Cottagecheeseman Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I've applied to 7 terminal MA programs. I just heard back from the first one, Georgia State University: Rejected. Pretty bummed about this. I was under the impression that GSU's program would be one of the less difficult to get into, being that they had 23 spots open. A friend of mine just got rejected there, he's pretty heartbroken, it was his 'safety school'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turambar85 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Do we only have one known rejection from the University of Tennessee? And has anybody claimed it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty bummed about this. I was under the impression that GSU's program would be one of the less difficult to get into, being that they had 23 spots open. I'm sorry to hear that. Honestly, I feel like things are totally up in the air. It's a guessing game the whole way through, and I doubt anyone can really have a safety school.

Wait For It... Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I've applied to 7 terminal MA programs. I just heard back from the first one, Georgia State University: Rejected. Pretty bummed about this. I was under the impression that GSU's program would be one of the less difficult to get into, being that they had 23 spots open. Hang in there. You have six other schools left to hear from. Dialectica 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, apparently I miscalculated: I have seven left to hear from. Thank goodness. Wait For It... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattDest Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Georgia State is probably one of the more difficult MA programs to get into, from what I understand. Hang in there. Wait For It... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ta_pros_to_telos Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Claiming the Georgetown rejection. It was definitely a top choice for me Congrats to the admits, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weltgeist Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) also rejected at Georgetown - I saw the others and decided to check the website (i.e. i've yet to get an email). Bummed but not terribly so; I would've loved to work with Pinkard and Ver Eecke. Edited February 26, 2014 by Weltgeist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerpetualApplicant No More Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Also got a UCSD rejection. Form email from grad adminsitration. It was one of the few schools I thought might be a better fit than Riverside, but oh well. I guess I can always get Bill Bechtel to be my external committee member.

ta_pros_to_telos Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Yale's considerate rejection letter: "We could have wasted a stamp on you, but email allows us to reject you so much faster. Hope you don't mind." I actually lol'ed, but yeah, please don't send me a hard copy as well. philosophe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
