Most of emails and notifications happen while I'm asleep so I've been looking forward to bedtime recently. lol

It's important to feel every emotion, even the bad ones. Anxiety comes with the territory and, truthfully, I'm feeling the same way. Starting off with a rejection is really hard because it's caused me to think "what if something's wrong with my applications, overall? What if my SOPs (which I poured my heart into) talk too much about me and not enough about the programs/profs, etc etc." Finding shreds of positivity and crumbs of comfort is tough during the low times of anxiety/depression, certainly. I'm here for you, as are so many others in the thread, too <3 redhillgirl 1
HopefulSocPhD Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) I'm right there with you @redhillgirl. On the other hand, this way (not knowing anything about any decisions from anyone) gives me more time to live in the delusional fantasy world that I'm going to get into the best school ever and it's going to be super awesome and then I'll go buy a lottery ticket and win and then I'll get elected President and win America's next top model all in the same day. See, maybe schools do this to some of us to entice us to permanently move to fantasyland. It is fun here. And the colors... Just, I mean, wow.

goofylemon Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 I think I will be rejected by UNC-Chapel Hill They have not sent me any notifications, and I suspected the offers have gone.

I noticed today (while creeping on the dept website) that the details of the 2016 recruitment weekend have recently been posted in full. Makes me think admits have either already gone out or will go out very soon. Although, in past years there have been at least 5-6 people posting on the results forum, so they can't all have right??! ...right!?! I only see info about the 2015 recruitment weekend for UW Seattle. The coordinator let me know that it will be on March 4-5. I have not yet received any decision from UW btw. As for the recruitment weekend at UT Austin, the coordinator let me know that "the department will cover lodging, food and offer a travel stipend of between $200-300". Details will be sent to admitted students soon - just sharing what I know so far since there are few Austin folks on this forum. 4 hours ago, redhillgirl said: Same here - happens to every single school i apply to cos part of my legal name (im asian) was not spelt out on the gre report. But some schs just didnt bother to ask me about that and when i asked they simply sent me automated emails saying the scores shd be sent to code xxxx....not really helping. I managed to set it right for most schs but to this date i still dunno if my app to duke was even complete :/ Wisconsin kept sending me emails about missing parts of my application too. The website (MyUW) indicated my application was complete and I even sent a screenshot of that to the grad coordinator. The coordinator replied neither to my emails nor to my phone calls so even until now I am not sure if Wisconsin got all my materials. So it's nice to hear that UW did not only mishandle my application. The coming week is going to be busy. I should keep myself busy and not keep checking the forum...

I've applied to several PhD programs so if anyone has any info to share that would be fantastic! I wish you all the best and I will be sure to provide any info and insight as it comes along. Programs-- Brown University (Sociology, PhD) Harvard University (Sociology & Social Policy, Joint PhD) Yale University (Sociology & African American Studies, Combined PhD) Boston College (Sociology, PhD) Northeastern (Sociology, PhD) Boston University (Sociology, PhD) Brandeis University (Sociology, PhD) University of Georgia (Sociology, PhD) Aha! Here's my competition. Shucks, I was holding out hope that nobody applied to those programs and I'd get in easy-peasy. Way to destroy my dreams @ConsciousSteph! Edited January 28, 2016 by Shay825
Shay825 Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 18 hours ago, ConsciousSteph said: Hi Shay! Looks like we applied to some of the same schools (Harvard, Brown, BC, BU, Northeastern) which is pretty cool. It would be great to keep each other in the loop if we hear anything. Wishing you the best, I'm sure you'll have your choice of any. Thanks! I'll be diligently posting accepts/rejects as I receive them. Assuming you're a fellow Bostonian?
HopefulSocPhD Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Well, my first rejection came via website: UW Madison. goofylemon 1
gingin6789 Posted January 28, 2016 Author Posted January 28, 2016 @hopefulsocphd, I'm so sorry *big hugs* rejection really hurts. I'm here for you if you need to talk *pours you some coffee and gets you some brownies*

Shay825 Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) Anyone have predictions for today? I'm expecting (hoping) we'll hear from Vandy and possibly Northeastern sometime next week. Of the schools that I've applied to, those tend to be the earliest deciders. Edited January 28, 2016 by Shay825
DaisyGamble Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Berkeley notified on this date last year. *fingers crossed*

To me, I think UW Madison is #1 in terms of fit. I really really cannot accept what was happened, and I decided to call them after my class is over.
