raptureonfire Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Well fortunately they have guaranteed funding for all their phd students and all ppl get the same. Love schools that do that! So good luck to everyone on gettin in! Getting accepted is certainly my goal here. They may be a stretch, but in looking at the Results board, I might actually be a good candidate (if GRE scores are anything to judge by). I haven't heard a thing from any of my schools (including American and GMU), and I'm getting pretty antsy over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiffRam Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Sorry for all the rejections today guys can't wait till this hellish week is over...been an absolute bloodbath for me. Spirit crushing Keep your head up! Many more to go, and you've still got that Ohio State acceptance to be proud of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing from GMU yet? And I think American comes out significantly later actually...but hey, think about what happens if you do grab American. They do amazing standard funding packages!

CGMJ Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Claiming a Michigan rejection. At least I've heard something now, but hopefully not a trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phdhope2013 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I am making it official : the Northwestern acceptance must be a lie (if it is not, please claim it). Thanks.

And I think American comes out significantly later actually...but hey, think about what happens if you do grab American. They do amazing standard funding packages! Unfortunately, no. No rejection. No waitlist. No nuthin'. My grad transcripts were late in arriving (to my utter dismay and serious frustration). Over a month late. So, we'll see if that precluded me from consideration. It stinks, because it would be awesome to work with John Paden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainbowz Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 After talking to them, I was under the impression that all of the apps had this problem. Yes, that is correct. I called the department on Monday, website is broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quigley Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 So I guess the person at Michigan is manually re-typing these rejections one-by-one. Mine should be here by Wednesday. lucid1984 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wemayet Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Michigan results search stats at the moment - today there have been 7 rejections and 4 waitlists, prior to today 9 acceptances and 3 rejections. It's not looking good for us hopefuls, but regardless... chin up folks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you applied to the PhD in Public Policy? Because relax, they won't be out for at least a month (slightly different field). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine tried to teach me the proper pronunciation for roughly 20 min last week Not to confirm any cultural stereotypes, but it varies according to how drunk we are. Are there any other Aussies on here, lurking perhaps? Would be interested to hear from you, compare notes. From my perspective, it seems the American universities don't like to tell people 'no'. Of the six I applied to, 4 are dark and I've still not heard from Chicago or MIT. Just put me out of my misery....... setgree 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
