emmaatquoins Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Welp, there's my Columbia rejection. Not a surprise, but given it was my first choice and I only have one university left to hear from, I'm not holding out much hope of ever getting my PhD now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasod Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Anyone else out there still waiting to hear from Rice? There is one acceptance up on the board, but I haven't heard anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a surprise, but given it was my first choice and I only have one university left to hear from, I'm not holding out much hope of ever getting my PhD now Keep your head up! There's still a chance, but even if you don't get in, there's so much other stuff to do in life. Just curious, where do you see your status on the Columbia application? I'm expecting to be rejected as well, but I can't find where I would find that information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They emailed me first to tell me to check the website, and on there there was a "Status Update" in a yellow box which I clicked on, took me to the letter.

helpmegradcafe Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Well I for one cannot wait for April 15th. I knew I was setting myself up for a lot of rejection letters by applying to 15 odd schools, but damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I thought that I was crazy for applying to 11. ; ) That was a full time job, wasn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LorenzoilMagnifico Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Agreed. I applied to 11 as well, and I think I made everyone's lives around me hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomulusAugustulus Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Anyone else get nothing from UT Austin? Saw the results come in so I checked the website, but its the same old "in review." I guess I shouldn't complain since I haven't been rejected yet, but I also haven't been accepted... blah, just being impatient! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikaLi Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Hi guys, and best of luck to you all! I'm kinda new at this whole application process and I was wondering… I see that some of you already received your acceptance notice from the same programs I have applied to. I haven't heard anything yet … does it mean I should expect a rejection? do people get their acceptance letter at the same time more or less?

Some programs try to announce their acceptees around the same time, but there are programs that spread their decisions over time. If you haven't heard back yet, it could also mean that you were wait listed. Hope you'll get some good news soon! Best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephd016 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 This whole phd business is so complicated. I've been rejected from 4/7 programs I applied to thus far. Anyone know if they just aren't taking people without a masters degree? Not that any of this matters now because I just received a job as business manager of a prominent gallery in my city. Next time I apply they can't say no! Haha I might not even do art history after this. The whole system is confusing...can't get a job without a grad degree...can't get in to a grad program without real world experience... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
febreze Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Delaware first round will come by the end of this week, just as an FYI/PSA. Thanks. Good to know. Speaking of Delaware, does anyone know how their program is perceived or how respected it is? I applied to their program and I was wondering how a masters from there would (assuming I do well) assist me in getting into a good phd program later on. Thank you.

Swagato Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 My parents in law enthusiastically helped us move into our apartment! In fact, we got things done over one weekend and it would've taken us significantly longer on our own. Just have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borden Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I'm moving into student housing and they'll want to meet all my professors. My mother wanted to come on the interview if I'd had an in-person one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annakarina Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Does anyone know what's going on with Stanford? Someone had posted a while back that they planned to notify by Feb. 1, but it seems strange to me that there are no interviews or acceptances on the results board.

festina lente Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Anyone else heard back from Boston, good or bad? The email I got in January acknowledging the receipt of my app materials said they would contact applicants mks-February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
