Congrats! I know people who are doing MAs in each of those universities (one in Music and one in History) and they both love it! You have two great options to choose from!

I have yet to hear anything. sorry to everyone who was rejected and congrats again to all of the acceptances!!! You are all incredible! Nothing for me either, maybe the MA? NYU dates seems to be all over the place in the last few years so its hard to guess. brontebitch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthrostudentcyn Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I'm not an applicant in English, but a friend of mine heard last week of an acceptance at Columbia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoebusrising Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Has anyone heard an actual rejection from BC yet? I just saw that someone posted in the results forum that they contacted the department and were told their application had been forwarded to the MA program so I'm wondering if it's likely that's the case across the board or not. Unrelated - how long should one wait between receiving an acceptance and contacting the program to ask about when funding information will be coming? I heard back from a school - but not the department itself yet - and so have heard nothing about the TAship I applied for and like. I'm not a patient person by nature so I'm never sure when is appropriate to just ask such things directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had other offers that you were strongly considering, you could justify contacting them earlier, but otherwise, just remember that there's a good reason for them to do things the way they do them...especially when it comes to funding. When funding info isn't available up front, it usually means that the department is having to liaise with the Graduate School (or elsewhere), who often have their own timelines. This is especially true when fellowships are involved. Either way, it's sometimes hard to be patient, but...be patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I know, things are just a little weird to me because I had originally applied for Spring admission (and ultimately deferred to Fall because of funding, though for them deferral is not automatic admission just consideration again) and heard from the department several days before I heard from the Graduate School, but this time I haven't heard from the department at all.

It stated that if you applied for the PhD, but also noted on your application that you wanted to be considered for MA, your application would be forwarded to that program for review. Was there any change to your portal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PostmodernPendulum Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 So, I've been on grad cafe a lot over the past few months, but I've mainly been looking at the other discipline I've applied to... Just wondering..has anyone heard back from Purdue for the Rhet./comp. Master's program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't know if that's only for PhDs, or MAs too. When I was applying for the MA two years ago, I was accepted into Purdue's program on Feb. 27th; but I'm sure it varies year to year. I still haven't heard from them, so definitely assuming I'm waitlisted or rejected this time around. Hope it works out for you!!

Yanaka Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) Call me a little paranoid, but all of these latest acceptances into Ivies seem to be for the same person, and that person has a helluva choice to make Edited February 28, 2017 by Yanaka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalanched Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I was just looking at that @Yanaka. Seems like one person added the acceptances from nearly every Ivy across the past couple weeks. Lucky duck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a phone call--probably the kindest phone call of my life--from a POI this afternoon. Accepted to the PhD program in Literature, with top funding award! Waitlisted at UChicago and waiting to hear from a few more programs. Definitely excited about this option. It's a great fit for my interests (postmodernism, self-consciousness) and a location I could be happy in for many years. Any chance you know anything more about UCSC? I'm just trying to figure out if they've finished notifying or if they're still in the process! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orphic_mel528 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 A bit of light relief in the face of anxiety and disappointment here on GC: My students know I've applied for my PhD and ask me about it from time to time. I told them I hadn't heard from UW or UO yet and a kid in the back who almost never speaks very seriously says, "Maybe they're too high to tell you."

We're only a couple days past last year's notification date for them, and they're not famous for tiny cohorts where they could send offers without any GCers getting them and posting (like Vanderbilt). allywally, Dr. Old Bill and anxiousphd 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it looks like UNC simply hasn't made their decisions yet. I would imagine they'll come this week, but they've traditionally been one of the later programs to notify. No sense in assuming an implied rejection just yet! allywally and anxiousphd 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
