It seems like Northwestern has sent them out on the 3rd Thursday of February for the last 2-3 years. That would be the 16th this year if it holds true. Not a huge sample size; and I know it's weird that I thought about it that obsessively. c11m07 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncomingPhD2017 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I didn't hear anything from Duke, and there's no change in my status on their website. 2 hours ago, montanem said: I feel your pain, yesterday I was rejected from 2 programs. It'll get better. We only need one place to say yes, right? Also no news at all from PennState all season, should I assume rejection? I generally think that if rejections and acceptances have been sent out for a given school yet you've heard nothing, then congrats, you're on the waitlist. That's how I'm thinking about Duke, at least. I see no other reason why they wouldn't send a rejection. I'm open to other ideas tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Duke I'm guessing they just didn't send out all the news today, in years past decisions were sent out over several days. With PennState I'm gunna hope you are right haha I'd rather be waitlisted than rejected out right Good luck to you w/ Duke too- maybe we'll both hear positively from there. I could really use some good news next week. Edited February 4, 2017 by montanem spelling 1too3for5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One question, did the letter state the program was "Sociology and Demography"? It's Sociology on the letter! Sorry for the ambiguous information. But I will definitely go for the dual degree if I go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have and I haven't heard anything yet. There aren't any acceptances or rejections on the results board yet. It seems like they might send them out in two waves about a week apart, but each year is slightly different. I think we should be hearing from them some time next week.

suisui Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 14 hours ago, WorldPeaceMaker2010 said: Oh follow-up to my post yesterday when I got an informal dept. letter saying I was going to be admitted at Uconn. Right now I nice email from one of the profs that I had said I would like to work with. Basically just a congrats from her, saying she just heard the news and was excited to work with me, and had been very impressed with my application, and to contact her if I had questions or wanted to come visit soon. I know a few years ago the dept. didn't have such a great reputation, but I've heard only good things in the last few years... and honestly both my emails so far have been really nice and welcoming. Anyone know any current street rumors about the dept.? Curious about what "good" things have you heard about the department at UConn? Mind to share?

Mostly about the approachability of profs, and their willingness to help you for the most part, strong encouragement to present papers at conferences, they tend to have quite a large international body in comparison with many other state universities, the past few years they've gotten quite notable relationships going with other institutes suisui 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say they're good since you had an interview, but not a done deal. They definitely asked me some difficult questions, but I was told I answered them well. We'll see! I asked what it would be like going from here, and they gave me no sense for when they'd send out offers. I'd guess it'll be three or maybe even four weeks, but who knows? Hi I'll be interviewing UVA next week and do you have tips or advice on that since you've already done the interview? Anything will be great. Thank you in advance!

LAG6 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Just heard back from Rutgers: admitted, but waitlisted for funding. This is one of my top choices and I can't go without being funded, so I really hope the waitlist moves fast. csot and HighlyCaffeinated 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYU probably won't notify admitted applicants until next week (or the week after that). In 2016, acceptances were sent out on February 11th. In 2015, acceptances were sent out on February 9th.

I'm not expecting to hear back from Stony Brook for a little while longer because the deadline was so late. I applied to both schools too though- what are your research interests?

THS Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Ok this week I hope not for just news, but for good news! Hope everyone takes a break today and enjoys some beer, friends, and hopefully funny commercials (if you are like me and could care less about the game). And then best wishes to us all Monday morning CrimSociology, oldacct, mcpphu and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
