SocPhDreamer Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Hi Everyone! I contacted UCLA grad admissions and they let me know they are still reviewing applications but they should notify everyone within two weeks. Just wanted to share the information! DaisyGamble and Lemontea45 2

It took them until very recently to put his profile up on the sociology faculty site, but he was listed in the 'new faculty' part of the main NYU website for some time. I was also confused about that, sorry i didn't think to offer up the information when I worked out what was going on (if I am right, that is!)

He is also still listed (currently) on Princeton faculty page.. In general though, is this sort of faux pas an automatic ding, or are us young, naive applicants given a pass? (assuming there are at least 1 or 2 other relevant faculty members on or recently hired)
reify_this Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Claiming my first acceptance at NC State! First school I applied to that I've heard a decision from. Such a relief to have at least one acceptance under my belt now! Shay825, mrbmrbmrb and JTM61 3

First school I applied to that I've heard a decision from. Such a relief to have at least one acceptance under my belt now! High five, NC State buddy! I misspelled the admissions chair's name in my response though. I was too excited. I can't believe I misspelled his name. I apologized in another email but I'm so embarrassed. My prof who went to NC State said "haha. it's ok. that's funny." when I told her though, so hopefully the chair thinks it's a funny typo, too O_O;; The recruitment visit falls over a conference I'm presenting at, so I asked the chair if he thought it was a good idea for me to just leave the conference early or schedule another visit to NC State. If I do leave the conference early, I'll see you there, reify <3
rar23de Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 About DiMaggio, I contacted him a couple of months ago and he let me know that he was retiring to NYU this year. This is why I did not apply to Princeton. Did anyone hear from Berkeley or Duke? Â

Port Lake Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 I, too, made the DiMaggio mistake. There are other faculty I'm interested in at Princeton (and the program, in itself). I just hope the admissions committee look past my DiMaggio paragraph.

goofylemon Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) Don't really want to disrupt the peace here, but Penn is sending out some interviews. ***Update: Based on the statistics, this week we have less decisions coming out compared to last two weeks and the next two weeks. Maybe I am biased based on the programs I am applying to. *** Edited February 1, 2016 by goofylemon
