Acceptance Thread

[Weltgeist]

Random question: A year ago today, Notre Dame started sending out acceptances. Anyone have any guesses when they might send them out this year? I know they were two weeks late with their first wave of rejections but curiosity is getting the best of me. 

Yeah ND is killing me. I hadn't got any of that wave of rejections so I (probably unrealistically) have high hopes and I keep expecting it any day now

Well, the professor that I mentioned (but will not name) did a Master's at Loyola and went on to get his PhD from Notre Dame. He also mentioned that a few MA students with whom he was acquainted went on to receive PhDs from Loyola. Another went to Syracuse, so on and etc. He reports that few had any problems sling-shotting into decent PhD programs.

 

Thanks very much. That's reassuring to hear.

"Probable: All of them." lol. Have hope! A number of the schools you've applied to haven't yet released any notifications of any kind.

Looks like someone just posted an acceptance to WashU's PNP program on the results page.

Idk, I think I'd take the pain of a certain rejection over the pain of a suspended uncertainty caught in a horrible oscillation between hope and despair but I'm weird. I wish you the best nonetheless : )

I was accepted to PNP at WashU.

Dear Indiana, Penn, and Notre Dame,

 

Please release acceptances and wait list notifications.

 

Thank you,

 

Interested applicant

Nice!! Congrats.

Anyone else apply to Pitt HPS and has not gotten a rejection notice in the mail?

[philosophe]

Any thoughts on Indiana for those of us who haven't heard? 

 

I know that I should really just patiently await my likely rejection, but part of me wants to contact them to check my status.

Hopefully this very quiet morning is not setting the trend for the day...

 Agreed! I can't believe the silence this week!!

Just got admitted to Penn State!!

Heads up on Indiana: I did email the administrator out of curiosity.

 

She said they had about 100 applications and 40 rejections were sent out (no word on the number of accepts)... so if you haven't received anything you're still being considered. Nice to have some positive news!

I had applied to Brown, and still haven't heard anything from them. I know they sent out some rejections, but I did not get one. Should I assume that it is a rejection that is simply late trickling in?

 

Also, I've seen posts about Penn State, but any about UPenn?

No word yet from UPenn.  Penn is quite late at this point given its early application deadline and history of sending acceptances in early February.

According to Ianfaircloud's blog, Brown has not released rejections.  The results page has one rejection, but I wouldn't consider it verified until I saw more...

Thanks for the info! Yeah I was sure they would've started by now...

I hate anything that makes this process drag on longer!

I haven't commented on here yet because I'm largely applying for theology programs, but I did apply to two philosophy programs. I saw that so far there has been one rejection and two waitlists from Kentucky. I haven't heard anything from them yet. Do any of the people who received waitlist notifications know anything about how Kentucky notifies people? I'm trying to figure out if I've been unofficially waitlisted under the people who received official notifications or if they're just procrastinating in sending out rejections.
