pubpol101 Posted March 8, 2016 Share 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.

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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pubpol101 Posted March 8, 2016 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rrrruoyao Posted March 8, 2016 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danbrenn Posted March 8, 2016 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AimHigh Posted March 8, 2016 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrhuss Posted March 9, 2016 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ejc5ys Posted March 9, 2016 Share 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!!

Ejc5ys Posted March 9, 2016 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrhuss Posted March 10, 2016 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ejc5ys Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Same...maybe it's them receiving the letter from Jackson, and prepping an upload? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadowscholar123 Posted March 10, 2016 Share 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.
