Darth.Vegan Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) It's cool. I just got a personal rejection e-mail from my POI at Cornell. Even though I got my first Masters at Columbia (MPH) I am not feeling super positive right now. Ugh. Second time applying. Just really frustrated, y'all. Sorry to hear that, hang in there. I'm annoyed that I have yet to be rejected from anywhere even though 4 of the schools I applied to sent out multiple acceptances a week or more ago. You want to believe you might be wait listed or that there will be a second wave of acceptances, but a rejection is the most likely scenario at this point. I just want to know so I can move on.

heyitsthatguy Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I'll claim the UM waitlist. I couldn't resist emailing the director of grad studies...all acceptances are out and waitlist emails are to follow shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did your POI state whether they were done making decisions or had merely narrowed down the list to a group of finalists? Sorry to hear about the bad news. On the bright side, with an MPH from Cornell you're still pretty much guaranteed a bright future no matter what the outcome of your applications Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heathenist Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 heyitsthatguy, By UM, are you referring to University of Minnesota or University of Massachusetts at Amherst? Judging by the results page, I'm guessing he is referring to Michigan. amlobo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt12710 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Judging by the results page, I'm guessing he is referring to Michigan. I totally ignored the fact that more than two schools could be abbreviated as UM. Oops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palito Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Sorry to hear that, hang in there.

You want to believe you might be wait listed or that there will be a second wave of acceptances, but a rejection is the most likely scenario at this point. I just want to know so I can move on. I would just give the graduate secretary at each program a call. The GS at UT Austin is especially nice. I imagine that most others will also be happy to talk with you about the status of your application, and maybe even put whatever decision was made in context for you. It's a nerve wracking call at first, but I'm sure you will feel better afterward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know. He made it an explicit point to state that my application was extremely strong...and that they only accepted 6 people (3% acceptance rate) from this year's pool of applicants. I'm 0/2 out of a total of 8 (also rejected from Princeton, like basically everyone else on the planet). Someone needs to start a VC fund that backs travel or pharma-related coping mechanisms for all of us from mid-Jan until mid-March.

soc13 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Hey y'all. I've been a lurker on the site for a couple weeks, but time to post! Anyone heard anything from, or have any idea when we'll hear about Vanderbilt? I only applied to two programs [in haste, a total long shot and last minute decision at the urging of profs]. I'm coming from an MPH program. Only applied to Vanderbilt and to UPenn, but for social welfare instead of sociology. My focus is on the social context of health disparities. Thanks! Best of luck to all of you and congrats to those who have acceptances! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blixx008 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Did you email them? I got an email from a sociology advisor. I've only seen a couple on the results page, so I'm sure they aren't done sending them out yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blixx008 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Cornell. Wow. My brother is applying to MFA programs and he has to deal with acceptance rates like that pretty much across the board, but that's pretty low for a sociology program.

OrangeSoc Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Folks who applied to Brown or Michigan State - Are we able to check the status of our application online? I have one link for Brown (http://www.applyweb.com/cgi-bin/ustat), but when I log in, it simply confirms that all of pieces of my application were submitted. I don't see anywhere noting my application status... Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
