somethingcreative Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Hi, all! Congratulations on all of your acceptances! This is my first time posting. I just got my acceptance to Miami University yesterday! I'm curious if it's normal to receive a portal decision prior to an email from the DGS? I haven't received any emails but have a decision letter on my portal. It's from the graduate school director and does not mention any details about funding. Any ideas on this? methodinmadness, positivitize and KikiDelivery 3

Expand Yes, it happens sometimes -- that was the case for my acceptance at OSU: it changed on the portal and I didn't receive an email from the DGS until a full day later. So you should be able to safely start celebrating. Congrats! positivitize 1

Whether you know it or not, you helped me a lot over the last few weeks. I've read your posts for a few hours a day and learned a ton. Hopefully I'll be as good as you at the whole process in another two years when I'm applying for my PhD. =D Edited February 10, 2017 by positivitize lyonessrampant 1

And you're right, an acceptance would make decisions harder, but at this point I just want to know one way or the other. Good luck to you as well, I hope you hear good news from them and elsewhere!

Side note: how is it that grad programs are so much more disorganized/staggered when it comes to announcing admit results? In the undergrad days, it was like "okay, everyone check and this time on this day!" for thousands of applicants. I'm sure it has to do with more individualized nature of the grad admit procedure, but come on! Maybe the application boards aren't hip to the communal anxiety of the Grad Cafe...;)

Caien Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 @claritus are you the Brown poster who said they were shut out last year? I ask cause I think we should start a club But seriously, I've been thinking those of us who managed to turn our applications around should do a thread on how we changed strategies once all the results are in, to help out future applicants. I remember there was a poster last year who struck out and then was accepted to Columbia the following year, and seeing that really helped me stay positive.

Expand No I'm applying directly out of undergrad, which is partially why I'm so astounded! I had a pretty rough go for a fair bit of undergrad; dealt with some mental health issues and ended up completing a 6-year BA. I thought I was aiming really high, and expected one PhD acceptance at maximum, so this is really beyond anything I expected.
Avalanched Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 I'd also appreciate any information from the Stanford poster-- that response is crazy significant for me
