Gray Under Gray Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 I have heard back from every English MA program except for the University of Washington: Seattle. Does anyone know when they generally make decisions?
urbanfarmer Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 Two years ago, I got accepted to the phd program on March 13-- they take a while! And I'd assume MA acceptances generally come out an it after PhD results?

Naturally, it'd be the last one I'd hear back from!
Little Earthquakes Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 I am attending UW as a first year PhD student, and I received my decision on March 2nd 2016. So I would say it's safe to say that decisions will be out by March 15th at the latest! Gray Under Gray 1

I am starting to worry that UW is an implied rejection for me I will have my MA by the end of this year so I applied straight into the PhD program and it looks like they've already sent out some acceptances.. Do they usually do them all at once?

It was my #1 choice on the west coast outside of CA, and I really never thought I'd get in, which is why I almost didn't apply. So good luck waiting!!! Hang in there. clinamen 1
brontebitch Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 I saw a few PhD acceptance and one MA on the board, but I haven't heard anything yet! Fingers crossed for you @Gray Under Gray; I hope we both hear good news!
garnet7 Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 hey, I was one of the acceptances. I got into the MA/PhD program, I'm applying straight out of a BA but my portal now says that I am accepted for the PhD program. I didn't hear anything about them having given out all their acceptances, fingers crossed for both of you! TaylorElizabeth 1

My portal still only says submitted. TaylorElizabeth 1

My portal also says I'm accepted to the PhD program. Good luck to everyone else! I hope you hear soon. TaylorElizabeth 1
TaylorElizabeth Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) @Gray Under Gray, I applied too and it's my top choice... Fingers crossed for both of us. Every time I get an email, my stomach is in knots! Edited March 7, 2017 by TaylElizabeth15
brontebitch Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 I don't know if it's legit or not but someone posted on the board that they called U of Washington and the DGS said all the funded offers have gone out, but they're still making admissions decisions. Just thought I would let you guys know! I'm also still waiting :s clinamen 1

I am not sure but I think it's possible, as some MA applicants have already been admitted with funding. we'll see, I guess!
Gray Under Gray Posted March 9, 2017 Author Posted March 9, 2017 I reached out to the English department and found out that although they are sending out acceptances daily, anyone that's accepted now will not receive funding TaylorElizabeth 1

I am wondering if they have a waitlist for funding? I wonder how much longer they're making offers and why they are doing just a few a day if they've already made the admissions decisions (which I'm assuming they did in order to making funding decisions)

If they've already made decisions, I wish they would just send them out. I'd read about them doing it in stages so that they don't accept too many people and whatnot, but I don't know... Does funding just mean scholarships and stipends? Can we still apply for assistantships? For some schools, it's separate; for others, together...

This is exactly what was said, "We have made some offers of admission already, but I don't see a decision for you yet. The only information I have now is that any additional offers of admission we release would be without funding." It seems really odd to me that they still haven't finished admitting people, but funding is already concluded??? But that's what it seems like... brontebitch 1

I've been very confused by their process and wish it was more transparent. Keeping my fingers crossed for all of us!
clinamen Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 I saw a few rejections go up on the results page for UW on Friday but I haven't heard anything yet.. They're probably just sending out rejections in groups, but of course, I'm fantasizing it's a secret waitlist spot :/ .. ahh the desperation is real.

I wish they'd just finish up.
