I had to take a mental health break from GC and this is a delightful discussion to return to. Have any older adjuncts on here considered that they might be competing with former students for admission? That occurred to me today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chamakay Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Does anyone know if Yale and Columbia interview all potential acceptances? I'm not really holding out hope anyway, but wondering if there's any way I can figure I was rejected before officially receiving a decision. Also, has anyone received a rejection from Berkeley yet? Wish they would send those out already!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orphic_mel528 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 In all seriousness, any more buzz around Rutgers? I see 2 acceptances on the board, but nothing else. Considering the timeline, I'd think all their offers have gone out now, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish they would send those out already!! I don't think Yale does interviews. I interviewed with Columbia a couple weeks ago - it was three professors from my subfield. They state on their website that, unlike other schools who use a holistic committee made up of people from across the entire department, Columbia sends all the apps from a particular subfield to the faculty in that subfield only. This makes for a more specialized admissions process, and also means that each subfield committee probably has relative autonomy. My point: just because some subfields interviewed DOES NOT mean that all of them will, meaning there is still a chance of acceptance without interview. I should note that this is an exception: most of the time, no interview means no acceptance. zombiekeats and chamakay 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the timeline, I'd think all their offers have gone out now, no? Yeah, I'm guessing they're done. It's possible that there's an invisible waitlist, but I suspect that their definitive "we want you" offers have gone out. I'm thinking the same is true of Yale, despite the presence of only two acceptances for them as well. (Also, I wish some of the acceptances on the results board would be a bit more descriptive... It's Yale! You're allowed to gush a bit!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombiekeats Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I keep closing all my GC tabs saying to myself that I won't check my email or the results page until such-and-such a time... ...but then I log back on and obsessively refresh. chellyfish_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
