tkid86 Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Just got my UMD acceptance! Available via the application portal. No word on funding, yet. RevTheory1126, VMcJ and kwaddy 3
mstama123 Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) Y'all, I just got a rejection from a school that I did not even finish the application for after deciding I didn't want to go there ha! So much for not reviewing incomplete applications?! I guess the feeling was mutual. Edited February 21, 2017 by mstama123 electrosity 1
puddle Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 If anyone who snatched up a Yale admit would like to talk with a current grad student (5th year), please feel free to PM me. Happy to offer advice - anonymously or otherwise. Also I should note that the "list" hasn't been sent out by our department so all hope may not be lost. Back in the day I got my "admit" email at 2am on a Wednesday because my POI was in Thailand and hadn't gotten around to it before then. tkid86 1

As a current student I do have some insider info. The preliminary admit list is around 20 (more or less, I can't say) and only a number of those slots will receive funding. It is quite possible that they are only notifying those admits that were on the initial funding list, and will release the rest at a later date. I find it hard to believe with so many on the admit list that only 2 of us posted, and both of us happened to receive the funding package (assuming it is all released on the same day).

Expand Thanks for the insider info. I hope it should turn out like that. I find this program a great fit but not much hopeful as my application was weak on several counts. Despite that, though I still got two offers from SUNY Albany and Wayne State University. Neither of them is forthcoming on funding yet however. Without funding, I find little incentive to go for PHD at least for now. Even 3-4 years shoestring funding at a mid-lower tier program seems a risky adventure not only in terms of completing a degree satisfactorily but also finding a reasonable job in academia. I don't know though if my assumptions are valid, since I have not seen the future. Only heard of it. Edited February 21, 2017 by swanblack typo

HermioneWannabe Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) Still radio silence from Yale for me.... Just checked my portal, status hasn't changed either. Any ideas?? Edited February 21, 2017 by HermioneWannabe
territhemayor Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 They'll probably get to you soon enough. Yale reject here lol
VMcJ Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 I can't help myself to wonder: should I contact UNC-CH to ask about my status? Some people got their acceptances in late January, then some were rejected, and then some more got waitlisted last week, as per the results page. I think it will be a rejection, of course, but I think it's taking way longer than expected. My other schools issued acceptances recently, so I am not as worried to know those.

Anxiously Awaiting Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 @HermioneWannabe, also waiting to hear back from Yale. Is anyone else waiting to hear back?

Expand It seems that the two of us claiming the two posts are both Mason students and or alumni. So they might not have even sent out the first wave of acceptances yet. Also, Mason does send out in waves, so this is far from over. Best of luck to everyone with apps still out!
