SunshineLolipops Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 As much as waiting on a waitlist and for 3 schools to contact me at all is agonizing, being slammed with grading midterms and watching the TT faculty do a search committee for a new position helps me to understand that I might not be at the top on anyone's priority list. Three weeks from now at least it should finally be over.... archersline 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that a DGS is busy this time of year, but it is unprofessional to ignore emails. As 5th year said to me when I made the same complaints, just wait until you get to the job market SunshineLolipops 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunshineLolipops Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Is anyone else waiting to hear from Ohio State? Or maybe Penn State or Georgia Tech HSTS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just received my rejection, sadly.. But I anticipated that, I just really wanted to make it official so I could move on. I'm assuming you will hear back soon. Now to just hear back from Indiana.. Did anyone happen to apply to the HPS program (can't remember if I asked this)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure one program I applied to is just going to forget I ever existed and tell me nothing. An automated email would be nice, honestly.

SunshineLolipops Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 (edited) For the person asking about OSU on the results board, I'm waiting to hear back anything from Ohio State, Penn State, and Georgia Tech's History and Sociology of Technology and Science programs. I've got my fingers crossed, but I'm not expecting anything but a little closure, hopefully, but not likely, this week.

My academia.edu and another place where my undergrad thesis is posted got hits on Sunday, so hopefully there's still a chance. My masters dissertation has also been added to the Royal Engineers Museum at Gillingham's archive, and I'm trying to decide if that's news enough to contact programs where I am or might be on the fence. It's not a publication though, so I'm willing to bet any DGS would see it as just an excuse to bother him or her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had an unusual situation with our admissions this year and so we haven't sent out any rejections. It's likely that you won't hear until much closer to April 15th. fortsibut and SunshineLolipops 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunshineLolipops Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Added to the waitlist for Georgia Tech's History and Sociology of Science and Technology program. Even if they don't pan out, two waitlists feels a lot better than getting rejected outright from all of my applications last semester. Good luck to everyone still waiting for news, waitlisted folks, and people deciding on their offers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
