Oh so slowly. Same! I'm assuming I won't hear anything about waitlists until April or so, which is fine... but where is Toronto? I'd like to know where I stand there!

anonnoname Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I'm definitely dying because I just saw that people heard from WashU about MA acceptances, but i haven't heard anything about my MAT application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwiebz Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I see there's a wait list notification out there for Notre Dame. Has anyone else heard anything since the interviews? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For PHDs, I've heard back from Penn (waitlisted), OSU History (accepted), and Cornell Classics (accepted). For MAs, I've heard back from WashU in St. Louis, FSU, Notre Dame, and University of Kansas (Accepted by all but Notre Dame, where I was waitlisted).

I've heard back from WashU and Kansas for their M.A. programs (both acceptances and also my top two choices, so I'm very happy with it). I'm still waiting to hear from two schools (Notre Dame and Kentucky - but based on @Jimleko's experience, it looks like I might be expecting a rejection from Notre Dame).

LtnLvr Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Is there anyone out there who did a fly out interview weekend and didn't get accepted or knows someone that happened to? What was the reason do you think? This didn't happen to me but wondering why it happens to try to avoid it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clock Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Well, when I did interview weekends a few years ago, roughly 2/3 of the prospective students weren't accepted at each school-- so it happens all the time. I really don't think there's anything you can do to avoid it, any more than you can avoid a regular rejection. The schools know how many spots they can fill ahead of time, and they fly in more students than they have places: so someone is going to get rejected. I think the key is to try not to take it any more personally than you would a standard rejection. I mean, obviously it feels different, because you met people and you hope that you made a good impression and that they liked you. But ultimately, they are deciding on the merits of your application as a whole, and it is entirely possible that (even if they like you) they don't think you're the best choice for their program. It's just life, and this type of thing will keep happening over the course of your academic career-- grant applications, job applications-- so it is a good idea to figure out how to roll with it.

What was the reason do you think? This didn't happen to me but wondering why it happens to try to avoid it. I did 3 years ago - there were 8 of us invited and they only had space for 4. They said it was a tough decision to make so they made offers to the 4 people who had Master's degrees. Personally I also was not ready at all for a PhD so it was a blessing in disguise! I flew out for another interview at the same school this past weekend and if I'm rejected again I will be asking for feedback (just for reference since it'd be nice to know how I can improve my interview skills etc.) so I can let you know what they say if that is indeed what happens, haha...

LtnLvr Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Thanks, Cistai. I don't have a master's degree so it's good to know. It's cool you went out again, this time with a master's and another PhD offer under your belt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimleko Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Looks like final decisions from Berkeley's AHMA program are out. Alas, I was not accepted, but immediately after I got an acceptance from Catholic University's Greek and Latin program. Always nice when the bad is followed by the good.

anonnoname Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Oh hey! Just got off the phone with Professor Keitel at UMass' MAT program.

Potnia Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) Can someone claim the admit to Brandeis? What is your area of interest? It was my top choice and I haven't heard anything. Thanks! Edited February 27, 2016 by Potnia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibnbattuta Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I urge those of you who were given offers of admission to input the stipend information, if any, at http://www.phdstipends.com/ .
