carmen7077 Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 U of T!! I literally almost started crying at work when I saw the email. Got into Indiana for French Linguistics! Congrats!!! At the end of the week it's definitely great news!
lingling724 Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Hi everyone. It's my first time on the forum. It's the end of another week so I guess that means I won't be checking my email inbox as often For those of you accepted or waitlisted at Northwestern, have you heard anything about visit week? I know that if I haven't been contacted by Northwestern by now, the probability that I am rejected is 99.9%. I am holding onto that 0.1% since I have not received an official rejection letter. The waiting part is so tough! Also, those who have applied to Canadian schools: Has anyone heard anything from Simon Fraser or UBC?

Tairy Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Anyone going to the UCSC open house? Seems like they sent out open house invitations over email and did unofficial admittance notices over phone, which is what happened for me and at least 1 other person I know.
beefgallo Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 If anyone has any information regarding UBC, I would also love to know...
Scarecrow24 Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Stanford didn't even bother to email regarding the rejection this year. Had to find out about it by checking out the online application.
Omnium Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Stanford didn't even bother to email regarding the rejection this year. Had to find out about it by checking out the online application. I think they will eventually throw you an email titled something like "Stanford Decision Posted" that will simply direct you to the online application system. So you won't be less disappointed if you actually had received any email. I'm just sharing my experience from 2 years ago. Oh well.
carmen7077 Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Anyone has idea about Georgetown? Their admission is quite random this year. I wonder if each concentration have their own schedule on it, or they have already sent out their results. Should I e-mail them and ask about their timetable or plan......?
beccamayworth Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Anyone going to USC? Hi waitforme, I am currently a student at USC, feel free to send me a message if you have any questions
isilya Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Hi waitforme, I am currently a student at USC, feel free to send me a message if you have any questions So convenient for CUNY this year!!! I'm jealous
beccamayworth Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) So convenient for CUNY this year!!! I'm jealous Yes! Super exciting! You should come, SD isn't that far - Early Registration ends tomorrow....... (and also, the program is now available online) Edited February 15, 2015 by beccamayworth
isilya Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Yes! Super exciting! You should come, SD isn't that far - Early Registration ends tomorrow....... (and also, the program is now available online) I was originally going to go, but I'm visiting 7 places this month and I think I'll just be too dead to travel even a little bit
beccamayworth Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 I was originally going to go, but I'm visiting 7 places this month and I think I'll just be too dead to travel even a little bit hahah you're right! Enjoy all your trips! You'll have all the next CUNYs to go to
rainbowpink Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 I can't imagine visiting so many places! I have soooooo much stuff to do in advance this weekend because I'm visiting UMichigan this coming week.
Omnium Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) To the poster who submitted the MIT rejection news on the admissions result board, I'm curious if you had any missing parts in your application or something. It is really weird that rejection emails are sent out before acceptance notifications are. Edited February 16, 2015 by Omnium

And I hope you hear back from other schools with sweeter news.
juzaib Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Does anybody know if there is any school in US/Canada still accepting applications? I only applied to two US schools (UPenn [rejected] and CUNY [still waiting]) because I was more focused in European programs (Leiden [accepted], Porto [accepted] and Bern [waiting]), but maybe I should have more alternatives in North America...
Garyon Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 To the poster who responded to my inquiry, thanks for the info! And I hope you hear back from other schools with sweeter news. From what this poster is telling us they should already have shortlists of candidates for each subfiels, so also according to what goldheartmountaintop and carmen7077 told us previously, we can probably expect -hope- to hear from them by the end of the week...I guess... I'm not really expecting an admission (although one can never know),, but I'd really like to start officially cross off programs.

That is precisely what I was thinking/guessing. I'm not really expecting an admission (although one can never know),, but I'd really like to start officially cross off programs. But you can certainly hope for it! Right? It is still early for many programs to send out ``official'' admissions notifications, and therefore we could well be waitlisted at places from which we did not hear back yet! Being waitlisted is less painful than being rejected, it's like a pat on the back... just without any substance. Edited February 16, 2015 by Omnium Garyon 1

If you're looking at PhD programs in theoretical linguistics, I think you're probably out of luck without much margin of error, as far as US programs are concerned. Looking at the level of programs that you have applied for admissions, I doubt you would be interested in earning a degree at unknown places which *might* still be accepting applications. I don't know much about Canadian programs. However, I have always thought that Leiden has a great program. Well, it depends on your interest, of course, but I don't think I would be worried if I were in your position.
isilya Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 I'm supposed to visit Maryland tomorrow but I'm starting to get worried....I'm flying from San Diego to Boston to DC, I hope neither of my flights get canceled because of the crazy weather in Boston!!!

Good Luck! The weather in Boston is pretty bad these days, and it seems another snow storm is going to visit tomorrow.
