pubpol101 Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) This has whole affair has been rather disappointing... In any case, I called Yale GSAS today and they said that "it's not a technical issue" (referring to the lack of an upload to ApplyYourself). They stated that while GSAS may have received decisions, and that GSAS itself has not uploaded decisions just yet for Yale Jackson. UPDATE: An administrative assistant at Jackson stated that "there was some confusion" on GSAS's part on the timeline to release all materials. It was "her understanding" that emails were sent out to admitted students (no indication on specifically all admits) and that letters were put in the mail as well. Edited March 8, 2016 by AAAAAAAA

They added a post on Facebook welcoming the newly admitted students. Though it felt weird to me that only one person added their result to the Results page. Honestly, I am not sure what to think anymore (though not very hopeful this will change anything for me)
pubpol101 Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 I just received a rejection. Email came through from ApplyYourself and the decision was posted on the application site as well.

rrrruoyao Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 am waitlisted. I'm going to see this as a "no" though.. can't think of anybody who'd turn down Jackson
Danbrenn Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 They passed on me as well. Congrats to everyone who got in! Obviously a great program, just super disappointed with their professionalism/tact towards the end of my experience with them.
AimHigh Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Got an email to login online to see letter. Rejected. It was a long shot to begin with. Congrats to all who got in though!
pyrhuss Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Anyone else who was admitted and was contacted by a 2nd year student? Yet, still nothing official or word on funding... it's kinda strange

Yet, still nothing official or word on funding... it's kinda strange Nope, no 2nd year students reached out to me yet. It's indeed a bit weird how responses are being managed from Yale. I have a feeling the Jackson Institute and GSAS might be having coordination issues which is affecting responses to students. Anyways, keeping fingers crossed at the moment! Will post as soon as I get any update from the school. Edited March 9, 2016 by Shadowscholar123
Ejc5ys Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 I got a call from a student--he and I are speaking this afternoon.

The student who was assigned to you is probably busy. Don't worry, you're already in! The hard part is over! I applied from abroad and would be surprised to get an international call from a current student... Would greatly appreciate if anyone who does speak with a student/admissions could share info! Did you all already reply to the initial email?
Ejc5ys Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 I replied! Have not heard back from Cristin Siebert, but didn't expect to--I just wanted to thank her for the good news! I'll let you know what I learn from the current student. Perhaps more relevantly, I called GSAS admissions, and apparently their only advice is "it's coming" and the letter should be up by Friday on the portal. Hope this is helpful!!
Shadowscholar123 Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) Hehe.. Thanks for the encouraging words Colocho. I am just concerned about funding now Yes I did reply to the initial email but no response yet. Edited March 9, 2016 by Shadowscholar123

Thanks for sharing Ejc5ys
Ejc5ys Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Sounds like financial information will be included in our acceptance letter. That might be part of the delay in the delivery through the portal, at least according to the student that I spoke to!
pyrhuss Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 If you log into ApplyYourself, what does it say about the date of completion? For some strange reason it says "Your application was completed on 3/9/2016 1:55:00 AM", so yesterday.
Ejc5ys Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 Same...maybe it's them receiving the letter from Jackson, and prepping an upload?
Ejc5ys Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 Mine is up--I got full tuition and a stipend for living, so I will DEFINITELY be in New Haven next year!! Hope to see y'all there!
Shadowscholar123 Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) Wow! Congratulations Ejc5ys! I got no fellowship support however so I'm kind of heart broken. I'll have a discussion with Cristin to see what can be arranged. Almost feels like a rejection when you don't get any funding support. I am waiting to hear back from Fletcher tomorrow; I might just have to give up on Yale if Fletcher gives me a competitive offer. Edited March 10, 2016 by Shadowscholar123

pyrhuss Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Anyone heading to the Admitted Students Weekend and would mind sharing their impressions afterwards?
