sarab Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 UCSD is making decisions tomorrow and will probably be sending them out about a week later. bellabean 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pears Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Thanks! I knew they were meeting but it's nice to have a time frame FWIW, regarding time frames: my department is currently processing the "graduate self assessments," which are effectively the means for determining who gets funded TAships, scholarships, and fellowships; selections are made separately between subfields and tracks. Incoming students may apply for funding consideration if they wish, and their application materials are used as a proxy for the statement of "please fund me" purpose. Last year, I received my acceptance on 2/20. This year, the forms were due 1/31, and I heard that funding decisions take — you guessed it — "2 or 3 weeks." In other words, decisions for incoming students are made in a time frame that suits our funding decisions time frame. Also, for our grad school in general, a lot of applications for competitive, university-wide funding opportunities are due between 2/1 and 2/15. If you're still looking for a time frame for anywhere, you might want to click around the department's site to see if they have any similar application processes for within- or between-department funding or distinctions, and compare any findings to last year's results postings. It might help you get a better sense of what's going on with the higher-ups who are making all of these decisions in the same two or three week span.

danaofdoom Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Someone posted a rejection from University of Pittsburgh. And you all are saying someone got an interview from UCSD. I haven't heard back from either of these schools. I am filled with anxiety right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FaultyPowers Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 At least some Pittsburgh decisions should be coming out now; I just got a rejection! It was the most awkward fit of the bunch so I'm not devastated but it's also the first notification of any kind so...meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOWAYNOHOW Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Rejected from CUNY with a form email. Looks like this season is a wash. I don't need official notifications from the rest of my schools to know what's already written on the wall, so to speak. Looks like I'll be here for next cycle too. Anyone?

novacancy Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Hey guys, sorry to hear about your news. NOWAYNOHOW, I'm depending on CUNY to prevent my Fall 2014 wipe out. No e-mail yet, but I'm archaeology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novacancy Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) For the record, I'm declining SDSU... I weighed the pros and cons, and I can't afford it, especially if I want to continue on to the PhD afterward. Edit: Didn't realize my thoughts weren't completely clarified: basically, all the MA programs I applied to are out of the option at this point. I had some very unfortunate misconceptions about funding opportunities at each, and there is no way I can afford any of the programs. Also, I am not counting on either of my two other PhD programs (aside from CUNY) to pull through. They were huuuge stretches, and I admittedly forced the fit.

danaofdoom Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Literally one minute after my above post about getting rejected from Pitt, I got an email asking for a phone interview from UCSD. They called me about 20 minutes after that. I am on an emotional rollercoaster! novacancy, bellabean and pears 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
