sparkle456 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Has this happened to anyone? I strongly believe this is about to happen to me. I'll let you know what is said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aceflyer Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I have yet to hear of such a phenomenon. Do you have any idea why they would want to schedule a telephone conversation to reject you? It seems like this is a rather unwieldy and inconvenient thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socialpsych Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I guess I could understand it if you've had extensive contact with people in the program or interviewed there. In slightly unusual circumstances, I called a school to withdraw my application. I guess it's kind of the same thing, except backwards, if a school calls to reject you? That said, I have never actually heard of anything like that happening. Do let us know what was said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodGuy Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 A phone call is how I found out I didn't get into one Ivy. I emailed a prof I'd been in touch with (mainly) via email since before the application process. As I'd heard rumours that results were being heard, I sent him an email, asking if there was any news about my application decision. He sent me an email, asking me to call him. I did. We chatted. He told me that I hadn't been made an offer to be part of the incoming cohort. I was cool with the results actually, as I was pretty sure at the time which two schools (that I'd already gotten into) I'd really be choosing between. If anything, it was a relief to find out that I hadn't gotten in--fewer wrenches, as it were, thrown into the decision-making mix! But I also thought it was relatively cool of him to handle it that way. I hung up feeling all right. Then a coupla days later, I got the rote, standard "rejection" email, and that felt so anti-climactic that I could only laugh at it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkle456 Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 AHH! I got in, and posted to the results. No stipend but tuition waiver, not sure for how many years...didn't think to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
