ncmissy Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Nothing from NC State since last week. Are they doing rolling admissions or are they done? My application status still just says "submitted" and I'm going a little crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunshineLolipops Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Looks like Emory normally sends out admits on Fridays. Fingers crossed, big money big money no whammy! JTE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerdguy Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Waitlisted at Rutgers, and absolutely gutted about it. You should write those who contacted you and still express your supreme interest in the program. It might get you in if someone doesn't take their offer. ashiepoo72 and mateol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marte108 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Looks like Emory normally sends out admits on Fridays. Fingers crossed, big money big money no whammy! I really want to believe this but the results page already shows a few admits for Emory which has deflated much of my hope! does anyone know if they do 2 waves of admits or have any insight into their process? I had an interview with my POI but we were so focused on talking about other stuff that I forgot to ask how the notification process works...all I know is that the graduate school committee has the final say on admits (therefore a POI can recommend you for admission but might not happen because of the committee's decision) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiqui74 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) I just finished making 25 cake pops for my son's class, and for the first time in in weeks I didn't think about grad school admisions for an entire hour and a half!

swissms Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I just finished making 25 cake pops for my son's clas, and for the first time in in weeks I didn't think about grad school admisions for an entire hour and a half! The same thing happened for me with my daughter yesterday. We made paper pinwheels instead of doing a candy for valentine's and it was a blissful worry free few hours. I'm going to make an effort to do these type of care free things with my kids now - next fall free time will be in shorter supply. (once we are all accepted to great programs!)

mvlchicago Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 tbh, I think you have to ask whether you'd be happy at a program that disrespects the oxford comma in such a manner . SunshineLolipops, Josh J., PD33 and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magellan1521 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Hi All! Has Columbia sent out acceptance or rejection letters? It seems only the POIs have been communicating to accepted students. And have we heard anything from UPenn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fopdandyhomo Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Mine says the same thing for Rutgers... I hope they do it in batches ... Unfortunately, I think Rutgers doesn't do batches. From what I know, they have a waitlist/shortlist but that's it. I'm assuming everyone who was accepted or waitlisted was emailed by the DGS today. Sorry, guys! It truly is Rutgers' loss. herstorian728 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazelmoor Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Current Stanford grad students were emailed the list of admits this evening. Congrats to anybody who's on it. We took 24 admits (happy to break down by field if anyone wants to know - most fields only take one or two). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelgi Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I've had absolutely no news whatsoever, no admits nor rejections. I'm going to take this as evidence that I haven't got in anywhere? The radio silence is excruciating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chtodelat Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) I've had absolutely no news whatsoever, no admits nor rejections. I'm going to take this as evidence that I haven't got in anywhere? The radio silence is excruciating. I see your location as UK and I am sure you are going through the same experience of angst that I am being abroad during the process. It's a hard process to go through in general and, at least from my perspective here in Russia, it can all seem very gloomy at times (though admittedly in my case that might be because I live in a country in deep economic crisis where anti-Americanism is the new cultural setting of many people). All that we can do is hope that someone sees the value in our applications and offers us a place. As many people have said on this forum, a rejection is not usually a rejection of your abilities or achievements so much as of your 'fit.' I have had hours long Skype conversations with potential advisors who have read my work and love it; however, if the admissions committee does not think that you have the proper fit the potential advisor's opinion of your value as a scholar does not always help with admission. This is a relatively arbitrary process (due to the many factors which various programmes put emphasis on) and being outside the country, and all the difficulties that are associated with that, make the process seem even more arbitrary. All we can do is hope that we have the 'proper' fit with one of the programmes to which we applied and get that fateful email (or phone call, or letter, or carrier pigeon). Until then, we can but wait. (BTW I've yet to be accepted anywhere yet, though have had a rejection from UC, Berkeley which means I've yet to hear from 4 schools) Edited February 12, 2015 by chtodelat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunshineLolipops Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Marte108 I absolutely agree with that assessment. I think I had Emory on the brain while I was looking at old results for Penn state, where I also failed to get an interview. Probably time to dust off the old resume just in case.

But yes, it's all we can do to try and not lose faith simply on account of no contact and simply put it down to 'fit' and bureaucracy. What's your focus chtodelat?
