LBJ in admissions thread

[MPPgal]

So aparently someone was rejected, has anyone heard anything? Mine still appears as "in review".

[cptdelorean]

that was for the PhD program. MPAff doesn't come out til early March

[MPPgal]

it says masters...

[cptdelorean]

Where? The top two are both rejects and both from 2013 (and both PhDs). The rest are from previous years.

[cptdelorean]

Oops I was looking at the results page. Where is this thread you are referring to?

[alf10087]

Still shows as In Review to me. Maybe this guy missed a document or something, and he got an early rejection.

 

Needless to say that this post gave me a mini-heart attack.

sorry the whole thing gave me the same

The adcom should be meeting the last week of Feb to finalize the list with letters probably coming out the first week of March. I believe we do admission and funding in the same letter too.

Thanks, should have never thought someone who can´t even spell the word "public" and who seems to think the Mpaff was an MPP as authentic! Sorry

[cptdelorean]

To be fair, not even LBJ knows how to spell "public"....

Lol....freudian slip? let´s hope not!

Maybe there's a seedy underbelly that only LBJ students know about?

This message appeared today on My Status:

"Each individual graduate program sets its own schedule for reviewing application files. You should consult the graduate coordinator in the program to which you have applied to determine when decisions will be made."

 

 

So, that means that I can call? Should I? What do you think?

[lacanadiense]

They've said from the beginning that decisions will be released in March, so I'm not sure what you'd get from contacting them before then.

[alf10087]

Agreed, that message is just standard and I've had it since my application was forwarded to the committee for review.

[RedskinsRule]

Wondering if they will update today or not. Anyone's status change?

[alf10087]

I just checked and got in ! Didn't receive an email.

[lacanadiense]

SAME AS ALF10087!!!!! 2/2! Your post about Berkeley has freaked me out though. At this point I'm not holding my breath.

[ss1987]

Mine still says 'in review'

[RedskinsRule]

Mine still says 'in review'

 

Same here

[RedskinsRule]

alf or lacandiense, did you get an e-mail or did you just check on the UT website? I wonder if that's it or whether they are going down a list or something

[lacanadiense]

No email yet - I just checked the website randomly. Not that I'm obsessing or anything.

[alf10087]

Same here, I just saw your post and checked out of curiosity. I haven't received any notification via email.
