Andean Pat Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Ok, I've heard from all schools now! Got my last acceptance yesterday and I have decided to attend Emory!!! Any inside US comments on this????? CageFree 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeatherElbows Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 So for those of you out there who have offers and are also on waitlists, what are your plans? Are you still holding out hope for those programs, or are you already seeing yourself somewhere you've been accepted to? Just curious. My first choice is deciding on funding soon. If I get a good package, I'm going to accept. If the funding is not so good, I'm going to wait to hear back from the other schools. I'm looking forward to having some solidarity in my future and no more having to look at a globe to guess where I'll be in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly1988 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Hi guys! I've been lurking around all season, and I've loved reading all of your discussions, but I actually have a question now. Does anyone know anything about the NYU waitlist? Do people actually get accepted off of it, or is it just a soft no? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

herstorian Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) ...and because what goes up must come down, Chicago just rejected me. I guess don't presume you're getting a MAPSS referral until they actually come; they're rejecting in waves. Ahh, I'm still waiting on Chicago as well. Did you receive an email from the department? Also, I just received my first waitlist (at UVa as well) and wanted to know whether it's too early to ask to be taken off the list, since I'm fairly certain I will be choosing another school anyways. Plus, it sounds like there are tiers of waitlist, and I don't want to prolong another applicant's agony. Anyone else hear back from NYU ? That's the only other school I'm waiting on at the moment.

I did get an email from Chicago. It didn't come directly from anyone in the department but from the "Dean of Students" (I think of social sciences, since the attached letter was on social sciences letterhead), saying they couldn't offer admission to the department. I didn't see that anyone else did on the results board, so maybe I'm a special case? Maybe I was MAPSS referred but they decided I probably wouldn't go for it based on my background and/or didn't have the space in MAPSS and just gave me a late breaking rejection -- meaning everyone else at this stage will get the MAPSS. Who knows. From the letter I received from UVA, it sounded as if they'd be really happy to take anyone's name off the waitlist ASAP so others could move up. I've heard from people who are admitted and/or know the department that chances are grim at NYU if you haven't heard anything by now. EDIT: although someone just posted an NYU waitlist notice. NYU waitlist person - please emerge from the shadows and tell us more. Were you at the prospective weekend? Edited March 6, 2013 by czesc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

czesc Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) Fascinating. Was it an official department/"decision" email, or something from a POI? Were you interviewed or did you receive any contact before? Edited March 6, 2013 by czesc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly1988 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) The waitlist came in an official email, and I did not have any contact with anyone from the department since the Fall semester. I was really expecting a rejection this late, but I don't know that this isn't still a rejection, just a kind one.

hollyevanmarie Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I decided to e-mail the DGS at both Temple and UIC because I know other people had heard and honestly just want to know when I will will find out. I got an e-mail back from UIC saying they are still in the middle of the process, so it looks like they send admittances/rejections out as they come and not at the same time, for anyone waiting. I haven't heard back from the DGS at Temple, so I am now compulsively checking my e-mail. Oh and I got waitlisted for the MA program at UNC Charlotte, which I don't know how to feel about/whether it's likely they will take me off the list.

tempest_teacups Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 my good friend also just got waitlisted at UVA! now comes the awkward/painful time for those poor souls stuck in acceptance limbo. is it too early to hope that people start making final decisions soon for the sake of waitlisters?

danibee123 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Does anyone have any info on the posted UNC rejections or wait-list? I haven't heard anything, but I'm still hoping to at least be wait-listed. Still waiting on UNC as well. I actually broke down and emailed as I am considering an offer from UConn. They were polite but brief, said they are still "conducting the admissions process" and that I should know shortly. Not really helpful but I guess it means we have a chance?

czesc Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Hm, no Harvard rejection in my mailbox yet. As much as I appreciate their taking the expense to reject us in hard copy, the postal service makes this process that much less certain...the Harvard massacre is going to have to be a slow-motion one I guess. More Siege of Leningrad than Battle of the Somme. kyjin and Fayre 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annieca Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Still waiting on Maryland but at this point I'm 100% positive in where I'm going My grandfather offered to give me my inheritance from my Nana who passed away this fall, early, so I potentially don't have to take out any loans. Which is amazing but naturally I'm going to feel indebted to him. Oh well, such is life. Anyone else still waiting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abetheh Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Anyone else still waiting? I'm still waiting for the University of Toronto to finally reject me. I'm also waiting for any kind of information to make its way out of the University of Missouri-Columbia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still waiting for University of Iowa, CUNY, University of Toronto and UVM (which is a MA program). Let's just get this over with already!

theregalrenegade Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Anyone else still waiting? Still waiting on four universities... I keep telling myself I will write the DGS, but then I notice on the board that some of these schools notified well into March, and even April, and I restrain myself. It should be any day now (this is the chant I have going in my head). I've only just turned in apps for scholarships to St Andrews and Nottingham. Thankfully, those are the only two universities that required a separate app for scholarships. I'm ready for some decisions, please!! P.S. annieca - Your nana would have wanted your inheritance to go to something that would make you happy. Know that because of her you'll be in a better place financially. viggosloof28 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
