Maleficent999 Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 I thought I would go ahead and get this started...post away you lucky ducks. Sol_Barber 1
Sol_Barber Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 You have quite a positive attitude - I would have added: and Rejections SocGirl2013 1
Maleficent999 Posted January 17, 2014 Author Posted January 17, 2014 I feel like people might be less likely to step out from behind the anonymity of the results search if they get rejections but there could certainly be a thread for that or that can be posted here if people feel like it. And while rejections will inevitably happen, I'm not a fan of dwelling on it SocGirl2013 1
SocGirl2013 Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 I am sure I will be one of the people diligently using this thread to report rejections. In other news I am so tipsy. Hi guys. Sol_Barber 1
Sol_Barber Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 So far we have: No Rejections Interviews at University of Virginia, Rice University and Notre Dame (all claimed) Acceptances at University of California Davis (4, some claimed) and University of California Los Angeles (1, early, not yet claimed) Just to keep this thread updated. Maleficent999 and socialequity 2
Soc2288 Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Peace, No rejections so far. Accepted to Ohio State and interview at Emory. Super excited, and definitely sigh of relief! 2 down, 6 more to go... Sol_Barber 1
Sol_Barber Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Congrats! Must be a relief. And thanks for posting - did you add to the results?
Maleficent999 Posted January 22, 2014 Author Posted January 22, 2014 Come on people, claim those successes!
Sociology89 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I'll claim two interviews: UVa and Notre Dame. Anyone else going to "visit weekend" at ND?
SheWrote Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I'll claim two interviews: UVa and Notre Dame. Anyone else going to "visit weekend" at ND? I'll be there. Acceptance: UC Davis Interviews: Rice and Notre Dame
Sol_Barber Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Anyone claiming the Rutgers Interview? Seems pretty early, or? Ahh, guess we will know soon
rync Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) I got a lovely e-mail yesterday accepting me into the University of Virginia! So I can claim the most recent one I honestly didn't think I would hear back so soon, and was expecting more of the February 1 notification. Hoping for some more good news!

SocGirl2013 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Anyone claiming the Rutgers Interview? Seems pretty early, or? Ahh, guess we will know soon It wasn't me but I applied to Rutgers and now I am hyperventilating. I wonder if they conduct interviews for ALL candidates. ugh.
Sol_Barber Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Taken from recent years - if you don´t get an interview you are rejected. And the interviews seem to be send out all at once. Or, anyone got different information?
SocGirl2013 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) Lol I'll take that to mean game over for me and Rutgers. Now I shall pretend I never applied there and move on to the next one. Le sigh. Congrats to everyone who got an interview! New Brunswick is nice! Edited January 22, 2014 by SocGirl2013
Sol_Barber Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) nah that wasn´t what I meant. It was just one post and, so far, no one claimed it (would be quite early) - so it it not real yet Edited January 22, 2014 by Sol_Barber
cultsoc Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) Programs with pre-acceptance interviews usually notify all their invitees at the same time. If you didn't receive an invite, you're most likely not on their immediate shortlist of applicants. However, there is a small possibility that you have been waitlisted, and will be notified if one of the invitees declines his/her interview spot. It is best to wait for further notice. You're not rejected until you get that official rejection e-mail. Edited January 22, 2014 by cultsoc amlobo, Sol_Barber and faculty 3
laminated Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 i will claim the interview at rutgers. it was from a poi and it seemed rather unofficial.... he said that they had narrowed down the applicants to a short list and were in the process of deciding admissions and funding. no where in the email did he explain why he wanted to interview me other than to make sure i was still interested in the program. MEANING-- don't be worried if you haven't received anything. I think this email was his independent move. ALSO i should say, from looking at previous years on this site, rutgers seems to have accepted students they didn't interview. or at least, the number of students reporting interviews does not match the number of students accepted. so don't lose hope! i'm sure trying not to. my interveiw with him is scheduled for this sunday so presumably rutgers will be sending out their decisions as early as next week. .....i also got an interview from nd so see some of you cyber-things there.
laminated Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 also... i'm sorry (if) i made anyone worry. i surely didn't mean to... especially since i think worrying for rutgers is premature
gretagarbo Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Programs with pre-acceptance interviews usually notify all their invitees at the same time.

You're not rejected until you get that official rejection e-mail. I am certain that that's not always the case. Even if there is a short-list of applicants selected for the interview, some departments distribute the interviewees to adcomm members and adcomm members do not always e-mail you or call you on the same day, it depends on their schedule.
SocGirl2013 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 also... i'm sorry (if) i made anyone worry. i surely didn't mean to... especially since i think worrying for rutgers is premature Hey, first of all CONGRATS! And Thanks so much for clarifying your process! You didn't make us worried at all, we were always anxious, this gave me something particular (aka Rutgers) to direct my anxiety towards lol. May I ask about your stats/background?
cultsoc Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) Please read my post carefully before you go on misleading the other members on here. I said, "programs with pre-acceptance interviews usually notify all their invitees at the same time." This is for programs that throw all-expenses-paid interview weekends, where they fly their invitees in, wine and dine them, and get a feel for who they are and what they are like. I didn't mention anything about random professors making phone calls or doing skype "interviews" on their own. I take it you are a current graduate student at such a program with experience organizing these events? Edited January 22, 2014 by cultsoc

I take it you are a current graduate student at such a program with experience organizing these events? ok now I get it. I am sorry I didn't get what you meant. I didn't know that there were 'all-expenses-paid interview weekends' anyway, I just assumed you were talking about phone-interviews. I am not a graduate student, nor an authority on the admission procedures. I just wanted to share what I know, as all the forum followers, no need to fuss about that.
