TheVineyard Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Anyone else get that email from UC Davis to check application, but no decision was at the link? All they told me is that they apparently don't have my transcript, but then they said that if my transcript was sent directly to the department (which mine was) then it wouldn't show up. Apparently the political science people (including my girlfriend) got accepted through the email... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be an incredible turnaround if they announced decisions already. Their deadline was the 15th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be an incredible turnaround if they announced decisions already. Their deadline was the 15th. Cincin already announced decisions and they had the same deadline, so I don't think that'd be too surprising. I applied there, but haven't received any email. Try checking the status of your application through the online thingy, see what it says. Also, let me know if they say they got your transcript =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bar_scene_gambler Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 Well, just received a rejection from the Fulbright Committee, so it looks like I won't be going to Warwick. Definitely hoping to hear some good news in the next few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canis Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 If you're a US citizen, Warwick is eligible for US Federal Aid. You could take out US graduate student loans to complete the MA there if you wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I'll be accepted elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a bit down about it, because it sort of throws me back into the uncertainty of applications. Hopefully one of these other places will accept me.

Cottagecheeseman Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Anyone else freaking out about the radio silence from UNC? Don't. When I talked to Dr. Paul once when she came to give a talk she said that nearly all their first picks ended up not coming to UNC, because they all got in at comparatively better schools, and they always needed a fairly substantive waiting list. So don't worry too much until you get officially rejected! MattDest, philstudent1991, philosophe and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianfaircloud Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Don't. When I talked to Dr. Paul once when she came to give a talk she said that nearly all their first picks ended up not coming to UNC, because they all got in at comparatively better schools, and they always needed a fairly substantive waiting list. So don't worry too much until you get officially rejected! This is so true. Thanks for this. I'm keeping in mind as we go that many schools have to admit, over the course of weeks, three times as many as they hope to enroll. I have personal experience with a particular department that has admitted roughly FOUR times what they aimed to enroll. So that means very long wait-lists.

kant_get_in Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Congrats to those who received the UNC and Duke acceptances. It seems a few (or is it just one) of our regulars were among the Duke acceptances. Were any of you among the UNC acceptances? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems a few (or is it just one) of our regulars were among the Duke acceptances. Were any of you among the UNC acceptances? I'm not among them, but the person who I know who is among them is highly qualified (as one would imagine). I mention this for two reasons. One, I won't be surprised if this person is admitted to other programs of similar quality, leaving open a spot to someone else. Two, I think it's nice to know that (at least some of) those who are admitted ahead of us are at least very well qualified. Two years ago I remember reading acceptances on the 'results' pages with incoherent comments. (E.g. One person reported that he/she was "absolutely enthralled" at the acceptance.) That was disappointing to me. kant_get_in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeMyCoffeeBlack Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 (E.g. One person reported that he/she was "absolutely enthralled" at the acceptance.) Forget for a second that they probably wanted to say absolutely thrilled, and think about what it could mean if they had intended "enthralled." It's actually kind of funny.
