frozencake Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Anyone hears anything about this particular program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AH YES! Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I went into the office yesterday to find out how long would it take since I have other offers waiting, and they said I should ask for an extension until 2nd week of April. By that time, she said, everyone should know if they're accepted or rejected. Let us see now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frozencake Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 What is the result survey? March 10th 2012 is SAT, I think York only sends on accepts on weekdays...I think it starts on March 12th this Monday. I strongly believe offers will be out the March 12-16 week cause there is a 2-week wait for accepts to decide, then it's early april for 2nd round, mid-april for second round to decide, then all rejects will be out by mid-april.

thirdeye Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Hi Everyone, PhD ComCult (Fall, 2012) has started rolling out their offers. I received this message from the department tonight (March 12, 2012) at 6:00pm: Dear Craig, I am pleased to inform you that our admissions committee has recommended you for admission into the PhD program at York in Communication and Culture. We had a very competitive applicant pool, so congratulations on your success here. An official offer will follow in a few days followed by a financial support offer a week or so after that, but I wanted to notify you right away about our decision. Congratulations on behalf of the program and especially our admissions committee. Best of luck colleagues. I hope that participants on this thread are also admitted for the fall term! Best, Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frozencake Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 According to result survey another phd got offer....is this over? All offers are out? Sigh...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosamundReage Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 According to result survey another phd got offer....is this over? All offers are out? Sigh...... Frozencake I would not count yourself out just yet. Yes, a few emails have gone out but we do not know if all offers have been received yet. Email is notoriously dubious when applying to grad school and sometimes a letter will just show up in your mailbox. These offers are also the first round and some people may reject them (especially because they were sent out so late). This was an immensely competitive year for comcult on the York side and I believe they received almost 90 applications for 8 spots so do not feel bad! I would call York in the next couple days for an update on your application and if you were not one of the few who were sent first round offers I would ask if my application could be sent over to the ryerson side. Far fewer people applied to Ryerson and many of the top rejected York candidates will be sent over there so you still have a good shot of getting in even if you do not get in on the York side. You can even try contacting the ryerson GPD to ask if you application can be sent over. Please do not feel bad even if you do not get in as I said it is so competitive right now. If you want to try again next year try to build a closer bond with your potential supervisor and even try to get a LOR from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
