Sash23 Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Congrats junotwest and SaschaA!! Thank you! My first acceptance letter! What a relief! junotwest 1
incognegra Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Does anyone know what's going on with NYU? I've heard nothing as of today. Should I expect the worst?
beekay Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Does anyone know what's going on with NYU? I've heard nothing as of today. Should I expect the worst? Also wondering about NYU. At this point, I'm also expecting the worse, especially since there was already an acceptance a couple weeks ago. Has anyone else heard anything?
eka Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 I am also bracing myself for the worst for NYU. If calls went out last week...such a bummer.
bxfemme Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) Hey all, just discovered this forum! Congrats to all with good news! I just received admission to USC on 2/14! I've heard nothing about the department being dissolved. They've offered me a strong funding package, so it seems the program is going strong. Also, received my rejection from Rutgers on 2/7.

mxaveryeverhart Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Hi! I'm kind of late to the game, but I applied to NYU's PhD in Amst. I'm kind of with everyone else who hasn't heard anything and I'm fearing the worst. I've already gotten one rejection (Rutgers WGS PhD), but I was hoping NYU might work out better for me since they make you do their MA coursework even if you've already got a graduate degree of some kind (I applied pending my graduation in May from undergrad). I'm really nervous, but oh well. Did anyone in this thread also apply to Brown's Modern Culture & Media or did people stick to their Amst PhD? Throwing it out there! Congrats to everybody so far! Super stoked for you (if a bit jealous ).

Super stoked for you (if a bit jealous ). I stuck with AmSt at Brown… Modern Culture and Media sounds interesting though! I didn't look into that program at all. Yeah, best of luck to everyone! I have a feeling this week might bring a lot of news.
verycunning Posted February 18, 2014 Author Posted February 18, 2014 Just got my official acceptance from Penn State! Have already decided to go elsewhere, but it was nice.
hj2012 Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 According to the results search, there's been an acceptance for UT Austin American Studies posted and a rejection posted as well...however, my application status still says "Under Review." Does anyone know if UT Austin has already sent out all acceptances? Should I lose hope?

Does anyone know if UT Austin has already sent out all acceptances? Should I lose hope? Got a rejection from them last week. Didn't post it though. I don't really see any kind of pattern there so you should still hope for the best! Has anyone heard anything from William&Mary btw? I think they originally said they would make their decisions in early March. Edited February 19, 2014 by SaschaA

I think they originally said they would make their decisions in early March. Sorry to hear about the rejection, Sascha. Glad to know you have other acceptances to fall back on! I have some IRL friends who applied to William & Mary American Studies, and they haven't heard anything yet. I don't think any decisions have gone out yet, and I wouldn't expect to hear anything for another week at least. Edited February 19, 2014 by hj2012
eka Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Anyone going to the recruitment day at University of Minnesota?
beekay Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Anyone going to the recruitment day at University of Minnesota? I am! Will you be there too?
eka Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Yes! Just got my flight itinerary settled. Love the program, but hadn't ever pictured myself living in Minnesota so excited to visit.
karmak Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Anyone want to claim the UMD acceptance posted on the results page? (I haven't posted mine.) If so, are you going to the event for accepted students?
beekay Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Yes! Just got my flight itinerary settled. Love the program, but hadn't ever pictured myself living in Minnesota so excited to visit. Awesome! Looking forward to meeting you then. I've been to the Twin Cities a couple times and I really like it.
mxaveryeverhart Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 i guess there's still no word on NYU then? anyone got any info?
beekay Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 i guess there's still no word on NYU then? anyone got any info? I haven't heard anything about NYU :/ and I've kind of lost hope on that one. Anyone else? The results page has been surprisingly quiet this year, no interviews posted or anything. Has anyone gotten any word on Brown?

Funding is very limited (in case you didn't know). It might be an unfortunate deterrent in my case. hj2012 1
