Chiqui74 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I don't see anything on the bottom of the page. To be clear, this is the page that we used to submit the application and review it (has the "print receipt" button) and, gives a run down of what has been submitted and received, and says "submitted" with a big green check next to it, correct? The apply yourself website? It is. Maybe you haven't been rejected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTE Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 So, I checked with the admissions office (I had to). My application is still under review. Yay for this little ray of hope. ashiepoo72, Fianna, Aubstopper and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimat Historian Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 That's great JTE. Under review is certainly better than a rejection. JTE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTE Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) Thanks! I'm trying not to raise my hopes too high, but it's hard not to when all I've experienced thus far is swift rejection. Edited February 25, 2015 by JTE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTE Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 What is up with these schools? Why can't UVA send e-mails at least prompting a visit to the website when their official decision is made? I get that not all schools will be as considerate as Emory in sending a very nice letter directly to our inboxes, but UVA can at least go the route Duke took and send an e-mail telling the applicant to check the website. While I didn't receive my official status today, I feel for those who did by stumbling upon their decision on the website. Those of you who were rejected, let us know if and when you receive any other communication about UVA's final decision. I'm curious to see if they will send e-mails later.

Jezzlin Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I just got waitlisted by Michigan. They didn't have the patience to actually write my name so instead I received an email that began with "Dear <Title> <Last Name>". schlesinger1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fianna Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) I applied specifically to work in the Race, Law and History program at U-M. I look at the ways in which the meaning of race was changed and codified as a result of economic demands due to colonial and imperial pressure and the ways in which law was used as a strategy to block groups of people from achieving status in society. Short story: racism is part of our law. it was put there as a feature, not a bug. Edited February 25, 2015 by Fianna MollyTheMick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimat Historian Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 That's really interesting stuff. I took a course in my first attempt at a Master's that dealt with those types of issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kateosee Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 According to my POI, only about 1/2 - 2/3 of those accepted into Michigan's history program choose it. I'm pulling for those on the waitlist!! I wish they'd send us funding info though :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayray11 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 kateosee (quote not working) - I totally agree, I feel like I am holding other people up as I'm considering several schools, but I have very little info on funding. I need it to make decisions and free up spots for others! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellebe Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 So, I checked with the admissions office (I had to). My application is still under review. Yay for this little ray of hope. Awesome!!!

ashiepoo72 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I was discussing this problem with one of my MA professors because I don't want to "string" any programs along or hold up the wait lists. My prof urged me not to pull the plug on any pending applications or acceptances until I have funding information and know I would not attend the programs. Without funding information, making the decision to withdraw an application or decline an acceptance isn't the best idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimat Historian Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Anyone heard of being admitted but wait listed for funding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashiepoo72 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I'm wait listed for funding at UCSB. I think it's pretty common at programs with tight budgets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kateosee Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 The American Culture department here at UMich told me my funding info when they called me to tell me I'd been accepted. I thought that was standard procedure until I started reading gradcafe lol. I'm taking a stab that the Michigan funding package will look something like: years 1, 4, 5, fellowship (9.5k-ish/semester)+ tuition. years 2, 3 GSI positions which is about the same funding. Plus health and dental insurance. This seems to be a pretty standard LSA package here. The difference being who gets guaranteed summer funding and who doesn't.
