Fall 2016 Applicants

[Caymay]

Once you've been recommended for admission how long does it usually take the graduate school to send out the official word? Found out last Monday I was recommended for admission and I have spoken with my future advisor, but I still have not heard anything from the graduate school! I emailed them today. I suppose they are just really busy with other programs, but I am getting so impatient!

It takes awhile, sometimes weeks. In many cases, grad schools won't send out word until all funding decisions, admission decisions, etc. are in from all departments-- which takes awhile. You're in, so congrats and don't worry about it!

Has anyone heard anything at all from Rutgers? I checked my status and it still says no decision. Ugh. 

I was interviewed by Rutgers and subsequently waitlisted. My understanding is that they have made their offers already (less than five funded offers!) and are waiting on responses from the admitted students.

Any news out of UC-Irvine? They said we could expect to hear back in February, but the "application pending" status is starting to induce anxieties...

Thank you!

Claiming the UCSF/Berkeley admit. Got a phone call from the director of the program. Absolutely ecstatic ! 

[MedAnth077]

Medanth101, that is truly wonderful, congrats! Would you mind sharing your prospective doctoral project/interests? Congrats again!

I urge those of you who were given offers of admission to input the stipend information, if any, at http://www.phdstipends.com/ .  Knowledge is power, and congrats to those who were accepted.

Any CUNY updates? If I haven't been contacted am I screwed?

[pakhistorian]

Besides the one interview call on the results page, has anyone else heard from Boston University??

[abskate]

Hey guys... I'm new

I'm still waiting to hear from Yale, Harvard, UPenn, NYU and Duke.

Have other people heard from these places... I know some have done interviews

[catcatcatdog]

abskate, you can search for school results at the link below. They're self-reported, but overall fairly accurate.

Rejected from Rutgers. Oh, well! Congrats to those admitted.

[silsab]

... pew... its been a rough week rejection wise. Few hopes left. Does anyone have any news whatsoever about Johns Hopkins? I see someone was accepted 11th of Feb and then utter stillness... Does that mean they have made their picks?

I got a rejection email from them this morning. It was a generic email explaining that there were a large number of qualified applicants. I'm not too upset because I've been accepted to the UCI Informatics PhD program.

Wishing you luck ecopolitiq!

I got the same email, unfortunately, but congrats on the acceptance! Likewise, I've been accepted to continue here at OSU, so it looks like we are safe!

Did you get your undergrad at OSU and got accepted for a masters degree?

No- I'm finishing my MA here and was approved to continue for Ph.D. study.

Thanks! Congrats to you too! I got accepted to OSU's anthropology MA program back in 2011. I ended up going to a different program and sometimes I regret that. It's a great school and everyone else in my family has gone to OSU. Go Buckeyes!

Awesome. Thanks for clearing that up. Congratulations!!!

[LisforLithics]

Saw in the results that others are equally on edge waiting for Harvard. Hurry up Harvard!!!

[catcatcatdog]

Harvard has made their first round of offers, I believe -- an acquaintance was recently admitted.

[Caymay]

I got my official acceptance from University of Wisconsin Madison today! Just waiting to hear about funding.
