DHumeDominates Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Has anyone here applied to Michigan? There's a couple of acceptances up, but they seem more personalized. Any chance they've all been sent out? Um, I hope not. ... I applied there. ta_pros_to_telos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance they've all been sent out? I applied there as well. It is one of my top picks (obviously) but also a great fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohhemingway Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 There's also a few there for Madison -- also seem pretty personalized -- and I wonder if we should expect any more of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnothi_Seauton Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Thanks for this. That makes a lot of sense. I appreciate you laying out your thought process, it's nice to get some additional perspectives on the process. No problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philstudent1991 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 From what I remember from last year, Arizona has a short and an extended wait list. They only initially email people on the short list, but do not reject people on the extended list just in case. However, it's extremely unlikely that those on the extended list will be made an offer: I'd treat it as a rejection for practical purposes, and be very pleasantly surprised if it turns out otherwise. Ok, but if this were the case wouldn't there still be some rejections? The people that didn't make any list at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerpetualApplicant No More Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Ok, but if this were the case wouldn't there still be some rejections? The people that didn't make any list at all? Sadly no. If I recall correctly from last year, they reject some people in their first round internally, and those who make the second round but are not offered a spot or a position at the top of the wait list comprise the extended wait list. But they do not send out rejections to either the internally rejected or the extended wait-list until after the class is full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianfaircloud Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 It looks so damn beautiful! (It would look nicer on a horizontal layout, but the blog has a different structure, so the vertical layout is understandable). Thanks. I agree, regarding the horizontal layout. I'm thinking about reformatting the entire blog. The current structure is limiting. This is immensely helpful. (One correction: at least some Arizona wait lists have gone out.) I'm surprised that so few rejections have gone out at this point. You and ianfaircloud deserve Olympic gold! ... K, that was cheesy and unforgiveable. Thanks, and congratulations on the Arizona wait-list. I'm very jealous. DHumeDominates 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianfaircloud Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Thanks, and congratulations on the Arizona wait-list. I'm very jealous. Replying to myself: I know one person who will almost certainly be passing on an offer to Arizona, on account of a better offer (for this person, at least) at a top-ten. So that should free up a spot. I probably shouldn't say anything about this person's AOIs. DHumeDominates and Vardan_Mkhitaryan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ta_pros_to_telos Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I think getting into Chicago's MAPH would soften the rejection a bit for me, but I appreciate that others don't feel the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elipo Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Does anyone want to claim the second NYU acceptance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexandermeehan Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I can claim that, elipo. I applied to eleven schools, and NYU is the first one I've heard back from. I am still in disbelief. I really had no expectations, as my writing sample was a bit.... unorthodox? Best of luck, everyone! Vardan_Mkhitaryan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StillWaiting13 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I just got an unofficial acceptance into UIC today by phone. Pretty excited. Im also scheduled for an skype interview for Penn state this week. Last year, I got nothing, this year I feel I won the lottery.
