screencheck Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Some universities are really taking their time! CUNY's application deadline was December 1st, and it was also the most expensive one ($125). I haven't heard anything yet. yea, that was like double all my other applications. not cool CUNY. EVERYTHING is more expensive in New York, including grad apps apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wisconsin & Indiana both had December 1st deadlines and they've been totally silent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylarking Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Wisconsin I'm super surprised about. My friend is there in a different department and they got back to him later last year, but I don't remember it being this late. He's surprised it's taking this long, too.

strudelle Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 When I met with my POI in early January, she said they make decisions mid-Feb. So any time now we should hear something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forsaken in LA Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Frustrated with UofChicago. I can assume I did not get accepted because I had no interview, and no email yet, but I would have at least liked a rejection letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish universities were more consistent sending out decisions. I also wish they wouldn't take so long, so that people have time to decide before the deadline to be able to give the opportunity to others, and so that people have time to visit and whatnot. *Sigh* Forsaken in LA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humankoko Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Was accepted via email to the UCLA Biological Anthropology program, on Friday, to work with Dan Fessler. I am coming from psychology and would really welcome anyone who knows about the program to share input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when they have such early deadlines for applying. I had a dream that I got rather unceremoniously rejected from UCSD, so I'm expecting that letter to come today or tomorrow. They seem to send out acceptances and rejections at or around the same time. No change in my status on the website yet, though. I'm also still surprised I haven't heard anything from Toronto. It's been long enough for a snail mail letter to have gotten to my house, though this is probably another instance of me speaking too soon and the letter or email will arrive in the coming days.

Dan Fessler, despite having the most difficult class I've taken in anthro at UCLA, is an amazing professor. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can assume I did not get accepted because I had no interview, and no email yet, but I would have at least liked a rejection letter. I feel similarly. I am guessing that I didn't get accepted due to none of the acceptances on the results board being mine. Given that not every applicant is on thegradcafe.com, I would imagine that--from the amount of acceptnaces--all yes answers have gone out, and the nos will be soon to follow. I understand the sort of ritualistic nature of this whole process, but it would be really nice to have some certainty, at least as far as a date of notice, or consistency in releasing both positive and negative notices. Oh well. I am starting to think that I really underestimated this whole process! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katekal29 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I am so frustrated! I just want to know!! All of my apps have been in since November, and I haven't heard a peep from any of my schools. I agree with everything. This is soooo stressful!

FaultyPowers Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 ...do you ever get the feeling the Ad Comms lurk on hear, see us talking about "well, according to last year we should start hearing tomorrow!", and just deliberately screw with the timeline to put us in our place? katekal29 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FaultyPowers Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Or, let's throw in a random acceptance and watch everyone lose their minds!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylarking Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I was reading in a different thread that professors do in fact lurk on here (some post) and watch what people say and all that. So your fears aren't actually that unfounded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strudelle Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I was actually really scared that someone from the schools I applied to was going to see me freaking out on here and not accept me. I've been kind of nervous to say where I've been accepted because I thought they would decide not to take me because of my unprofessional online behavior.

sarab Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Well, let's just hope they understand that we need an outlet during these stressful times, and this is an online community where we can express ourselves and find support. We're excited and anxious about our future! Purehoney 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
