sociological Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Does PSU interview all students...? And any estimate on how many students Wisconsin takes on?

johnallen Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) Official rejection letter from Penn State. I knew it was coming. Hope the two interviews I have work out. Edited January 25, 2017 by johnallen Spelling

Hopefully things will turn around soon though! Same here! I hate being judged by who I am on "paper", when my interests, background, achievement, and potential don't always translate to the level that they should. That being said, congrats to everyone who did get in today! Tomorrow's a new day, and hopefully we'll both see our first acceptances soon! HighlyCaffeinated and baozi 2

I'm still waiting to hear from UNC as well...in looking through the results page, they have sent out admission offers a couple days apart in previous years, so I'm trying to hold on to hope.

Through email? What does this mean or those who have heard nothing? Sorry to hear; keep hopes high (and backup plans higher, as I say ).
socionerdette Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 Didn't get an email from UT-Austin so I bet I'll be receiving the rejection soon. Rough way to start the decision season since it was my first choice. =[ For those who were accepted, did your status change on the website? Here's to holding out a teeny bit of hope since they seemed to send acceptances over two days last year...
shaodiao Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 waiting for UNC and UT Austin as well, anyone contacted the program yet?

First, I am sorry. Best of luck on your interviews! At least you have the chance (I've gotten one rejection and otherwise heard nothing). How did you hear from Penn? E-mail or postal? I just checked the website so it isn't there. Thanks for the info and best of luck! johnallen 1

My mentor, a sociology prof, said to me today after I got rejected from Berkeley, "Bummer. But listen I've seen this from the inside. Fit is everything and lots of randomness on top of that. Nothing about admissions should be interpreted as about your long term potential or talent..." Hopefully that helps you feel better.

Thanks for the info and best of luck! I heard from Penn State in the post. Of the ten PhD programs I applied to, I have been officially rejected by 3 (Kent and Penn State, U of Wisconsin), because it's so late in Jan, I seriously doubt I will get more interviews.

anthrostudentcyn Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 anyone else get an interview at rutgers?
AmityDuPeuple Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 I still have heard nothing from North Carolina State, U of Washington, CU Boulder, UC San Diego, Yale, or Harvard. Has anyone else heard anything? I am slightly worried that they will all be rejections as I haven't been contacted for an interview from any of them. Maybe this is a stupid question, but don't most PhD programs interview students they are serious about?
oldacct Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 To those asking, I haven't heard anything from the following schools: UW-Madison, Brown, UC San Diego, or Harvard.

Keithkwok Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) Just heard from UIUC that I am accepted. However, the email says nothing about funding. I assume that it is an offer with no funding, as I am aware I am an international applicant who fails to meet their TOEFL requirement (they demand at least 24 for the TOEFL spoken module but I scored 22 only). Sad. Will definitely not go to US without full funding. Edited January 25, 2017 by syf08678
