MistressOfTheDew Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 It's a definite acceptance. Got an email from the department and from the GS. They even schedule a campus visit already. Good luck to you guys!
rosestark Posted January 19, 2014 Author Posted January 19, 2014 Congrats on the good news to those of you with interviews & acceptances! It is exciting to begin hearing things! I've got a Skype interview scheduled with one school Tuesday which I'm considering great news since it means I made the first cut. Another school emailed to say they will contact applicants for interviews in the language of study in late Jan/early Feb, so I hope to hear from them soon too. I haven't heard from the other schools I'm applying to, but some of their deadlines haven't even passed, so I'm not worried. Yet. Just worried about my interview! I want it to go so well! I have definitely never interviewed in French...or on Skype.
carrot_flowers Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Has anyone heard anything from Stanford yet? When I submitted my app they said something about flying people out for visits and notifying them by mid-January about this. I haven't heard anything yet, so I'm guessing Stanford might not happen. Welp.
monkeybusiness13 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I am waiting on Stanford too and beginning to think I was crazy to even think I had the smallest chance. Maybe they're just being really really slow this year (we can still hope?)
SelimPhD Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I am waiting on Stanford too and beginning to think I was crazy to even think I had the smallest chance. Maybe they're just being really really slow this year (we can still hope?) Does anyone know about Yale's process? Do they usually schedule interviews or just notify people by e-mail? The wait has been unbearable. I haven't heard a words from the schools I applied to, except for Washington University in St. Louis (DGS and POI -same person- e-mailed me thanking me for applying and saying decisions will be sent out by end of Jan. The e-mail was [sort of] personalized. Not sure if that means anything). Someone posted they were invited to the interview weekend at Emory. Haven't heard anything from them yet so I don't think I made the final cut. Also, I need some advice. My POI at Yale (he's the one who responded to my initial inquiry back in September and we exchanged multiple e-mails) is on LEAVE OF ABSENCE this semester. This worries me A LOT! Do you guys think he'll be reviewing applications? I e-mailed him in December asking this very questions - he never replied. Any thoughts?
france2010 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Just to answer your question about Yale—they tend to conduct Skype interviews.
SelimPhD Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) Just to answer your question about Yale—they tend to conduct Skype interviews. Thanks for your answer---Do you know anyone applying this season who has heard from them? Edited January 22, 2014 by SelimPhD
carrot_flowers Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Received an email from Stanford that said invites for campus visits were sent out last week. I didn't receive one, so I don't know if I should just take this as a gentle early rejection or not.
mattskiba Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Has anyone heard anything from UC Davis or Indiana? I know it's still early, but I get more nervous by the day!
PpHhDd Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Received an email from Stanford that said invites for campus visits were sent out last week. I didn't receive one, so I don't know if I should just take this as a gentle early rejection or not. That's weird of them to send you this kind of email, universities usually don't say anything negative until April, are you sure it's not an invite?! Has anyone heard anything from Princeton? I know they usually send their interview invites around this time, I'm starting to feel pessimistic!
france2010 Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Don't feel pessimistic about Princeton, I don't think anything has been sent out yet!
carrot_flowers Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 PpHhDd - it definitely wasn't an invite. Odd email indeed...
monkeybusiness13 Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 PpHhDd - it definitely wasn't an invite. Odd email indeed... Same for me! They could have at least sent a nicer rejection email!
SelimPhD Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I am under the impression (i.e. I really want to believe) that a lot of schools are being extremely slow with invites this year. I've been looking at the results page and a lot of them usually send invites by Jan 20 -- I haven't heard anything from UPenn, WashU, or Yale. I haven't been invited to an interview at Emory. They said they weren't able to put me in the "first round". I think it was a gentle rejection, though. I would be lying if I say I'm not a little déprimé!
Bellifontaine Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Just heard from Princeton. They asked me to do a Skype interview this week. It seems they want to learn more about my research interest in the manner in which I see myself fitting into the program. Anyone else heard from them? Anyone been invited to Princeton for an on-campus interview yet? I am new to the forum so…bonne chance à tous et à toutes! Bellifontaine and Nikel 1 1
Bellifontaine Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Also, it seems that I have just given myself a -1 reputation…whatever that means 0ops! Bellifontaine and Nikel 2
rosestark Posted January 30, 2014 Author Posted January 30, 2014 I heard back this from UTexas (after a skype interview a week ago) with an admittance and fellowship - YES!! In other news, UGA has sent invites for telephone interviews to be held, but nothing at all yet from Vanderbilt, or from Tulane or UF (but the app deadlines haven't yet passed for those two); so that's my report. Hope you all continue to hear back & get good news! Seems like it's starting to heat up.
carrot_flowers Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Congrats on UT! Austin is such a vibrant city.
Bellifontaine Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Rosestark, félicitations! What an amazing feeling it must be to have been accepted and funded! Anyone with any information on NYU? Has anyone heard from them yet? Doigts croisés pour tout le monde!
mattskiba Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 My report: Received an e-mail rejection from UT on 1/15. Heard from UC Davis by phone yesterday and got accepted with funding. I'm still waiting to hear from Indiana.
Bellifontaine Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Hey all, Just an update: On the heels of a Skype interview with Princeton, they emailed with an invitation to an on campus visit, February 17th-19th. Super excited!
Les-Souliers-Rouges Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 I heard back this from UTexas (after a skype interview a week ago) with an admittance and fellowship - YES!!

Hope you all continue to hear back & get good news! Seems like it's starting to heat up. Salut Rosetrak, At Austin, did you apply for French linguistics or French Studies?
rosestark Posted February 1, 2014 Author Posted February 1, 2014 Thanks carrot_flowers & Bellifontaine! It is an unbelievable feeling to have what I wanted materialize. Salut Rosetrak, At Austin, did you apply for French linguistics or French Studies? French Studies.
