I reiterate: rejections do not mean you're unfit to doctoral studies, nor do acceptances mean you're awesome. I felt awful last year and I know how painful that can be, but there's always next cycle. And this one is far, very far from over. Let's keep up hope, fellas! Obrigado, @VMcJ. Considering your trajectory over these two cycles, you already have established as a role model for me - and certainly for many others. Let's wait and hope for the best. That's is what in our reach at this moment. VMcJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think as a program that revels in positive thought, they could at least give use our numbers on the waitlist so that we can make better decisions. I'm also at NYU's wait list!

Congrats to all, by the way! I'm also waiting on social thought. Based solely on past years, it looks like they come the week or so after other departments, so maybe late next week or early the week after.

HermioneWannabe Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 What are people's thoughts about Rochester? It looks like acceptances came out Feb 1 last year, but closer to mid Feb in 2014. Any inside info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I get you, but keep your head up! Don't be too concerned as of now, since they're contacting people all the way up to the 20th. I'm assuming they do this pretty slowly to give each person they're interviewing the option to choose the time of their phone call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there's the fact that I am international, so an interview would probably be on Skype rather than a phone call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VMcJ Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Just to correct something I said above: not getting interviewed does not mean rejection at Vanderbilt. There is at least one case of admission without interview from 2016 in the results page, and the email they sent everyone a couple of weeks ago does not state that every potential admitted student will be interviewed.

Yeah, that's the impression I got, as well. No email about an interview on my end. Dang, y'all, this is getting somber!!!

ugurcanevci Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Just had a very productive conversation with a faculty member from UC Irvine. It was mostly on my interests, and potential faculty members to work with. They stated that they are very favorable with my admission, and the final decisions will be made in 2 or 3 weeks. Campus visit on March 3. Gik, VMcJ, resDQ and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
