anxious_aspirant Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I spy a Northeastern acceptance. Wish I could say it's mine. Looking at the dates/results from the past, it seems like they're all over the place with acceptance/rejection/waitlist notifications. Any feedback? Anyone else heard from them, even just about the timeline? Here's to hoping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachelelin Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I called them last Friday. English admin lady (Melissa Daigle?) said they are close to finalizing and should be releasing decisions over the next couple of weeks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anxious_aspirant Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 Thanks...glad one of us was brave enough to call. It's the last school I'm waiting on. Still hoping...though cautiously, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachelelin Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Am waiting on this and Brandeis (although have pretty much given up on that one as Br. has already sent out some acceptances). Fingers crossed!! Hopefully they will put us out of our misery soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rachelelin Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Yup, I am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachelelin Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Really hoping for Northeastern. You have any news to report on the decisions front? I don't think the schools would react well if I were to call them again... tempting though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutFinch Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I have nothing to report : ( I had originally promised myself not to follow forums (seeing how obsessively my boyfriend checked in on his med school forums)... but I've caved. I'm obsessively checking my email anyway. I might as well obsess in good company : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutFinch Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I'm an MA applicant btw. If you guys haven't heard yet, I still have even longer to wait lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachelelin Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Hello all, I spoke to GSAS (again!) and was told that english PhD decisions should be being released by March 23rd as the committee will need to turn its attention to the MA applications by that point. Hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that helps! March 23rd, really?! I will have probably made my decision by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent_G Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Well, that's frustrating. What was up with that one acceptance that was posted on the 2nd then? Why do these schools torture us so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutFinch Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 My hair will be entirely pulled out by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stately Plump Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Well, that's frustrating. What was up with that one acceptance that was posted on the 2nd then? Why do these schools torture us so? My bet is that it was either a fake or a mistake. I'm not waiting on them, but whenever I see a post go up that early, I always assume it's not real. It's also possible that that student was awarded some type of dean's fellowship or something, in which case they often notify much earlier.

Pretty much at this point if I haven't heard from a school, then I'm not factoring them into my decision making process. There's only a month left!!!

ScoutFinch Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 So, the 23rd is approaching for anyone still waiting... I can only imagine how much longer after that they will be deliberating MAs... I told myself my decision was made... but I can't move on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutFinch Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Any word guys? I'm sorry for the whining. But if Ph.D applicants don't hear back soon... I might lose it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anxious_aspirant Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 I've been doing the same, refreshing TGC all to often...didn't want to be the first one to ask. Whining is totally acceptable at this stage of the game...can't be avoided. her_ran 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferhin Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 (edited) I want to call the DGS, but I don't have the guts (I even had my husband try to call but no answer). *sad panda* Edited March 23, 2012 by (im)patiently waiting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferhin Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I called today and Melissa D. told me that adcomm was meeting this week to finalize their decisions for the doctoral program, and that I (we) should hear back this week or the beginning of next week.
