Horb Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Has anyone been rejected from NYU yet? I kinda just want to get my rejection over with as I'm certain there'll be no more acceptances or waitlists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WendyWonderland Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) Hey, @German applicant, I emailed the coordinator a week ago but no reply. Should I try DGS? Was denkst du? Finde es wirklich unmöglich... Edited February 14, 2014 by WendyWonderland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megeen Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Hey, @German applicant, I emailed the coordinator a week ago but no reply. Should I try DGS? Was denkst du? Finde es wirklich unmöglich... I'm not sure if you mean me but if you do, I usually fall on the side of don't bother the DGS, it won't make things go faster--except when people actually do, as with calling Chicago, and find out good info. It's hypocritical, I know So, as for your question goes, ich finds auch unmöglich, but well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romanista Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Waitlisted at USF. My application was only referred to the department for a decision a week ago. Strange that I am the only one who has posted on the board thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortstack51 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Oh holy poop, now Boulder is calling people?! Good luck!! And try not to stress! When universities start calling, it usually takes a couple of days because it takes more organizing on the adcomm's end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eb14 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 So I didn't get an email from Cornell to check the website and when I logged in, my status still says "IN PROGRESS." So what the hell does that mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArthChauc Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Wow! Congratulations to all the Brown/Cornell acceptances! I didn't apply to either, but I just wanted to say that I'm super excited for you guys. I don't know if I'm feeling extra mushy today because it's Valentine's day or because it's a good distraction from actually working, but I just wanted to say that I'm sincerely so happy for everyone who has been accepted to programs that they love thus far and thankful to those people who have been and continue to be positive resources and "cheerleaders" on this forum. Speaking from my own experience, it's totally devastating to be turned down by a school you applied to (especially if you loved it) and it's hard to be happy for others sometimes, but I'm so impressed by everyone's supportive attitude toward each other--it reminds me that academia, at the end of the day, is a community and a fantastic one at that. Cheers, all. Eat a ton of chocolate today. You know I will. Ozymandias Melancholia, Romanista, igetstuffdunn and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArthChauc Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I've heard teaching a 2-2 or a 2-1 load is pretty normal--is that not true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiz Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I've heard teaching a 2-2 or a 2-1 load is pretty normal--is that not true? Idk if it is. But i dont have to teach at urbana for two years. And its cheaper to live in. And they pay more. And i like it better. Pshh pshh. No contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArthChauc Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Oh no, I totally agree that you should go where the best offer is and where you'd be happiest, I was just commenting on teaching load in general. I haven't received the official paperwork for my first acceptance (nor the phone call I was supposedly going to get this week as it was communicated to me via email), but it looks like, historically, the institution that accepted me usually does a 2-1 yearly load. My assistantship is between 15-20k with full medical, dental, and vision. It's also in a very inexpensive area. I'm excited about it because it is an acceptance and there are two scholars I would be happy to work with at the university, plus their tenure placement looks good--about nine people in the last three years are tenure track, the rest have visiting professor gigs--but I'm feeling a little blah about it as I have nine schools left to go. It's a weird feeling, being accepted somewhere and then getting greedy and thinking about all the "better" programs you applied to. I wonder if I'm alone in this?
