rlb Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I've been weighing whether or not to call Boston University (it seems they have not sent out notifications of anything yet, except maybe one person who has a masters?). I've heard two sides to calling a department - one saying that calling just annoys them and they're not likely to tell you anything helpful, and one saying that it is helpful and it's an ok thing to do. What do you think?  yes I realize I'm probably over-thinking this and I should just call....but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reinalou Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I didn't (sorry), but I have the same questions for anyone accepted to UW-Madison. I'm remaining hopeful that I'll get off the wait list there. I'd heart anyone who doesnt plan to accept to let them know. <3 I think it's unlikely I'll go to Madison, maybe it will be your spot. But I won't know until I visit. chimem4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed them already. No response. Based on the results last year. It should be out from march 1st to 15th..oh dear. I am worried. Given up hope on yale. All I have is boston uni left. I think this monday will be a very interesting indeed. rlb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've pretty much given up on Yale, and BU is my last hope (also my top school tied with Brandeis). I'm very worried....Here's to both of us getting in next week!!!

klin88 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Anyone applied to the Jurisprudence and Social Policy program at Berkeley? Has anyone heard anything from them yet? I haven't seen anyone claiming admission for this year yet, but I don't know it's because very few people applied to that program are active at Grad Cafe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inanna.nanna Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Any news from Binghamton and Pittsburgh?  I contacted them and apperantly my applications are still under review. Fall 2015 does not look bright for international applicants. Fortunately I got into Missouri after getting 4 rejections. I already have two masters and I am 30, I feel that I am lost in the US graduate system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pennywise Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Anyone applied to the Jurisprudence and Social Policy program at Berkeley? Has anyone heard anything from them yet? I haven't seen anyone claiming admission for this year yet, but I don't know it's because very few people applied to that program are active at Grad Cafe. I've always been intrigued by that program but was intimidated by the fact that they only accept 2 or 3 people, mostly from their own law school (though I could be wrong about that, I'm just deducing from their site).

uselesstheory Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Did anyone on the CUNY wait list happen to get an email about the visit day that congratulated them on their acceptance...? aly198 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aly198 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Did anyone on the CUNY wait list happen to get an email about the visit day that congratulated them on their acceptance...?  Yup, got that email too. Think it was a generic invitation to both admitted students and waitlistees.  But oh, how my heart hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it was a generic invitation to both admitted students and waitlistees.  But oh, how my heart hurt.  It was, confirmed after a brief email exchange. That's a terrible mistake to make, especially if some people who received that email are on the wait list without any acceptances. Not the nicest thing to do to wait listed students...

Â Â Sounds like we're in the same boat. Care for a paddle? :/ My only hope is that the CUNY waitlist moves, shakes, rocks, and rolls. Wonder how many students were admitted for CUNY this year and what their ideal cohort yield is. Edited March 3, 2015 by aly198 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reinalou Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 For those waitlisted at CUNY, I was admitted but will likely not be attending. I'll let them know as soon as I can and hopefully that'll make room for one more. MAC2809 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellee Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Did USC send out acceptances yet ?  Yes. I got it mid-Feb. Reported it to the results page thing - should be able to see it there. Can't remember the exact date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
