Nope - not since i checked last Friday. Yeah, their spring break goes until tomorrow, but typically staff/faculty don't get break off just because students do (beyond not having classes). Hope they email you soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shit happens, life goes on. We tried. They probably just don't have enough funding available for international students. I am just worried because York was my safe school.

I'm just hoping one of us gets it, so at least the other knows. Because if it's neither of us, it will be just that our applications dont update at all most likely.

This is my top choice and the best fit for me out of all the programs I've researched. Please, if you get an admit and are thinking of accepting an offer somewhere else, decline your admit to UW-Madison as soon as possible so a spot can open up for me. <3 I will be forever thankful. Hi, Cabraloca. This is Anzi. I also applied for the GWS MA program at UM-Madison. But till now I haven't received any message from them. Would you like share some details with me about the "waitlist" you mentioned before? I am really anxious. Just got the rejection from Cultural and Social analysis dpt. in NYU.

BettyKatze Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Has anyone heard anything more from Stony Brook? Last I heard, they still had some acceptances to send. I'm still waiting to hear from 4 schools, and now that February is coming to an end the outlook doesn't feel too good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I saw that those being considered for additional fellowships got notified. I'm hoping there's still an acceptance or two waiting for me out there somewhere! Maybe since you haven't even received an official letter, there's still some hope for me. I felt pretty confident in all my applications this year, but it hasn't been a kind season for me.

Just got the rejection from Cultural and Social analysis dpt. in NYU. Sure. I got an email from the Director of Graduate Studies saying they are short on funding, but that I'm at the top of the waitlist. This means they already sent out admits to a group, they're waiting to hear back and if one of the candidates has alternate plans, they will call people on the waitlist. I don't know the exact rank, they just said "at the top". They also asked to set up a phone interview which will be happening tomorrow. And they said they should inform me of an opening before or by April 15th. I think at this point it would be perfectly okay to call the school and ask the program if all admits and waitlists have been sent. And check the portal again just in case! Best of luck!

appleandpear Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 @Liiahhhh you haven't heard anything further from York have you? still nothing for me, I was so hoping we'd hear for sure by now, but i guess maybe not hearing again is a for sure no now? ugh.

Nope. I can't handle all this waiting anymore ? McMaster sent their email around 3pm Toronto time so I don't know. There's hope for today but honestly, I'm already looking into Plan B's at this stage. If McMaster and York don't want me, UBC will say no for sure. ☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I told UBC that I don't necessarily rely on funding (and as far as I know internationals only get $3000 tuition scholarships max anyways) so maybe that helps. ? We'll find out soon. Or never. Probably never if it continues like this. I'm thinking about sending another email to York but I don't want to bother them ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah not needing full funding should hopefully open up options. Yeah, I was considering contacting them again today too. It sucks that to get results it can feel like one is being such a bother to those working there. kekology4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She said that if the offer is not accepted, then they'll contact the next person on the list but that she doesn't have access to that waitlist. They have two weeks to respond.
