Yea I've been wondering about that program, too. That would be my dream program, but for some reason I just lost hope about it and assumed they already accepted the few people they accept and didn't send out rejections yet. But I must also say: I have no basis for that assumption...I think I am just being down since I haven't been accepted anywhere. So hopefully we hear from them very soon! Good luck!

Nat had reached out and they were pretty vague, saying that they were nearing the final round of review and would let everyone know once that finished up. Also, on the results page someone posted and said: wrote an email to admissions those waiting for PhD Social Sciences. Here's their response: "All applications are currently in final review;Official notification of decisions are made after the review of all applications and usually begins the last week of February or first week of March. All official decisions are sent by email" THE WAIT IS TORTURE!! There was another post on the results page some time later that said the decisions would be out by March 15, but it was deleted soon after. So I really don't know what to think at this point. I just want to get it all over with already. SamStone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But others seem to be silent despite sending out acceptances and waitlists. I'm pretty sure I have not heard of PhD applicants never finding out whether they've been rejected. Plenty find out late in the process, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't ever hear from some schools the last time I applied out and have anecdotal evidence from other people with the same experience.

maxhgns Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Fair enough. I didn't say it never happened, just that I hadn't heard of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gughok Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) Do we have much reason to believe that any department will hold off on their first round PhDs past this week? I'm obviously most interested in Princeton, but overall things seem to be finishing up. Edited March 2, 2016 by gughok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacbarcan Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 Stanford, Princeton, and Michigan may all release next week. I would guess that most schools (if not all) will have released by the middle of next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacbarcan Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 Well, Michigan is also all over the place. Sometimes early-Feb, sometimes late-Feb, sometimes the first week of March, and sometimes the second. SMB123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philosophe Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Also curious about CUNY. They clearly haven't made their regular acceptances / WL release yet, because that's usually a lot of posts on the results pg. Any thoughts on when they'll be doing that?

FoxAndChicken Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Michigan is on spring break right now, but I think a lot of staff are still here. Because I'm staff for the history department. And I'm here. I feel weird wandering through the philosophy department, though, since I applied to philosophy here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacbarcan Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 CUNY is a strange beast. I'll just say next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
