitment weekend the 3-4 of April Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waitinginohio Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 funding details pico? and was it a personal e-mail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 funding details pico? and was it a personal e-mail? Yes, it was a personal email with recruitment weekend details attached. Funding is vague: currently is about $1500/month for TAing, but they expect it to be a little higher in 2009-10. It's renewed annually. I'm very excited about this... definitely one of my top choices. It takes the edge off some of the less good news I've received Best of luck to those still waiting!

slothy Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Oh, also:recruitment weekend the 3-4 of April That's great... I had heard that the weekend was cut through my contacts there, so my guess is they somehow pulled together some more $$ at the last minute (which probably explains why it's a month later than past years)!

living_in_paradise Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Congratulations Pico! I just got an acceptance email as well, with a fellowship offer (about $1500/month, like the TA position). Not sure if I'll take them up on it (waiting to hear about a fellowship from another school), but it's great to have options. Good luck to all those still waiting to hear!

grad2B Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Do you know if they're still making offers? I haven't heard anything yet. Hmmm....maybe that means I'm waitlisted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waitinginohio Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I haven't heard anything yet either... I'll probably call tomorrow afternoon if I haven't heard anything by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
living_in_paradise Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 If it helps, the email I got was sent out at 4:30 on Thursday afternoon, so they might be sending out another batch Friday morning. They seem to have sent out a round of rejections already (three posted on the results board), so if you haven't heard either way there's a good chance you're still in the running.

waitinginohio Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Still haven't heard anything, so I called at 4pm PST. The person I should talk to had already left for the weekend, and the person who answered the main office phone number told me letters had already gone out. sigh...... wait listed perhaps?

grad2B Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Thanks for the info, waitinginohio. I guess I'll wait for that "dear applicant" letter. Why don't they just send emails, like the rejections and acceptances? I don't get it. I think admissions committees must be closet sadists. :twisted: So mean!

dirkduck Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I also haven't heard anything. Hearing one way or another, or at least confirmation of being on a wait list would be nice... :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waitinginohio Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 My mom called to let me know I got a big envelope in the mail yesterday. I got an acceptance without funding and a folder full of info about the UW. The letter said I should call to ask more about funding options.

grad2B Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I got the same letter, waitinginohio. Have you contacted anyone about funding possibilities? I'm wondering if we will be offered funding if the funded applicants decline the offer, or are we basically SOL for the whole first year no matter what? Also, it doesn't sound like they're offering to pay for the visitation weekend either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
