MCinephile Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 @AMStudent 4 years funding, official offer soooooon! wisdomspeaks and JointPhD-Social Work Guy 2
wisdomspeaks Posted February 11, 2016 Author Posted February 11, 2016 @MCinephile congrats !!!!!!!! That's so exciting. I think you might be the first to hear back! @MAnthroAA I have not heard back and have not spoken with anyone who has, but it'll be any day now... MCinephile and JointPhD-Social Work Guy 2
JointPhD-Social Work Guy Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 @MCinephile So happy for you !!! That is amazing !!!! @MAnthroAA I can confirm tgat I have also heard nothing. But I am sure soon. I think I will add to the good news, maybe collective good news will help everybody get in to a school they end up really enjoying. Yesterday I received my acceptance letter from Wayne State University!!! Funding will be unclear for a week or two, they have to apply for their students to receive funding after acceptance. I think they will push hard since they are a newer program and so far have onky admitted 1-3 per year. So very excited! Stress has all but gone. Sincerest good luck to all of you!! You are all amazing! SWstudent, CrimsonEyes, MCinephile and 1 other 4
SWstudent Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 Great to hear @JointPhD-Social Work Guy! JointPhD-Social Work Guy 1
wisdomspeaks Posted February 12, 2016 Author Posted February 12, 2016 @JointPhD-Social Work Guy I was hopeful that was your post on the results page!!!!! See, you didn't have to go with your worst case scenario after all. This is awesome and I bet you can rest easy now that you know you're headed somewhere great JointPhD-Social Work Guy and SWstudent 2
MrsKozee Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 Check your email people, I just got my UCLA acceptance email!!! Double Bruin for life!!! wisdomspeaks 1
wisdomspeaks Posted February 14, 2016 Author Posted February 14, 2016 @MrsKozee I haven't gotten anything from them and I applied there. I am happy you got in. The human rights focus shines through everything about their program. Unfortunately, for me, my application there was a bit of an afterthought and I'm not too hopeful I'll get accepted. I don't think enough faculty focus on my specific interests. There are overlaps but it's not the best fit and I would choose UB (where I have already received an acceptance and full funding--I got the fellowship I was nominated for btw, everyone... But I've been too focused on all the recent rejections) over UCLA. It's a great program though and I'm glad the acceptances are going to people who deserve it It's a shame I don't think it'd be the best fit for me because I do love their program overall!

JointPhD-Social Work Guy Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 @wisdomspeaks & @MCinephile thanks!! I enjoy that this thread is so supportive and most people have been accepted into awesome programs! MCinephile and wisdomspeaks 2
MrsKozee Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 @wisdomspeaks, it sounds like you are good to go!! Congrats sweetie!! ??? wisdomspeaks 1
Happysoul Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 @MrsKozee, @JointPhD-Social Work Guy , @MAnthroAA Hey Guys, Congratulations everyone. Good to see great news coming in from everyone JointPhD-Social Work Guy, wisdomspeaks and MAnthroAA 3
Mingyang Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 @saraisabel118 I applied for their PhD program and received the acceptance letter on Feb. 02.
wisdomspeaks Posted February 17, 2016 Author Posted February 17, 2016 Hey everyone! So I saw some rejections and waitlists went out today for U-M social work/sociology. I'm wondering who these were for. I didn't get anything yet... But I'm not getting my hopes up that that's good news! I am hoping I hear back tomorrow. Anyone else hear back yet this week? My only update is a rejection (last week) for University of Chicago.
MCinephile Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 @wisdomspeaks I got an e-mail rejection from UM saying they only accept 8 people/year and it was highly competitive this year. I'm so glad this came after I had already accepted somewhere else!!
thegibson Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 I was rejected at Chicago last week, and wait-listed at UM today. Holding out hope for Wisconsin, from whom I've heard nothing thus far...
SWstudent Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 I got rejected from Boston College @wisdomspeaks, so if you weren't perhaps they're still thinking about you!!! wisdomspeaks 1
wisdomspeaks Posted February 17, 2016 Author Posted February 17, 2016 Hi @AMStudent I haven't heard anything yet, but there is still time to be rejected!!!
wisdomspeaks Posted February 18, 2016 Author Posted February 18, 2016 @MCinephile I have joined your team as of today! @thegibson There is still hope left for you, at least lol Still. I am seriously happy that I have one acceptance, even though it's a meager 1/5... A second ago I was like, "3 more rejections to go!" and my girlfriend was like, "could ya rephrase that or something? Damn." MCinephile and JointPhD-Social Work Guy 2
JointPhD-Social Work Guy Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 @MCinephile and @wisdomspeaks I too have joined that party! Actually I was quite relieved not to have to make a decision between heart and money. Good luck you lot! I know yo will all make this planet we live on a better place, one way or another ? wisdomspeaks and SWstudent 2
MCinephile Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 Goooooooo team!!! I look forward to seeing you at conferences!! We are the change we believe in <3 wisdomspeaks 1

Damn." Sorry to hear about the rejection from UM. It seems like a pretty tough place to find a way into. For what it's worth, my (uninformed / conjectural) sense is that probably few people if any make it off the waitlist. Congrats to those of you with plans for the fall--it's quite exciting! I take it that no one has heard anything from UW-Madison this week? Its radio silence from them, which is quite agonizing. wisdomspeaks 1
wisdomspeaks Posted February 20, 2016 Author Posted February 20, 2016 Hey @thegibson I think what you are sensing is pretty accurate. A lot of people want that joint doctoral program! As pretentious and annoying as U-M is, I'm wondering if I would have turned down the chance to earn soc/social work doctoral degrees simultaneously. Probably not. not sure if you've been around the other thread, but I did get a rejection from UW-Madison's MSW/PhD program in late January. If you're still in the game at this point, it's probably a good sign.
SWstudent Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 Hi Everyone, I wanted to let you know I got invited to USC's Campus Visit as a finalist! I am elated as this was my top choice program! Hope people are getting some good news too! wisdomspeaks 1
wisdomspeaks Posted February 23, 2016 Author Posted February 23, 2016 I'm happy for you I didn't get anything so I'm assuming that means I was rejected, unless they don't send out those notifications all at once. I'm assuming they probably do.
