Dagny1984 Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 jma310, I have not heard anything from Stony Brook. However, I did notice two acceptances on the board.
jma310 Posted February 25, 2012 Author Posted February 25, 2012 I think in the past they've been scattered. The DGS said mid-march...
Dagny1984 Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Yes you are right. I noticed that looking back at older posts. Thank you for the info from the DGS.
teepeer Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 Hi, Heard anything about phd English admissions (literary theory)? Its MID MARCH ALMOST? *sigh*
desaparecido Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 Hey all. I was accepted back in the beginning of February and I took a tour and met with the DGS and professors last week. I was told I one of the first two folks accepted, and that they just sent out more acceptances last week. I got mine via snail mail, so I have a feeling that's how they'll be doing the rest of the acceptances. If they sent them out last week, as I was told, they should be arriving this week. Best of luck!
desaparecido Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 Er, rather: I was told I was one of the first two folks accepted. Fraggin' typos. I blame the leap forward in time.
jma310 Posted March 11, 2012 Author Posted March 11, 2012 I haven't been near my mailbox in over a week because I'm home for spring break. Ah! Though I'm sure with this abysmal app season that I'm out
Dagny1984 Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 anyone get rejected from here yet? It seems like they are going to wait to the last minute to send rejections.
maybethistime Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 RE. the acceptance that was just posted -- were you previously on the wait list? Also, is there anyone who is turning down their offer from Stony? I am on the wait list and am JUST WONDERING.
nagrom Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 Did anyone apply to the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences (phd) at Stony Brook??? If so, have you heard anything? I've seen one reject (Feb) and one accept (March 6) on the board...... but I have not heard anything from them at all. Status on the website is still "Your application is under review by the admissions commmittee".. starting to think they have forgotten about me.
scozzy Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 I was the person who posted the last acceptance. I wasn't told anything about having been on a waitlist, but I suspect I was, since my offer came so late. Good luck to those still waiting. Also, does anybody know what the total number of entering students in the program is expected to be?
jma310 Posted March 17, 2012 Author Posted March 17, 2012 still waiting over here but they aim for 4-5.

Also, does anybody know what the total number of entering students in the program is expected to be? From what I was told when I visited the department ten days ago (I was accepted in early-February), they had only just sent out the last couple of acceptances a week or two ago, so I don't think you'd have been wait-listed yet. A few more people either just visited campus or are visiting campus this coming week, from what I was told by a friend in the department. Stony Brook aims to take 4 people per year, but they only took 3 last year so are aiming for 4-5 this year. I was thoroughly impressed with the place when I visited - congrats on getting accepted!
maybethistime Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 Thanks for checking in, scozzy. And congrats! Also, congrats to you, ReadWritenap, and thanks for the info you provided. Has anyone else who was accepted confirmed their intent to attend? Best of luck to those still waiting!
jma310 Posted March 20, 2012 Author Posted March 20, 2012 anyone else get the online rejection? i'm sure it's a form but it seemed INCREDIBLY nice...
jfaulk Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 I saw that the website said a decision had been sent via email or mail and in a rejection-panic after not seeing an email I called the English Office and got the good news I was accepted--no word about funding or anything of that nature, but she did say that would be covered in the email that would be incoming today or tomorrow. Best school I've gotten into so far--I am high on the wait-list at Ohio University for funding and admission, so there is that hopefully if stony brook funding doesn't pan out; having not heard from the other schools in the upper tier of my range I am doubting that any news will be good news at this point from them, but we will see...I am funded for USF, but even an unfunded Stony Brook education would be the better of the two options. Good luck to everyone trying to get it =)
jma310 Posted March 20, 2012 Author Posted March 20, 2012 jfaulk-- i'd think you still have a shot at maryland. my bf was accepted there and their visiting day was last week-- he thinks a lot of the cohort may accept other offers so you may be on a second round waitlist that they may end up deferring to.
jfaulk Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Thanks for the Maryland faith jma310 =P and, MA programs for all my applications.
jma310 Posted March 20, 2012 Author Posted March 20, 2012 Ah good luck! I don't think SB funds their MA's-- I have a friend there. But I hail from not too far away and it's a nice place!
Dagny1984 Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 anyone else get the online rejection? i'm sure it's a form but it seemed INCREDIBLY nice... jma310, where was the online rejection located? I got this message: A decision regarding your admission has been mailed and/or e-mailed to you. But no email. I guess they are mailing the answer.
jma310 Posted March 20, 2012 Author Posted March 20, 2012 The online rejection was a link under a similar statement. Maybe the mail/email thing means acceptance?
