It might still be early, but it might also be because not everyone is lurking around on GradCafe like we are...! The DGS also said that the formal email with the $$ package is coming in a few days. So I guess we should expect to see some more news then. Expand Alright. I'll just sit here......hoping.

My research fit is pretty phenomenal and I'm super pumped about my potential committee (2 other scholars whose work I love are in different departments). No more Plan B office job for me! Expand Congrats! I was also just admitted to UCSD! Did you hear anything about funding? My letter did not refer to it at all (no mention of funding info to come).
krystasonrisa Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 On 2/9/2016 at 9:33 AM, Ahtlatl said: I got a phone call from my POI at UCLA this weekend (Saturday, Feb 6th to be exact). He said that there were two other professors in the same field (Latin America) who also had students that they wanted to bring to UCLA, but I was the one ultimately chosen. IIRC, admissions at UCLA are based on geographic field, not period, with one student admitted each year for Latin American history. So, sorry to say this, but I think that if you are doing Latin American history, regardless of the period you focus on, you're probably going to be rejected or waitlisted. I am most likely going to choose UCLA, but I'm still waiting to hear back from Rutgers and Columbia (long shot). Expand Any more news for the history department at UCLA? Do you mind if I ask if you plan on taking your offer?

I'm assuming we both received the same letter. Mine said a "If you have not yet been contacted by a faculty member informing you of your acceptance, you will be receiving a letter from the Department, followed by an official letter from the Office of Graduate Studies, shortly." I'm assuming funding will be in one of these forthcoming documents.
victoriana Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) Is it likely that IU have sent out all of their acceptance notifications at this point? I only see a few rejections and 3 acceptances, and have not yet received either, so my mind has been racing! Edited February 17, 2016 by victoriana

I was a bit surprised by how close their admitted students day is, I may not be able to go due to work restrictions and previous engagements. Either way, I am waiting to hear about funding before I decide on my next move. My subfield is European history.

Generally, I'd assume that I'm not going to be accepted if I'm seeing others who are on gradcafe. But since others have been rejected in a couple waves, I'm wondering if maybe that means I'm still in the running? Who knows. They might be gauging how many of their first offers are going to be accepted, and leaving people in limbo as a kind of unofficial waitlist. victoriana 1

Expand I went ahead and called RPI and asked them about the current status of applicants. At this point I'm just trying to confirm my rejection. The acceptances on the results page happened about two weeks ago. Got transferred to a voice mail. Hm. There's been three acceptances and no rejections from them at this point.

I wasn't very clear. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. I applied to their STS program. My intention with my comment was that I'm curious if RPI is doing something similar.

HAPPYDuck Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Has anyone here heard from University of Washington yet? Someone on the survey posted that they received an email from their POI notifying of rejection...
meo03 Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Does anyone know if no interview= rejection at CUNY Graduate Center?

Expand They do them by subfield with the field's rep who is on the admissions committee. So if you don't hear and others in your subfield do it probably means you're waitlisted. They do them essentially to see if their top choices will accept because they can't reissue funding packages. Then if people decline or indicate they're going elsewhere they'll move on.

anxietygirl Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Quick question: I was accepted to a program a few weeks ago and I never heard from my POI. Is that weird? Should I email him? I'm leaning towards accepting this offer, but I'm not really sure what to do.

I'm a little surprised considering I had some good conversations with my POI there and felt pretty confident on my chances. Not to mention my fit with the program was stellar. Just goes to show how unpredictable this whole process is. In any case, congrats to all the UCSD admits.
