modalities Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Accepted to Oregon's MA program. Sadly no funding guaranteed for MA students (which was put more ambiguously online). Will have to see if I can secure a TAship. goldenstardust11 1
modalities Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 To whoever just got accepted to the Oregon M.A. program (I'm assuming you applied to the Ph.D. program?) do you mind if I ask whether you received any funding? Thanks

axiomness Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Has anyone heard anything from SLU? They seem to be quite behind the curve this cycle. (Sorry if this is the wrong thread to be asking this question...)

(Sorry if this is the wrong thread to be asking this question...) I heard from a grad student that they are in the process of installing a new dept. chair, and it is possible that is a reason for delay. I hope we hear from them soon!!

That wound make sense except that the deadline hasn't been pushed back in recent years AFAIK, yet the prediction was Feb 27th.

goss Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 In case anyone is curious, this was the reply from Rochester regarding the status of my application: " Here's where things stand. We haven't made a final decision about your application. We have made a first round of offers, and we don't know yet whether they'll be accepted. We don't have a waitlist or a numerical ranking of the applicants to whom we haven't made offers at this stage." It went on into more personal detail which I safely assume translates to a rejection (based on the phrasing).

It went on into more personal detail which I safely assume translates to a rejection (based on the phrasing). Based on this alone, I think this is similar to the situation I am in with Irvine LPS: you are not rejected, but they *might* come up with a wait-list if enough people turn down the first round of offers, so this is some sort of possible wait-list status? But perhaps the phrasing for the remaining parts of your email confirms this more as a rejection than a possible wait-list...

Had I known it was so limited I might not have applied, but still feels nice to have been accepted.

[/coveringallbases] I talked to a student in the program and he told me that their search for the new department chair has pushed everything back. They haven't even been able to look at apps yet, but they're going to start this week. Hopefully they'll send out decisions sometime between Monday-Wednesday next week. axiomness, Schopenhauerfanboy and Duns Eith 3
