Monadology Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) New School hopefuls, How much credibility is there to all the stories about New School never offering admits full funding packages, students taking 8+ years to finish, etc..? I've heard all these rumors before, just want to know how true any of them are. Are all there PhD. students fully-funded? Or is it the kind of place people pay some for a PhD. in the hopes that the 'New School' name will land them a sweet gig (and a well paid one) when all is said and done? Wow, I hadn't heard some of those stories. I have no idea (though I don't know if I'd qualify as a 'hopeful'). I'm hoping that I'll be able to get in touch with some grad students to ask about those things now, though.

DHumeDominates Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) No reason to be depressed. You got in at HFU! Indeed. But I would still like to know. On the department's FAQ page, I found "When will I be notified if I have been admitted? No later than March 15th." Note a crucial ambiguity. The question might be rephrased like so: "If I have been admitted, when is it that I will be notified of that fact?" But it might mean something different, e.g., "When will I learn the status of my application, whether the status is admitted, wait listed, or rejected?" In other words, perhaps only admitted/wait listed people will hear by March 15th. EDIT: Sorry, Monadology. I deleted it, basically because of what you said.

There's no ambiguity, but there's no guarantee that you'll receive notification by 3/15 if you've not been admitted. But, assuming the quoted text is truthful, if you're not notified by 3/15, you can infer that you're not admitted--so either rejected or on a wait list. Perhaps that's something.

Right, essentially that's what I meant. Those rejected might hear by 3/15; they might not. If one hasn't heard by 3/15, one's not been admitted, at least in the first round of admissions. These next couple days shouldn't be too stressful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamStone Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Does anyone have any idea when UW-Milwaukee and Brandeis will send out notifications for their MA programs? Also, am I correct in thinking that Western Michigan has only sent out their first round of acceptances or are those all out? Edit_Undo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dialectica Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Does anyone have any idea when UW-Milwaukee and Brandeis will send out notifications for their MA programs? Also, am I correct in thinking that Western Michigan has only sent out their first round of acceptances or are those all out? Milwaukee usually sends out notifications right around this time; I would be surprised if they didn't send out any by saturday. I haven't checked up on Brandeis. Given past years, it is very likely that WMU has only sent out first round. But I'm not certain about this. stressedout 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
