rync Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I applied for a ph.d. Program. Haven't heard much from them and it doesn't look like there are too many results from previous years. Anyone know when we should hear from them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackOfStyle Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I emailed a POI last week and she said they weren't through them all yet. It's a competitive program (naturally) so I'm guessing the lack of results on this site reflects selectivity and may not be so accurate. Best of luck to you.

Benefactor Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) Ha, at least you can get a hold of your POI. All quiet on the western front for me....:/ Edited January 29, 2014 by Benefactor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAda Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) According to the results search, last year notifications for Stanford Ed Ph.D.s went out on 2/1, year before that was around 2/9. So, we're getting close! Edited January 30, 2014 by CAda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benefactor Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Are there so many fewer applicants to DAPS? Seems like most of the responses on the search page were from SHIPS applicants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAda Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I'm a DAPS applicant - not sure about the different cohort sizes. I did notice that a few people reported informal interviews, so my guess is that applicants who are being considered will hear from the POI soon to chat.

I just skimmed through the results and didn't pay close attention, but was this on the results page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAda Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) Yup, the ones I saw were posted on 1/21/13 and 1/24/13 and it looks like they were accepted shortly after. I'm also drawing on anecdotal evidence in that my POI's current grad students say that he would only take a student if he had had an informal interview with them first. But I'm also obsessively digging through/over-analyzing any information I have to get clues as to when we might hear back, so take what I say with a grain of salt. :-) Edited January 30, 2014 by CAda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aenrichus Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I am also a DAPS applicant (it seems we are derailing this SHIPS post) and there is nothing this year from Stanford GSE yet. Waiting... cami15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daffy Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Applied to SHIPS PhD at Stanford and haven't heard back yet as of Friday 2/7/14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higheredphdapp Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 based on the 2012 and 2013 results survey I thought we might be getting decisions today. The waiting is rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stata Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Yeah, I am waiting to hear from SHIPS Phd as well. Did anyone else apply to Columbia Econ and Education PhD or Northwestern Human Dev. & Social Policy PhD? These three are my top choices, but quite nervous. Lets hope we all get into our choices!

Aenrichus Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Looks like all of the rejections, mine included, came out today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girlbat Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Looks like all of the rejections, mine included, came out today. Same. And I got the "considered for the Master's program" comment which opens up so many questions about acceptance rates and funding (my degree is humanities, so I might consider the MA).

Aenrichus Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I have already gotten my MA from Columbia, so I do not think I need another in the same field from Stanford. Unfortunate news, but they were not the best fit for my research interests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPill Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Same. And I got the "considered for the Master's program" comment which opens up so many questions about acceptance rates and funding (my degree is humanities, so I might consider the MA). You applied for SHIPS PhD and got a rejection with a "considered for the Master's program" option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higheredphdapp Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I also got run down by the ships rejection train. being considered for the master's. "Although the admissions committee was not able to recommend you for admission to the doctoral program at this time, I am pleased to tell you that you are being considered for our master's program in Policy, Organization and Leadership Studies."

rync Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 It's so funny because I emailed admissions in order to find out the status and a few hours later, I got the rejection e-mail. Well, congrats to those who got in (although I don't think many are on gradcafe). I went out on a limb applying since I knew that most doctorate programs for education accept people with experience in higher ed. Looks like I'll be getting a Ph.D. in sociology instead!

JackOfStyle Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I got the exact same letter from SHIPS, rejection with the Masters offer. Looks like they must send all or quite a few of their applicants to masters land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girlbat Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 You applied for SHIPS PhD and got a rejection with a "considered for the Master's program" option? Yup. On the application, I said I would be willing. Got the same message as HigherEdPhDApp. The MA is full-time for a year and there are probably SO many people being "considered" when you think about the PhD rejections and the normal MA applicants.

Daffy Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Thanks for the heads up--I didn't even realize I had received a rejection email from Stanford for the SHIPS PhD until I read this list because the message had been sent to a folder of my email rather than my inbox. I gave Stanford my best shot and I am disappointed. Even so, I've received three offers to date for good state schools in different parts of the country and I'm grateful for some options and for the guidance of a closed door.
