mads47 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Idk if this is relevant for anyone else, but I think Penn State will be starting to notify MA and Ph.D. acceptances in the next week. They sent out their first acceptances on 1/27 last year and on 1/18 the year prior, and the application portal has said for at least a week now that they are currently under review. Unfortunately, it looks like there is a large gap between when they notify their acceptances and their rejections, so we might have to wait a long time still.

la_mod Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I know that someone had posted saying that Columbia is running behind, but I think that -- if they do interviews -- they should be sending emails about it in the coming days. I received mine exactly one year and one day ago! Let the email refreshing begin... mads47 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've applied to their rhet/comp program, but I think they're one that sends them all (rhet/comp, lit, etc.) together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crow T. Robot Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Anyone else waiting out Stanford MTL? And @WildeThing, I see you also applied to Berkeley Rhetoric--any clue when we could hear back? Seems like their window fluctuates wildly from year to year...

Mellowyellow Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) @Crow T. Robot my friend also applied MTL. You two seem to be on a similar theory wavelength! They haven't gotten any news yet. Edited January 25, 2018 by Mellowyellow Crow T. Robot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got them down for late March, hopefully I’m wrong, seeing as it is a smaller program and had an early deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I was confused by the app portal, as it seems like the info on mine (on the "Checklist" at least) is 2 years old. Did Stanford mark your app "Complete" yet? Mine is still "Incomplete" and it still gives me anxiety, despite their messaging re. not worrying about that status and them reaching out to applicants they still need materials from...

Right, looks like they were late March last year (much to Gradcafe posters' dismay it seems) but early February in 2016. What a range......

Yep, mine's "incomplete" too, even though all the components on the checklist are marked as received. Maybe it means the review process is incomplete? Or maybe it's just that technology is prone to errors. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice to hear from Delaware and Boston College, as they should be next on our notification list! Maryland would be wonderful but it’s still pretty early—they said we would hear by February 1.

I would assume that date was for interviewees specifically. as it’s what the DGS said during my husband’s interview. I’m not totally sure whether all accepted/waitlisted applicants are interviewed for Maryland, however. I believe that is how it worked in past years, though I could be wrong!

Dogfish Head Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) I just had an extensive conversation with my elderly great aunt about the anxiety that comes with waiting for acceptances/rejections, but she assured me that she has been praying for me so I should be good. Despite not being religious at all, I found this very sweet. Also, Penn State should be notifying today or tomorrow which will be my first for sure acceptance or rejection. Does anyone know if they traditionally inform people rejected at the same time that they notify those who have been accepted?

Base on past years, it looks like they do their acceptances in 3-4 waves and then do their rejections in a couple waves I have also been freaking out, because I feel like it's my best shot of getting in anywhere.

Yeah, I feel you. The program is a crazy good fit for me, and, because of the nature of the program, I probably would not have a good shot of getting in after I got a Masters degree from another institution.
