The0ry Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Is anyone still waiting for Brown? I still didn't receive anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphwiththeconch Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Claiming a UPenn admission (FYI for others, visiting day is March 24 and the email said that there were 300+ applicants for ~10 slots) Also, any intel on whether UChicago is done? I haven't heard anything yet from them and it's making me antsy. kwaddy and international_IR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphwiththeconch Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 @jazzmintea ah thanks for that reminder, I've heard that they often do that (a Master's unfortunately wouldn't be ideal for me). Do you know if they are done with their PhD acceptances? I'm thinking that, given that some superstar folks have multiple offers, we might be waiting for second rounds from schools once first round offers have been turned down...

Think I saw someone mention in the Results section that there is no wait list... So I guess it's either rejection or offer from CIR....and I won't be accepting CIR offer for sure.

guest56436 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Chicago is most definitely done. They are one of those programs that doesn't send rejections for a long time...although IIRC there were a couple of doctoral admits in previous years with the rejection waves so who knows.

ralphwiththeconch Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 @Comparativist bummer. I did see that string of acceptances on the results board a while back and figured the chances were dim. From what I've learned in this process, research "fit" with the department seems to be everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received an acceptance email and letter from the department last week, yesterday the formal offer from the university was updated on the portal.

Looking at the results board CUNY seems to be late in the cycle usually. Georgetown I have no idea. And come on Northwestern.

meteora Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I also received a rejection from Northwestern last night. It looks the department just needed time to upload rejection letters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dih2 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Has anyone who got accepted to Yale heard more details about the visiting weekend? Is it funded? I just know the dates, but have heard nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that will shed some light on when we can all expect to hear by. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibica Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 @HermioneWannabe I know someone in AP who was rejected. It could be that no one who uses this site got an offer for AP? I only say that because I've already gotten my official letter and in previous years Yale sent those all out at once. However, visiting days are quite late (April 4-6) so they may have some stuff to sent out still? I'm not sure how likely that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just weird to me that some rejections have gone out and I haven't heard anything yet, especially since they're known for sending everything out back to back.

Also, just to repeat, are these visiting days funded? I need to figure things out financially if not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It included funding, did it not? My first email from ad comm also included details on the funding package. I haven't received anything else about the visiting days but I'm sure it's funded. I did get info about diversity recruitment days (3/26-7) but won't be able to attend. That one offered a $400 travel voucher (they scheduled your travel) and put you with graduate students for that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphwiththeconch Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I think I'm in the same boat as @HermioneWannabe - waiting for AP and it's driving me nuts! But visit days in April seem very late. HermioneWannabe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It included some vague language "fellowship for the first 2 years, TA the next 2 years, dissertation fellowship after that" But I was hoping for some specificity (especially on compensation during the years when you teach.) I also understand yale is going through this grad student unionization debate. Does anyone know of an objective source of information for how that might effect future grad students? How could funding packages change? What would union dues look like? How would it effect ability to work as an RA, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
