Zhicao Fang Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 I would claim an admission from Johns Hopkins University, and a rejection from Vanderbilt. avatarmomo and sociologo 2
breaks0 Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 That's really awesome Zhicao, I'm 0-3 on apps (including Berkeley and Madison like you, though already haven't gotten into Irvine) so far and have 5 pending decisions I'm waiting on and Hopkins is tops of my list. I don't wanna pour cold water on what's supposed to be a happy thread, but the wait is torture and rejections aren't much better, since that's the end of hope, at least for this year. Ugh. Good luck all.
LeoBixby Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 I just found out from my POI, unofficially, at Binghamton University that I will be accepted and an offer is forthcoming. Huge relief, as this is the first news I've gotten from any of my applications. sociologo, SocGirl2013 and Sol_Barber 3

LeoBixby Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 CONGRATS!!! Any info on when they are sending out official news? Thanks! No word on the official timeline yet, but I'm sure it will be very soon. I have a pretty nice relationship with my POI, so I was lucky to get a same day call. They literally met today. Sol_Barber 1
HateTheWaitingGame Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Nop. Anyone heard anything from harvard? I have been waiting on this one too... let me know if you hear anything!
feministfoodie Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Anyone want to claim the one Portland State acceptance?

Good luck all. Did Irvine send you a rejection?
Blackbloc Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Anyone want to claim the one Portland State acceptance? This is me! I emailed them and after two days they replied with an attached .pdf of my acceptance letter. I have until March to accept the offer. No funding though.
pinoysoc Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Claiming a McGill rejection. 0 out for 4. Looks like I won't be going to grad anytime soon.
gingin6789 Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Sunday rejection from UMD. I understand it wasn't the best fit. Just a relief to know. Stats in signature!
PeterRY Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Sunday rejection from UMD. I understand it wasn't the best fit. Just a relief to know. Stats in signature! How did you find out about your status? ASF form?
SocGirl2013 Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Fully funded at Binghamton. Can't believe I have three acceptances! avatarmomo, Sol_Barber, asq and 4 others 7
Maleficent999 Posted February 23, 2014 Author Posted February 23, 2014 Fully funded at Binghamton. Can't believe I have three acceptances! Now the real trouble begins: HOW WILL YOU CHOOSE!? SocGirl2013 1
SocGirl2013 Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 My decision entirely depends on CUNY and their money lol.
LeoBixby Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 I claim the second acceptance from Binghamton. Found out officially this morning, and nominated for a really nice fellowship! CONGRATS to SocGirl too!!!! sociologo, SocGirl2013, PeterRY and 1 other 4
gingin6789 Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Congratulations to all the acceptances this weekend! *offers you all some cookies and doughnuts, because who doesn't love doughnut Sunday??* pinoysoc and PeterRY 2
gingin6789 Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Claiming a McGill rejection. 0 out for 4. Looks like I won't be going to grad anytime soon. Pinoy, I'm so sorry =( Did you apply to 4 total, then? Or are you still waiting? I only ask because some people say "I'm 0 for 3," but they just mean the 3 they've heard from so far. pinoysoc 1
breaks0 Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Did Irvine send you a rejection? Maleficient, not officially but I corresponded with the grad director and the implication is one will be coming when they send decisions. I'm an anomalous case, not in a good way, w/all my apps, will be pleasantly shocked if I get in anywhere.
pinoysoc Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Pinoy, I'm so sorry =( Did you apply to 4 total, then? Or are you still waiting? I only ask because some people say "I'm 0 for 3," but they just mean the 3 they've heard from so far. gingin, i applied to a total of 7 programs. i got 4 rejections so far. it'll be 5 once UToronto sends it cause I applied to the wrong program. Then I'm under the assumption that Cornell's DevSoc program is really a LONG SHOT since UMD was my safety. Sam Houston's online Soc program is a might. Thanks though! I just want closure with all these schools because I want to move on with my life. If passion were a criteria, I have a good chance. But it isn't T_T So it's a big MAYBE for Fall 2015. Not so sure what's going to happen in the next few months...

Good luck all. I sure understand your feeling. This is my second application for PhD program already and I just wanna say good luck and keep holding on everyone!
