OceansAreBlue Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 What is up with NYU? I understand that their acceptances(at least for PhD) have gone out. Any thoughts on NYU waitlist?
hotpotato Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) It's freaking me out that Irvine (Feb 4) and Davis (last weekend) have results on the board. Actually I just checked and now Riverside (last couple days) has a few up too! AUGH Like... I am not expecting good news. But I feel like once I formally get rejected (or accepted?? stranger things have happened on this earth, but probably not by much) I can focus on thinking through the next step.

The feeling is mutual =_= someone on this forum said Irvine might do their acceptances on Friday (they got accepted unofficially via phone call and emails might be Friday), and I’m hoping Riverside will send theirs out over the course of the weekend or the week at most based on some posts here. No word on Davis sadly. hotpotato 1

I think I would like to stay somewhat near home/family/friends for this whole ordeal, since I feel like I'm gonna need the heck out of my support network, but it ain't looking too good from here.

As a Californian who did my Masters at NYU and am now only applying to west coast schools -- STAY HERE LOL. My first year at NYU was the most depressed year of my life, for real. Support networks (and though it sounds still, sun) are so important.

There were things I liked about the city, but it just isn't my kind of place. When I was applying for schools this year, my first filter was to nix any program in NY. No offense, New Yorkers! I used to want a career in publishing, so I guess I'm kind of glad I switched gears. 51 minutes ago, chellyfish_ said: STAY HERE LOL. I would love to, but it's sure going to be hard if my only acceptance so far remains my only acceptance, since it's in the Midwest. If only Riverside would call me. CONGRATS on Riverside, by the way!!! chellyfish_ 1

If you don't mind my asking, what's your specialization?
hotpotato Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) @chellyfish_ Rhet/comp! I'm interested in pedagogy and the relationship between comp education in K-12 and in college, and therapeutic writing, especially in clinical contexts. Yeah, I'm sitting tight! I regret so many things about my UCR application though. I opened my SOP a minute ago to double-check who I mentioned as POIs and boy, it is capital-B Bad. It was my earliest deadline--my later apps benefited a lot from what I learned throughout the process. As much as I wish I could stay in California, a part of me is also beginning to think it's kind of a romantic idea to pack it all up and move to the Midwest. But thinking too much about it before I get results from all the other places feels so silly! Edited February 16, 2018 by hotpotato
OceansAreBlue Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Come on, Tufts. Let's hear it from you today. @punctilious

Why must you torment us?! Also, BU. I'm really wondering what's going on with them, and having looked at the lack of results listed from last year, I am nervous about the possibility of them already having sent out acceptances but we just don't know because no one else on the GC got one? hibiscus 1

You know, I almost applied to BU! But the faculty member that I was dying to work with just retired. Maybe they’re just running a bit behind this year? I don’t know when they usually post, but they could have a new administration or DGS. Anything could happen! If this year has taught me anything, it’s that it’s definitely not over until the rejection is in your inbox.

It is entirely possible that they are running behind or just have a different plan for this year, since the deadline changed from December 15 to January 5 and there is a new DGS. I do hope that we hear from them soon, though, since it is one of our top choices. E. Coronaria 1
punctilious Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Brandeis acceptance via phone on the results board. Ahhhhh! Good thing my husband and I are both home today so I can make sure his phone is on lol. Fingers crossed! a_sort_of_fractious_angel and OceansAreBlue 1 1

punctilious Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Where are my fellow Brown applicants? Could anyone give insight into what's going on? We have heard nothing--is it possible that there may be another round of acceptances or possibly waitlists on the horizon?
unicornsarereal Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 I got an email @punctilious I'm not sure if wait lists have gone out? I doubt there are more acceptances

Edit: I see now that someone from last year's cycle had to call Brown to inquire about their application status because they hadn't heard anything by mid-late March, and Brown informed them they'd been rejected. I really do not want to deal with something like that. It sucks that it's now the weekend, because he can't call to ask. Edited February 16, 2018 by punctilious

hibiscus Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 NYU and CUNY applicants what is your feel?
