dagnabbit Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Also claiming a Davis admit! Nice confidence booster after a few rejections. Big congrats to everybody who has received good news so far. Another thing - the congeniality and camaraderie displayed by the people in this thread makes me feel optimistic about our field. Here's to hoping that we all become friendly acquaintances, collaborators, and even coauthors in the future. The only schools left on my list are Stanford, Columbia, and Michigan - obviously an admission from any of these would make my decision an easy one, but I am very content with my current options. Good luck to everybody still waiting for good news! RevTheory1126, correlatesoftheory, VMcJ and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This forum is one of the few places left on the internet which did not become nasty over time. I hope grad school have at least an ounce of the helpfulness displayed here by total strangers.

bobafett Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Congrats to everyone who got good news, and best of luck to those who are still waiting! It's a bit late, but I'm claiming another Princeton acceptance. I'm thrilled, but school hasn't started yet and I'm already feeling some very real impostor syndrome. Princeton was the first school I've heard from; Northwestern is most likely a no at this point. I'm still waiting to hear back from others, particularly Yale and Chicago.

guest56436 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) So is that it for UNC? I can't get a handle on this program. Edited February 2, 2017 by Comparativist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impossible to say, but last year they trickled in and I don't see why this year should be different. Some people got phone calls and the letters are pretty personalized w/ funding offer, so I suspect it will take longer for them all to be sent out (compared to a generic email to all those admitted).

changeisgood Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I too would like to send out my appreciation for the collegiality on this board. With one exception, it's been very helpful and soaking up all this knowledge and experience helped me improve my own file enough, so that at this point I at least know I'm going somewhere with a good fit! Need the Big 10 schools to start dropping so I can finalize my choices. correlatesoftheory 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
concrema Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Hi everyone. I got several acceptances and rejections and wanna share these. * Accepted: University of Arizona(TA or RA / 15000$ per year for 5 years + one-time 5000$), Rutgers(TA or RA / 25000$ per year for four years + summer mentoring offer 3000$), SUNY at Albany(funding not yet decided and will come out in the next few weeks), U.C. Davis(funidng not yet decided and will come out in the next few days) * Interview: USC, Michigan State. * Rejected or implied rejections: GWU, Emory, Austin, Northwestern, WashU, Berkeley And, I am wondering 1) if those who got admitted to Davis were notified of any information about funding. 2) if there is anyone who is having an interview or already has done it. (Is this for some kinda double-check after actual decisions have already been made or for dropping the candidates from their short-list?

swanblack Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Congratulations for all of them. I am wondering if the decisions are out at SUNY Albany. When and how did you hear? Was it email or website check? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oakeshott Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) Keeping my fingers crossed for Chicago today! Does anyone have any insider info on Stanford, Columbia, or MIT? Any chance we'll get a Princeton-style surprise this week? Edited February 2, 2017 by oakeshott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallflower8 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Hello everyone, I've been a serious lurker on this thread for the longest time. I must admit, all of you have really kept me going during this period of uncertainty. The wait is killing. Congratulations to all those who've received admits already! Just wondering if anyone has received any email from the committee at Vanderbilt post the email sent out regarding the timeline etc. Anyway, good luck to all!

Jimjimjim Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Just finished my interview with Emory. They said that decisions are going to be made from this week, and probably notifications will be sent in the next two weeks. I know it's a long time span so maybe it's not really helpful, but that's all I've heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagnabbit Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I would not worry about Columbia yet. It's still about a week early for them, and they haven't been claimed on the forum. I don't know about you all, but if I got into Columbia I would definitely: 1. Call my parents 2. Start selling plasma regularly to be able to afford NYC rent 3. Share the good news on this board Let's assume that the posts are trolls until proven non-trolls. jazzmintea, Gik, BillyJoel182 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took a look at last cycle, and it seems like they trickled out last time too. If I'm not mistaken, the first result was posted on Feb 8 and the last on March 1.
