Determinedandnervous Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Rejection from there hurts, but I recognize that I wasn't the closest fit and there are so many whose fit is airtight that they could and should admit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndEnth Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Yup, me too. Not that that wasn't already expected after last night. Trying to tell myself that it's partly because I'm a foreigner, and that I won't have that problem with other schools. But I could really use some good news.

flatwhite Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 (edited) Also among the rejected Berkeley applicants. Duke app just says that my materials are submitted, so I'm taking that as a likely rejection given that people seem to have received acceptances already. I also applied for an MA through the CIR at Chicago...will that come out at the same time as regular Chicago decisions?

No changes though I'm not sure that I would even be able to tell given that NYU's website is so confusing and in like 8 different fonts and 10 different colours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you assume that not hearing means it will be a rejection? Many people in this forum have this mentality as well. I think it is very early to jump to a conclusion and not hearing is a good indicator at this point. Eobard Thawne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people in this forum have this mentality as well. I think it is very early to jump to a conclusion and not hearing is a good indicator at this point. Although I understand that is the correct assumption (to assume nothing), most delayed communications after acceptances have been eventually turned into rejections. It is hard to remain optimistic these days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't get the offer on the day when most people do, you are out. The chance that someone declining the offer right away and the committee getting your name from WL to acceptance list at the same time is minimal. Take Berkeley this year as the example. You can also see this trend re. Duke and Chicago from pervious years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past, rejected applicants to the Phd program at Chicago get dropped into the application process for the MAPSS or the CIR (depending on the applicant's interest), so I would think those programs make decisions later.

Do you know if the recommendation for MAPSS/CIR is selective? Do most Ph.D. rejects get the MAPSS/CIR offer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That happened to me last year (yes, my second cylce already), and I was admitted to the MAPSS in March. So that will take a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worryandhope Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 All I know is that I was rejected from UChicago's phd program last year (this year, too, it seems) and I was accepted in CIR. They key there, though, is money. I know some applicants get full (very rare) or partial tuition scholarships. Key when the cost of their 1 year MA is like 50k.
