opulent Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 New here =) I have read everything and it seems like there is a theme, not many have heard back from Temple for Art History (MA or PhD). I checked the results search and saw that only one person has reported acceptance in early Feb. I would like this thread to host any news or correspondance that you have had from from/with Temple. Personally I called in and a student answered the phone, telling me that decisions would be mailed out by the end of the month. Good luck to all.
cmalta Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 Hey Opulent, I've been a long-time lurker and just registered to try to offer some help. This may sound stupid, but did you check your TU Portal? Go to Apply for Admission tab, click on the 2012 one, and check if they've updated your status. Mine was just recently updated, though I didn't post anything on the results board. Hope this helps!
opulent Posted March 17, 2012 Author Posted March 17, 2012 cmalta, thanks! I actually check my tuportal every hour, on the hour. Thanks for posting.
cmalta Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 No worries. I just thought I'd suggest that since I almost didn't notice that my status had been updated -- and I also tend to check my applications everyday. Good luck!
OnceAndFutureGrad Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 Hi there. The acceptance in February was me. It was a bit wonderful and alarming. I won a university fellowship on top of it so I've accepted. I've actually already gotten my feet wet with course selection and housing inquiries. Dr. Bolman is my adviser. I've been lurking on the PhD thread and I feel terrible that so few other people are hearing from Temple. Maybe communication was poor because they were off this last week? I hope everyone gets good results soon.
opulent Posted March 17, 2012 Author Posted March 17, 2012 OnceAndFutureGrad, That's awesome news! Congrats to you! I wonder if it would be inappropriate to e-mail my POI? I would email the grad dept, but I already called them & don't want to be redundant.
complexprocedure Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 I was very happy to find an unofficial acceptance via email last night (technically, sometime just before 1am East Coast time this morning). Honestly, no info beyond that (funding, etc.) Happy to answer questions as soon as I am able, but just now I'm heading out the door to catch a flight to a different school to which I've been admitted... I'm not sure how internet-connected I'll be once I land. Hopefully this means everyone should be hearing something soon, too! Good luck!
opulent Posted March 19, 2012 Author Posted March 19, 2012 Congrats!!! I'm pretty sure I'm in the rejected pile. I can just feel it. =(
Hicks Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) When you say TU portal are you talking about through banner? My application doesn't even show up there now. ETA: Oops. I see the portal now...how did I miss that!?! No information there that I can see. Edited March 21, 2012 by Hicks
unitname Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 If you haven't checked your app status in TU Portal yet, under the "admission" tab you can click on your application. Scroll down a bit to where it says "status".
Hicks Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 That didn't help. It says, "Incomplete Items Outstanding" but they told me previously that they had my application. So no help whatsoever.
Hicks Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 It looks like they may never have received my transcripts. It would have been nice if they told me that when I contacted them about another issue a month ago. Very frustrating.
opulent Posted March 21, 2012 Author Posted March 21, 2012 I saw that too! Congrats whoever you are =)
opulent Posted March 22, 2012 Author Posted March 22, 2012 feeling sad and low =( I just wish I knew something!
opulent Posted March 27, 2012 Author Posted March 27, 2012 Should I just assume rejection ?? Still nothing.
Hicks Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 After ages of not hearing from Temple I got an e-mail this afternoon asking for more information and asking if I can visit the campus. But, when I went to reply I noticed that the e-mail was sent on March 13. It was lost in cyberspace for 15 days. How frustrating!
opulent Posted March 28, 2012 Author Posted March 28, 2012 Wow, at least you got something!! I got nothing.
opulent Posted March 28, 2012 Author Posted March 28, 2012 What time did the message reach your inbox?
Hicks Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 I hope you get something soon! This is just so late in the game that it is pretty nerve racking. April 15 is coming up quickly.
Hicks Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 I didn't see your second message. It arrived at 2:21pm today but was sent at 11:41am on the 13th.
opulent Posted April 6, 2012 Author Posted April 6, 2012 I just realized, I don't think I've read/heard of anyone actually getting a rejection from Temple up to this point. Hmmmm. I thought schools generally sent out rejections first, right?
Hicks Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 Many of them send out acceptances well before rejections.
