Ramya Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 No, not applying to Yale. Sorry. But normally Yale decisions are out end Feb- early March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnreggae Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Thanks Coba, I'm hoping that I'll be able to really increase my CV with my MA work. It's looking like this will be my track as well. So far I have 6 rejections (counting Chicago, which I am assuming I was rejected from) out of my 9 applications. I received a rejection from Oregon today, but am taking it well, and in stride. Sorry to hear about everyone's rejections: I truly sympathize. Also, congratulations to everyone's acceptances--you guys rock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forsaken in LA Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) denied admission to the PhD program at Chicago, but offered the MA in Latin American Studies at half tuition. Im excited now!! It will be a battle between Georgetown and Chicago, but I really want to work with a prof. at Chicago, so that will probably tilt the scale, especially if I get no FA from Georgetown.

Forsaken in LA Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Thanks everyone! I already handed out my reputation points today, but I'll get you all later!

It will be a battle between Georgetown and Chicago, but I really want to work with a prof. at Chicago, so that will probably tilt the scale, especially if I get no FA from Georgetown. CONGRATS! The Chicago MA is pretty much a golden ticket in the right hands, so that is wonderful news. Unrelated, but heard back from my POI at Columbia and they politely said the process is ongoing and they couldn't say more than that. In my mind that set off acceptance fantasies, but I'll take what I can get at this point. Hope that helps anyone else waiting on Columbia! katekal29 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoforonespecial Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 It is really annoying that Chicago won't just send out rejections to people who already have Master's degrees and are qualified but just not "good enough" for Chicago -- if you know we're not interested in MAPSS why not just say, hey! we're just not interested in you!? leave it at that! I find it very disrespectful. I think it has a lot to do with the aura of superiority cultivated in academia. Anyway, I'm ranting. Is anyone else going to UCLA? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khannnn Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Admitted to UCR with a very good funding offer! I've now heard back from all my schools- admitted and funded to 4 of 5. Good luck to all still waiting! Even from my end, this process seems anarchic. I have many many friends with more qualifications than I who haven't gotten in anywhere yet... I'm baffled. pears and DigDeep(inactive) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katekal29 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Thanks! That is actually very helpful. There were 2 unclaimed acceptances on the results board last week, so now we know they are probably real. oh well. I hear you Nowaynohow... I'm just ready to at the very least get a rejection letter so they put me out of my wondering misery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So first...what does the MAPSS stand for? i see that alot of people talk about this program. I applied to the NELC program and it is the same story there. If i dont have a MA they send me there...but i already have a MA in archaeology- so does that mean i am rejected? They cant just send everyone they reject to the MAPSS program Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alterman Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 A while ago there was a post (I seem to remember) about NYU already notified those accepted. Yesterday there was a wave of rejections reported on the board, yet I didn't get mine (which I expected due to that post). Anybody else still on hold at NYU? Can anybody confirm that old post about NYU? The chances are so slim, but after five rejections I dare hope that the lack of rejection letter might just mean something good...
