katpillow Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Good thing I'm about a month behind on my lab notebook, at least I'll be able to occupy myself with filling out about 40 pages today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippyscientist Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Good luck everyone waiting to hear back still. This week and next I think will be D-day for most programs. Fingers, toes and everything crossed for good news!! Cat_Robutt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, soon it will all be finito, and I'll know whether or not I'll be building things up for next year. I read your post in the "A couple rejections" thread, and you certainly have a great frame of mind about this process as a whole. Nothing about this is easy, but you do what you can to look forward to the next steps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was pretty upset by the fact that I got absolutely no news last week, but for the millionth time, there's still nothing I can do but wait.

I was expecting to hear stuff around Jan time because that was the turnaround for my UK masters program. Turns out 5 months isn't long enough to make a decision and inform applicants of it. Even the school I'm unofficially accepted at (but may not attend - waiting on funding) still hasn't sent anything official. It's so frustrating! Everyone says: be patient, you'll find out soon enough, but I don't think they really understand it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anthrostudentcyn Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I keep thinking every Monday "this will be it, I'll hear from all my programs"..... and yet I still have not heard from five. FIVE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marycaryne Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 After the rejection I received on Friday, I have managed not to check the admissions portal. It helped that it was a weekend so I wouldn't hear anything anyway, but I also haven't checked yet today so far either. I mostly just don't want to see another rejection so soon after already getting one. I do jump every time I get a new email though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theMadcap Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Hi all, I've been anxiously lurking and checking my email 20 times a day, waiting for anything from schools. Today I received my first correspondence from one and invite to recruitment and visit day for my department, but I need help interpreting it .... is this an admit or do I need to keep waiting?Although MA offers have not officially been sent out yet, we are pleased to inform you that you are high on the list of potential admits. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! That's just vague enough that you can't really bank anything on it- those kinds of things are pretty common through this process, and I have a couple of those "promising, but not an answer" responses I've gotten as well. If I were you, I'd take it at face value. You've got a good shot, but don't bet your life savings on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallen Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Starting to think ive been rejected from my first choice program. My one reject was 1 week after interview, my one acceptance was 3 days after interview. It has been a week since I interviewed for my first choice and I've heard nothing. One of the two profs said he was very optimistic about my chances, but the second person I met didn't give anything away. I've checked my email 50 times today.

chalantcop Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Has anyone heard about the next round of decisions from Columbia GSAS? I applied to the PhD program in ethnomusicology, and I haven't gotten a rejection, but I also haven't gotten an acceptance. I saw one result on the board from February but I'm assuming (hoping) that was just their first round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I left that with a boyfriend and came back with a fiance'! I'm ENGAGED lol Congrats @easybreezy! And good luck. My fiancé and I have been engaged since Valentine's Day (2015) and have less than 4 months to go before our big day! It's been a wild ride, but I am so excited!!! We're getting married in June, spending two weeks in Maui for our honeymoon, and then I'll start grad school in the fall! @gingin6789, what a cool experience!

Pokeabun Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) I wake up every morning thinking that there will be an email in my inbox... but no. Waiting stinks. I can't believe I've waited months on end for what will probably be a rejection letter. Edited March 8, 2016 by Pokeabun cloud9876 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of my results- be they acceptances or rejections- have come in the afternoon (presumably when the committees are looking at the applications). Waiting sucks, but maybe this'll help you settle your mind a bit in the mornings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
