theoryoftheories Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 I like the idea of an interview. I really like it. I'm just not sure I see the utility. I don't know what information that they don't already have that I could supply that would be helpful in making a decision
deltaqsquared Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 I like the idea of an interview. I really like it. I'm just not sure I see the utility. I don't know what information that they don't already have that I could supply that would be helpful in making a decision I think what it comes down to is for the Profs to be able to talk to you, and see if you're willing to make the move, regardless of how far or expensive the move may be. I was interviewed in as a late admit last year to Univ. of Washington, and I think that the interview was the main reason I got it as well as the funding. Page228 and Whatishistoryanyway 1 1
Starbuck2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Has anyone heard from Brown or Rutgers yet?
theoryoftheories Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Does anyone want to claim the UNC admit? I am going to run out of fingernails really quickly this year.
Maleficent999 Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 I saw that UC Davis sent out their admits today. If any of you are considering us and would like to private message me for info, please do so. I'd be more than happy to answer any and ALL of your questions 100% honestly. I wish there had been someone on here for me to ask.
IncomingPhD2017 Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Nothing from Rutgers here. Based on previous years, we should hear from Rutgers about interviews pretty soon... Starbuck2015 1
SocInTheCity Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Saw the UNC admit and instantly "throw up in your mouth" feeling from last year. Bummed about UT-Austin...but hoping my UCLA admit is just one of the later ones. Or I'll hit refresh and see something from UNC. in the mean time....deep breaths, y'all. Nothing we can do but wait!
deltaqsquared Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Has anyone claimed the UWashington admit? What subfield?
zoesunny Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Has anyone claimed the UWashington admit? What subfield? Hi, I am the one reporting that admission. My first offer. But it seems the admission process hasn't ended yet. Feel free to PM me if anyone has questions. deltaqsquared 1
ritsukot74 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Hi, I am the one reporting that admission. My first offer. But it seems the admission process hasn't ended yet. Feel free to PM me if anyone has questions. Congrats!!! Did you apply early?? Or did you submit your app December 15th? The reason I'm asking is because some programs have rolling admissions and I want to get an idea of the deadlines and admissions
zoesunny Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Congrats!!! Did you apply early?? Or did you submit your app December 15th? The reason I'm asking is because some programs have rolling admissions and I want to get an idea of the deadlines and admiss I submit around Dec. 10th. but my materials were complete around the 20th, as my Toefl scores were late:( ritsukot74 1
deltaqsquared Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Hi, I am the one reporting that admission. My first offer. But it seems the admission process hasn't ended yet. Feel free to PM me if anyone has questions. Awesome. Congrats.
460178985 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Anyone uses yahoo mail? Does it work? It's not working for me. At this special time, this is very frustrating...
busybeinganxious Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 I use yahoo email, but only for personal stuff, and as my default for things I suspect will generate spam. I've never had an issue with it.
kda0751 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Got an email from UGA for their Graduate Recruitment Event. Pretty early, but the butterflies have started.
letstalkshop Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Just got a UCLA acceptance. Almost throwing up with excitement at work but I can't tell anyone because work people don't know I applied. Feel free to PM me with questions. Starbuck2015 and asngh 2
Starbuck2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Nothing from Rutgers here. Based on previous years, we should hear from Rutgers about interviews pretty soon... Thanks for the heads-up! Out of curiosity, would you mind sharing your stats? I'm just trying to gauge how competitive this year's applicants are.
IncomingPhD2017 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 To the person who has the UCLA acceptance and who was "super shocked. I had 1 publication, 2 under review"... why are you shocked?! That's good experience! Also congrats. Now to share my own stats, at the request of Starbuck2015; overall I feel pretty average. GRE: 158 quant, 166 verbal, 5.5 essays; GPA 3.5; no master's degree. But I think that I fit very well with the few programs I applied to, and my best quality is my publication: I was able to publish an article right out of undergrad, in the subfield that I want to pursue for my PhD. So I think that's what makes me most competitive.
cheff Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 I just got an interview at Rutgers. First signs of movement for me. Starbuck2015 1

So I think that's what makes me most competitive. Kudos for the strong GRE scores and the publication! I'm sitting here practically biting my nails because Rutgers has already begun requesting interviews and I have yet to hear from them. I'm hoping that my experience as a master's student at NMSU will help my case, but who knows? Good luck with the rest of the application process!
Starbuck2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 I just got an interview at Rutgers. First signs of movement for me. Congrats! Out of curiosity, was it a personalized email, or a generic email sent to all of the top candidates?
asheleeyang Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Seems that UCLA has sent out lots of acceptances today. Does anyone know if they'll be sending out more offers?
Stats Nerd Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Did anyone apply to the new PhD program at UMass Boston?

I'm hoping that my experience as a master's student at NMSU will help my case, but who knows? Good luck with the rest of the application process! Saw in the acceptance thread that all interviews have already been sent out for Rutgers.
