So that will take a while. Do you know the rough percentage of the rejects who eventually got admitted to MAPSS? Also, congrats on NYU! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I know is that my application last year really wasn't strong (1 admit out of 12, decided against it when I realised it wasn't a good fit after all), and still I was admitted to the MAPSS. But, as others have pointed out, it's a question of funding. If I had had 27k lying around and nothing else to do, I might have done it. But even with partial funding, I just couldn't afford it.

CarefreeWritingsontheWall Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Seems like a busy day for most people wow. I didn't apply to any of the schools that released results in the last two days or so, so I've lucked out in knowing I'll likely start hearing back next week. Congrats to all the admits!

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. Oh no, what I meant was that many have been rejected from MSU today. Meaning I'm afraid I'll be on that list as it rolls out! I am, though, of the mind that no news is at least not bad news, and perhaps implies some good news to come. Positive vibes! Syas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I graduated from CIR this year so I'll tell you this: most students in the MAPSS program are PhD rejects, and MAPSS accepts around 150 students a year. CIR, on the other hand, has very few people who were admitted after getting rejected from PhD programs; most in CIR apply directly for an MA (Or at least this was the case with my cohort). Also, the CIR cohort is much smaller than MAPSS ~ 40 candidates. I just got wait listed by Chicago's phd ad comm, so kinda bummed s1994 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VMcJ Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 (edited) I gave up hope, probably less than 1% chance of receiving an admission from NYU now. Two rejections, six to go. Edited February 4, 2016 by ViniciusMJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have talked to people at Michigan -- Even though the information on their website is accurate, Michigan is probably not going to release the decisions until the end of this week. Who did you talk to at Michigan? I just spoke with the department assistant on the phone, and she said "We usually release decisions at the end of February". According to past years results and according to the UM website, this is not accurate, so I am wondering if it was just an agitated, heard-this-question-too-many-times sort of thing.

I'm not that OP but fyi, I e-mailed the grad assistant about something to do with my transcripts early this week and I didn't ask about decision timing but even so she concluded her e-mail by saying they're almost finished reviewing decisions (read: not done) and "anticipate sending notifications in the next few weeks." So this week seems like a stretch by any measure, and I doubt she was misleading you on the phone. PizzaCat93 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually, Michigan will send out the roster to the department (including grad students) before they notify the applicants. I have talked to someone on the listserv and he said he hasn't heard anything re: grad admissions so far. Edited February 4, 2016 by s1994 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s1994 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 (edited) pizzacat, The date on the website is the date that the committee is aiming for. However, the progress can be delayed for various reasons. But I won't be surprised to hear from Michigan either this week or next week, since the committee was initially aiming for 2/5 this year (at least according to the website). I will PM you if I hear something. Edited February 4, 2016 by s1994 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ultraultra Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 Strange that so few people have reported NYU admits. It's almost as if NYU read this forum and decided to notify @IndEnth and I ASAP because we were both so sad yesterday.
