jmu Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 I second ritapita. I go to UK for DOPE every year and love the people, the campus, and the city.

Gradapplicant10101 Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 hello guyz... my application status for cu boulder recently shows that a decision has been made and i will contacted with further details.... no mention about admit/reject ! Is it their way of saying its an reject ? I'm confused and worried i wish they just say the decision already I just checked my status online and it still says: "Your application is complete. The admissions committee is reviewing your file." Now I am getting even more worried but I'll post here if I hear anything. Someone had posted in the survey section that they've been accepted unofficially, so I am increasingly less optimistic for myself. Did you get an interview?
ritapita Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Hi everyone. Still no word from Kentucky, but I will be primarily disconnecting from this thread as I have accepted an offer from another school since I won a 3yr competitive predoc fellowship. I will have 2 foci, one of which will be geography but I will not be attached to a geography department as my home. Its where I should be, but bummed Kentucky is so slow this year. I will be at Michigan State so if anyone happens to be going there, you are welcome to message me to connect. Best of luck to you all. I will be peeking in now and then to see who is going where.

I didn't interview; not feeling especially optimistic either.
obviousbicycle Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Ooh, it is this time of the year again. Went through this same thing last year and here I am at U of Oregon. All the best!
happyoutlier Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Waitlisted in Indiana... Its my top choice too among the three schools I applied. Fingers crossed!
jmu Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Waitlisted in Indiana... Its my top choice too among the three schools I applied. Fingers crossed! Who do you want to work with at Indiana?
happyoutlier Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 He's a relatively new professor in geography department but there's a strong research fit with him. His name is Majed Akhter. There's also another person who's also has a regional interest in South Asia which is incredibly rare.
happyoutlier Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Also out of curiosity - is anyone attending ICCG2015?
jmu Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 I know Majed, he organized a panel I presented on. He's a great guy.
happyoutlier Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 That's great to hear. I have not had much correspondence with him - but he's the person I'm hoping it works out with at Indiana. Thanks jmu!

Got CU Boulder reject and suny admit so far. waiting for oregon state n univ of kentucky. I need your suggestions , are there any good colleges which accept applications even now in US? I don't know of any that are admitting for fall but there are some programs that will admit for spring if you're interested in looking into those I still have the same status on the webpage and no response from the graduate department. How did the department contact you?
ilovemusic Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 I don't know of any that are admitting for fall but there are some programs that will admit for spring if you're interested in looking into those I still have the same status on the webpage and no response from the graduate department. How did the department contact you? they contacted me through mail saying that there are 130 applicants this year and only 1/6th can be admitted and stuff like that any good german universities u know?
Gradapplicant10101 Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Is it acceptable to call the department and ask if application decisions have been made this early into admissions season?
happyoutlier Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 When did you apply? Indiana and Kentucky deadline was 15th of Jan. and I called. Does no harm - just be polite.
Gradapplicant10101 Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 When did you apply? Indiana and Kentucky deadline was 15th of Jan. and I called. Does no harm - just be polite. I applied in December and still haven't heard back. Thanks again for the tip!
farsoodgee Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Happyoutlier- A friend who applied to Indiana University said they have not made any decisions yet so perhaps your waitlisted status is just a way to put you on hold while they make their decisions. Good luck.
happyoutlier Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Thanks so much for letting me know farsoodgee! That certainly helps my nerves a little. And, good luck to you too! =)
gradcafe_account_underscor Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 anyone know anything about UCLA??
Gradapplicant10101 Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 For those of you who got that dreaded rejection from CU Boulder- has your online status changed? I think I may have been rejected so hard that they didn't bother to send an email or update my application status! Thanks
geographyrocks Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 For those of you who got that dreaded rejection from CU Boulder- has your online status changed? I think I may have been rejected so hard that they didn't bother to send an email or update my application status! Thanks Haha! Don't worry. They'll definitely send you an email if you're rejected. I don't believe my status changed on the website. Although, I didn't really check it after the initial confirmation that I was rejected. Be sure you're checking your spam folders. I've heard emails sometimes end up there. If you haven't heard anything, you're probably on a waitlist.
