These are becoming less and less informative. This morning I was thinking maybe someone was fucking with me but then Gurtler emailed me back with a copy of the letter I *should* have gotten, dated Feb. 19. But I've also gotten an email from a grad student looking to set me up for the recruitment week. How many people do they normally accept? Quoted the wrong person. Whatevs. Edited February 25, 2016 by MVSCZAR
bechkafish Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Just heard back from Gurtler (that was fast!) - no BC for me, but he also didn't give me any real indication of what other applications shoulde expect. It was implied that finalists have already been notified, and that it was strange that I hadn't yet received my rejection, but that seems strange - only two acceptances on gradcafe?

I'm sorry to hear that, but I'm glad they didn't keep you waiting. I'm wondering if something is up with USPS.

jacbarcan Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Gotten a request to contact Pitt about the HPS program. I'm asking my buddies but they probably wont know much. Maybe you could call?

Nat_Foot Posted February 26, 2016 Author Posted February 26, 2016 @personagrata I don't think most people have (including myself).

Same So, MIT said they might finish up today, and nobody's posted an acceptance since then... so either the person(s) remaining didn't know about gradcafe, or I still have a chance...
notorious_biv Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) I just spoke with someone at Pitt HPS. She said that notifications (most likely email notifications) should be out in a week or two. Also, the dept. usually aims for an incoming class of 3-5 students.

Nat_Foot Posted February 26, 2016 Author Posted February 26, 2016 Just to add more details about my call to MIT yesterday... I called about 4:45 EST, after all the decisions from yesterday had been posted. I asked the secretary if all acceptances had been released. I was transferred to someone else, who put me on hold for a minute or two after I repeated the question. When she came back, she said that they'd be done today or tomorrow; they're not sure what their schedule is yet. As of yesterday, I thought there was a good chance that they weren't done, based on what the person I spoke with said. I still think there's a good chance there will be some calls today, but there are 4 or 5 acceptances posted already (I said 4 or 5 because I'm not sure if the person who got a missed call later added the details of their acceptance). If you don't hear by the end of the day, you probably weren't accepted... but there's still wait list. The suspense is killing me too.

They really did let me know early. Perhaps decisions just started. Although, I feel like they just kinda say that. I called the classics dept for a friend a few days ago and they said late March/ early April and I was like, okayyyyy. And the next day there was a CUNY classics admit on grad cafe.

They'll say 1-2 weeks and then release within the next 2 days lol.
AmandaEvans Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 @Nat_Foot perhaps your calling them helps move them along?
