Swagato Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 Personally, I've written Northwestern off. I'm far more stressed out over Chicago, which is not only one of my top choices, but is also mysteriously silent so far. Granted, an admit email was reported on this date in 2011, so they are within a reasonable timeframe. However, with all those Chicago departments sending out emails on a 1-2 day span just a few days ago, and today's flurry of Mathematics rejection emails, I'm increasingly worried that they have already notified and that it has simply bypassed this forum.

edenetapres Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Eh I wouldn't sweat it about Chicago. The Math results seem pretty irrelevant; a lot of the other humanities depts seem not to have sent out any decisions yet either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swagato Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 I've actually been trying to figure out which humanities depts. have notified and which haven't. Off-hand, could you name some? For some reason my mind's frazzled today, ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGalCanHope Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Yargh. Rejected from UT-Austin. Bummer. One of my tops. ErnestPWorrell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmein Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Just received email acceptance from Austin, including full funding details!!! Huzzah! I'm really shocked that UT sorted out its funding this early. I hope others have received good news in their inbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmein Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Oh, I should mention that there were 8 acceptances at Austin from a pool of 100 or so. The email didn't specify how many of those acceptances were PhD vs. MA, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swagato Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 What was the Austin funding package like, if you don't mind sharing? I'm just curious about public institution/level of funding. Feel free to PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl_790 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I just checked my status on the UT-Austin website, and it says that it's still "in review." I don't know if that's a good thing or not.... the anticipation is killing me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgeofmyseat Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Can someone tell me where they go to check the status of their applications online? My application pages simply say "submitted," but I have yet to find where it says something like "Under Review." Thanks in advance for any pointers!

letmein Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Every university seems to have its own submission system, and constructions of some of them are downright baffling. For instance, when I submitted my UT application, I received a new "UT EID" username and password to log me into the university's central services. In order to check my status, I would have to log into the UT network, scroll to a bottom link called "Admissions," click on another link for "Application Status," and finally "View Details" to get to the actual decisions page. Ay carumba! I think most programs will send you an email directly if there is any change in your status (for good or ill). It's rarer that the application pages will be the first way you receive any decision updates. One exception is Northwestern, which has an apparent history of posting rejections to its website without bothering to inform applicants at all. But most other sites don't serve much purpose other than encouraging compulsive checking and refreshing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmein Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 By the way, a long-awaited acceptance for UChicago appears to have been posted to the results page. Anyone here claiming it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swagato Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) Yes, please. Any information about the Chicago admit would be appreciated. Edit: Principally, when did you receive the email, and was there any mention of cohort size? Edited February 10, 2013 by Swagato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmophile Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Has anyone heard from Brown or Harvard yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swagato Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 No, it isn't yet time for either of those two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl_790 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 For those still waiting on UT-Austin, I just e-mailed the coordinator, and she said not all 8 admits have been notified yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swagato Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 Pitt will more than likely notify this week. Will the Chicago admit really not come forth? I'm really keen on learning any other information available re: cohort size, possible waitlists, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swagato Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 $#@%@#$^ I'm waitlisted at Pitt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmein Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) Potentially hopeful news, Swagato! I hope there's a drop so you can fill in. How many other apps do you have left? Edited February 11, 2013 by letmein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swagato Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Quite a bunch. Not counting official rejection (UCSB) and implicit ones, 7 are left to notify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mynameistrinity Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 hi all, haven't really followed this but here's what i've got so far-- accepted: UCSB, UT-Austin interviewed at UW-Madison, Northwestern haven't heard from anyone else (the usual lot) madison says they're still waiting to see how many current students stay on and need funding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmein Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Hi, mynameistrinity! Congrats on all the acceptances so far. We may be future colleagues at Austin or UCSB. More info on your experience with Northwestern would be appreciated. Are you a Screen Cultures applicant? Have they already done their interview weekend? Do you have any idea about class size, number of applications, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximusrex23 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I can claim one of those Irvine acceptances. I think they probably notified most on the 8th of Feb. Funding details, TBA... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgeofmyseat Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Do the UCs tend to notify around the same time as one another? It seems like they are currently sending out a lot-- friends of mine have heard from Davis, San Diego and Santa Cruz all in the past week (not all film programs). Yet I haven't heard a peep from UCLA anywhere on here. Hmmmm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
