opaljmy Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 wow congrats to all of you . still waiting for PhD news...
mel5886 Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Got my acceptance about an hour ago for the MPP program!
allinduetime Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Congrats to all the Master's students! From the results page it seems like it's rough going for PhD candidates (myself included)
lulamae Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Accepted to the masters program! Totally surprised. Goodluck everyone!!
bpearce_ Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 I've seen the update to my account regarding my acceptance, but I still haven't received the initial email directing me to check. Did I miss anything important?
sdfltft Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Congrats to everyone who got in I am wondering..so the Master's list is out, and apparently the potential PhD applicants have been invited for interview weekend. What about PhD applicants who haven't heard anything? Is that a bad sign?
sjk0831 Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 I applied to QM phd and emailed to Peabody admissions. This is the part of their answer. Faculty are contacting their top candidates over the next few weeks. If you make the final round, you should be contacted by January 30. I hope this information helps. Almost no hopes
nashville0808 Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Those who haven't heard from Peabody about Ph.D. programs are not short-listed. Yet, they are still in a pool of potential admits. Whether you will receive an admission offer from Peabody depends on responses of applicants who are invited to the recruitment weekend, which will be held from 2/13-2/15.
CHWF Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 haihai, Do you happen to know approximately how many candidates are invited to the weekend compared to the number of spots available? That is if there are 10 interviewees, is it possible that all could receive an offer? (Assuming each of the candidates is a good fit and have no other offer, of course.) Thanks!

nashville0808 Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) This depends on departments but I think that each department invites a couple of more candidates than the "minimum" number of spots. This means that, if a department has a budget to admit 10 students, they will invite around 10 candidates, assuming that they find 10 candidates with glorifying qualifications. Yet, in their mind, they want to get at least 7 students in the end. Each year across the departments, a few candidates are rejected after the interview or do not accept admission offers. I also think each department has the number of spots available to each program within the department. So if a department has four programs and the maximum number of spots is 10, then, typically each grogram has two or three spots. This varies from year to year, though.

lilgreycells Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 I'll echo what haihai said and add that it definitely depends on the department. Some departments invite a bit more than the budget they have knowing that they will not be accepting all the students invited to recruitment weekend and others consider recruitment weekend a formality and it's just a matter of whether the prospective student chooses Peabody.
J.Z Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Is anyone planning to go to visitation day? This seems specific to us masters students.
NMB Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 J.Z -- I will be there! Think I will go to both the Thurs night social event and the information sessions on Friday. Love Nashville and can't wait to be back in the South!
higheredhopeful Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 I'm going too! Can't wait to check out Nashville as well. Where are you guys planning on staying? I'm looking through AirBnB.
ALbunny Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Is anyone planning to go to visitation day? This seems specific to us masters students. I will be there! Super excited.
bpearce_ Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 I'll be there both Thursday and Friday, too. I'm from Nashville (currently in the Carolinas), so if anyone has questions about places to stay (or to avoid!) shoot me a message
GSEApply2014 Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Has anyone heard any word on the EdD program? I had an email from the office in December that said decisions would be released in "early February." I thought for sure they would send them out today since they did all of the others last Friday. Any word would be great. Thanks all.
Okie123 Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Hi all, Does anyone know any details about the PhD Interview weekend? I'm applying LPO and wanted to see if there was anything I could do to prepare and just wanted to know more about how the interviews will look.
nashville0808 Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Each deparment looks for clues for academic success among candidates. You should check your deparment's website and figure out what type of students they want to admit. If you are uncertain but really want to study at Peabody, whether or not your research interests match with those of your deparment or faculty members, then I would suggest that you don't talk about anything provocative, carefully interpret what faculty members are thinking about, and try to give a good impression. Remember that being invited to this recrutment event means that you are almost admitted. This is a final check among faculty members to see if anything stands out, especially whether candidtes fit well with the departments' missions and goals. A few candidates are rejected afterward. Probably for applicants not invited to this event, they want you to screw up : )
