lapeliroja Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Hey guys. Long -time lurker to this thread; first time posting. Anyone have any recent news from Hopkins or UNC? I know at this point it's probably wait-list or rejection from both, but if anyone knows anything more I'd love to hear! Also, do most schools send out decisions no matter what by March 15th, or did I make that up? Thanks in advance everyone, and many congrats to all who have been accepted!

April 15th is like the national commitment day I think
123letsgo Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 If anyone applied to Harvard's sociology and social policy or government and social policy, I just got an email back from them saying all accepted and waitlisted applicants were notified yesterday

Basically, I'm wondering what the "normal" latest date is for a notification from a school. I potentially have a really good Plan B option, but I'll need to let them know ASAP. I don't really want to bug the departments, but I'm thinking I might have to if I don't hear anything after today.

I'd suggest taking a look at the results section to see when each school you've applied to sends out notifications based on previous years. That way you know if a school is usually really slow, or is doing something weird this year.

reify_this Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 Did anyone hear anything from Vanderbilt this week by chance? Or have any new info on when their acceptance/final rejection decisions might be going out? This late into the admission cycle, I'm starting to get a tad bit nervous/paranoid my admission decision somehow never reached me...The only thing really keeping me going is that so few others have heard anything definite either

MaxWeberHasAPosse Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 declined Yale for UCLA. Hope it helps someone who might be on the waitlist. Yale's fantastic, and one would be lucky to go there. sociologyapp and pi515 2

Therefore, that may have played a role in getting accepted later then most Sociology applicants. I also am awaiting word from a combined Ph.D. program (Philosophy and Psychology) from Yale. On the one hand, if I were rejected by the Philosophy department, my application would never have made it over to the Psychology department. On the other hand, all those acceptance calls went out a long time ago. :/ Edited March 6, 2016 by ptmohr

Applied: Kent State University and University of Cincinnati Accepted: Kent State Waitlisted: Cincinnati I received funding from Kent State, but after visiting I will likely be declining my offer. Just not the best fit for me. During the visit the chair mentioned that there were three others who received funding and didn't come to the visit. They had other offers and he is expecting them to turn down their offers at Kent. The funding package is 15,500 for 9 months and renewable for 5 years. Grad students said it is livable for the area. Hope that helps! Edited March 7, 2016 by SNW373 grammar
ConsciousKid Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Any of those who have been accepted by Yale – Did your official acceptance letter (w/ details and funding information) come via e-mail or through the postal service? Thanks in advance!

One of my professors heard from Purdue on April 17th, and I have heard it is fairly common to hear back from schools that late. I was also told, from a professor at one of the programs I was accepted, that if you accept an offer from your second choice and get accepted after April 15th to your first choice it's okay to go back to the second choice school and ask to revoke your contract (as long as you do it professionally) so you can accept the offer from your first choice school.
