cloutma Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Let's get through these tough 2 months together...
Ophiopogon Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 I'm with you! I applied to the PhD program. Fingers crossed and good luck to you.

runjackrun Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Hi again, cloutma! I'm in the waiting game as well. I attended an FES event in the fall and I believe I heard them say MEM applicants COULD find out as early as mid-late January, but I think that is pretty uncommon and it is typically March. This is going to be brutal... How do you think your video interview went? I wasn't wild about mine, but my gut says "I didn't totally bomb it" so I'm going to count that as a good thing. I don't think the questions were tough, but the format was so awkward. Even after doing the practice I felt like I was caught off-guard. Oh well. Anyway, I'm super nervous, hoping for the best, bracing for the worst, and wishing everyone on here good luck. I welcome tips on how to keep my mind occupied for the next 9 weeks without going to check my e-mail/FES application portal every 5 minutes.

Typically the decision will come out in the first week of March? But I also saw some guys got the decision in Feb. in previous posts last several years, and they probably were Fulbright Scholar or somewhat special titles? I didn't quite know about this. But I guess most of people will get the result in March? Mid-Jan is too astounding! I haven't heard about this and you just made me so nervous hahaha! But I am a little afraid to ask and clarify about this through email for I do not wish to leave a "rush" impression..... Anyway good luck!
runjackrun Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 I think you are right--those who get decisions in February probably have some other factors on their application. I also think the "January" note could have been for FES in general, which would include PhD or MESc applicants who are taken on by profs. So all of that is to say, we're probably best to just expect something in March. But that doesn't keep me from checking multiple times every single day...
ceeceetrees Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 Has anyone heard back? I thought more people would have heard by mid February, especially considering the timing of decisions in 2015.
Ophiopogon Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 Nothing yet for MESc (I originally applied to the PhD program, but was rejected/had my app transferred to the master's program.) Since the financial aid deadline was just on Monday 2/15, I wonder if we'll start hearing next week? When I had my app transferred in late January they said reviews were already in progress.

Ophiopogon Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 I keep maniacally re-checking the results forum from 2015, as if it will somehow be helpful. One more week of waiting!

One more week of waiting! Ophiopogon (and cloutma): Have you heard for sure we'll know by next week? I've been operating under the assumption that we may find out this week, next week, or even the week after, or really that any time before March 15th is fair game, but I could out of the loop. This is the last school for which I am awaiting a decision and I'm really looking forward to finding out! I just want to know where I'll be living in a few months! Out of curiosity, has anyone on here applied to other MEM-type programs? In previous years it looks like there was an MEM thread for folks to compare programs and share thoughts and I don't think there's been one this year.

Hi @runjackrun - I'm just going off the results posting for previous years, unfortunately. You're right, I think we could hear as late as March 15th, though it looks like historically it's always sooner? Fingers crossed that's the case, good luck to you!
sanraymond Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 MEM student reporting in. So far there has not been any news on my side. I also applied for MEM at Duke and go an email saying they are starting to send out decisions today. Fingers-crossed.
cloutma Posted February 28, 2016 Author Posted February 28, 2016 good luck to everyone!!!! I have checked the results on gradcafe. The earliest results usually came out in the first Friday of March in previous years. I guess it will be the same this year?
DannoDees Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Still waiting on the MESc application response. Hoping it will be considered for the MEM as a backup.
cloutma Posted March 2, 2016 Author Posted March 2, 2016 I keep asking myself whether we will get the results this Friday! God it's killing me! Anyone heard any response or proper date for that?
Ophiopogon Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Looks like two MEM applicants posted in the results forum, they received decisions on 3/2. Still no word on my MESc application. Anyone else?

cloutma Posted March 5, 2016 Author Posted March 5, 2016 I'm in!!!! Thanks to everybody here! Ophiopogon 1
Prosper Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 Waitlisted for the MEM F2016. I am remaining cautiously optimistic!
Ophiopogon Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 I'm also in! @cloutma thanks for the support and @Ambessa fingers crossed for you. Prosper 1
sanraymond Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Congrats Cloutma, Betun and Ophiiopogon! Unfortunately I am rejected by the program... Sad... Wish you all the best and best of luck to Ambessa! Prosper 1

Thanks for the well wishes and good luck to both of you and your future endeavors. I will update the thread when I hear the news from Yale.
Prosper Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 For what it's worth I am still on the waitlist. I just got an email stating I need to send an email to the head of enrollment in order to confirm my spot on the waitlist. There is no set date when we will be notified and the waitlist will remain open until sometime in July. Will keep you posted! Wish me luck!
