chtodelat Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Sorry! No worries. A glimmer of hope is better than no hope at all! Enjoy the weekend in NYC. After living here in Moscow for two years it was great to think of getting to study in the heart of America's most interesting large city. I'll still hold on to some irrational hope until I get an official rejection. Maybe I can pull off a Doug Flutie-esque hail mary to finish out the game!
Zephyr99 Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 I'm currently a PhD student at George Washington. If anybody who was accepted has questions about the program, feel free to PM me.
SunshineLolipops Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 For the person looking for info about UNC on the results board, it looks like 5 admits went out already. UNC doesn't necessarily have the best funding packages, so there's a chance to get off of a waitlist, but I've basically written that application off. UNC is also fairly slow to send out rejections.
SunshineLolipops Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Have all of the Emory applicants out there heard back yet? I see acceptances and rejections on the board, but I've heard nothing, and I'm trying to resist the urge to contact the department.
Anna Leigh Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 I'm in the same boat JJWS. I've heard that Emory has already released all acceptances, but I feel that it's all speculation at this point. I'm also wondering the same thing about Vanderbilt... I know that a few acceptances went out early last week (congrats to those folks by the way!) but no word since. The silence is deafening!

ashiepoo72 Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 I just got a nerve-wracking email from a POI asking me for more details on my project. I thought Sundays were for relaxation!
SunshineLolipops Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 I just got a nerve-wracking email from a POI asking me for more details on my project. I thought Sundays were for relaxation! That's awesome! Except for the stress part. But that puts you in the running.
ashiepoo72 Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Thanks JJWS! I certainly hope so! That program happened to get a truncated version of my SOP (seriously, 500 words is a tough restriction) so I sent him a longer version. Commiserations to the Emory rejections. Hope you all hear some good news soon!
a.rev Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 That's awesome Ashiepoo! The fact that they're willing to take time out of their Sunday to email you means they're probably pretty excited about your work.
Josh J. Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 I'm in the same boat JJWS. I've heard that Emory has already released all acceptances, but I feel that it's all speculation at this point. I'm also wondering the same thing about Vanderbilt... I know that a few acceptances went out early last week (congrats to those folks by the way!) but no word since. The silence is deafening! My understanding is that Vandy sends out all of their acceptances at once...
navyblackmaroon Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 My understanding is that Vandy sends out all of their acceptances at once... In the past Vanderbilt used to have a waitlist, but I am not sure if they have one for this year. For example, three of the nine cohort members of the class that entered in Fall 2011 were originally in the waitlist.
JTE Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Sundays are NOT for relaxation. I just got my rejection form Emory. Let's hope for some good news this week.
Bellerophon Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Just got rejected from Emory, Stanford earlier this week. I applied to 10 places, so far those two are all I've heard. I'm freaking out. Should I be looking for food service jobs? (Honestly. I'm not looking to feel better, I'm just hoping for some truth)
ashiepoo72 Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Where else did you apply? My whole mantra is contingency plans are always good, but I wouldn't start losing hope til all my programs started notifying.
mvlchicago Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Just got rejected from Emory, Stanford earlier this week. I applied to 10 places, so far those two are all I've heard. I'm freaking out. Should I be looking for food service jobs? (Honestly. I'm not looking to feel better, I'm just hoping for some truth) Looking for jobs is always good! I have good news but I still am looking for a part time or temp job .
a.rev Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Just got rejected from Emory, Stanford earlier this week. I applied to 10 places, so far those two are all I've heard. I'm freaking out. Should I be looking for food service jobs? (Honestly. I'm not looking to feel better, I'm just hoping for some truth) You applied to 10 schools, just remember you only need to get in to 1! Looking for jobs is always good but skip food service and apply to office jobs. You might work 40 hrs a week but they're regular hours, more responsibility, and you'll be able to focus on boosting your application for the next cycle. (Because you're not having to close at 11 and be back at 7am.) If I don't get in I'm looking for a job in an office or working front desk at a hotel (did this full time throughout undergrad, I could study in my downtime and didn't have to waste gas going to work for a 4 hour shift like I do now.) It's good to be realistic but when you've still got 8 schools to hear from you shouldn't already be counting yourself out. mvlchicago 1

Gambaosaka1 Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Helluva way to start the week. All we need is to get into one! At least that was my idea going into this cycle. You will get one or more acceptances this coming week. Fingers crossed. SunshineLolipops 1
SunshineLolipops Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Just felt like this week needs it's own soundtrack... and amazing hair. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9jK-NcRmVcw JTE, herstorian728, Aubstopper and 1 other 4
ashiepoo72 Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Haha love it JJWS! Ugh, perfect time for me to catch a cold. Happy Sunday, y'all!

IvanBezdomnii Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Penn informed Monday of this week last year, I feel like it's a strong possibility considering it's been so long since they interviewed people. Fingers crossed. Good luck on all fronts this week everybody.
Josh J. Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Ugh, perfect time for me to catch a cold. Happy Sunday, y'all! Same here! Interviewing at Baylor on Thursday/Friday and I'm getting sick! Blah!
