RodneyTrotter Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I'm not sure if anyone else applied, but I received an acceptance from American (SPA) yesterday. NIce funding package plus summer funding and a conference travel grant. Email was just to check the portal for a decision. Also received my Austin rejection. frustrating because this was the one university where I actually knew my POI in person, but perhaps the rest of the department wasn't the best fit.

Strange seeing as my thesis was literally based around research done by my POI, but whatever. Actually this happened to me with WashU. I mentioned that my interest in the topic is generated from the works of my POI there; and my writing sample and SOP were somewhat personalized tributes to his work. And they rejected me outrightly. Too strong alignment (if not obsession) with the POI may have hurt my application. Edited February 16, 2018 by Albert01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Kyo Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Congrats! those who accepted by his or her dream school. In such a case, do you reject other offers immediately? Which schools' offer probably will you decline? When is it appropriate to reject offer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex@Beijing Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) 2a, 6r, 0w, 3p now. Seems that it would be my final day for application. Just waiting for rejections from U Chicago, MIT and Cornell. UT-Austin, if the funding is okay, would be a great choice for me. If anyone is interested in China or Chinese politics, please feel free to contact me via PM here. Fingers crossed for myself and everyone still waiting.

possibleirphd Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Finally got a decision notice from Duke, rejected, but expected. Also never got an email from Vanderbilt to interview so adding that to my rejection pile even though I did not get an official notice. 2a/0w/5r/4p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spcgsw96 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I doubt that all the acceptances for Cornell have been sent out... there are only 3 acceptances listed on the survey and of course not everyone who gets in is on TGC or posts their results, but it seems unlikely that there would be only 3 responses if they had all been sent out. In any case, for my own sanity trying not to speculate on whether silence = rejection as I doubt we can fully know what goes on for every admissions committee every year. No wild hopes but trying to just operate under the idea that only a rejection letter really means a rejection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CambridgeHeismanLord Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I know this sounds a bit cliche, but do not give up until you've received a rejection. As I said before, I didn't get my acceptance until early-mid March, and this was far long after many other of my colleagues had gotten acceptances to other places. izmir, Ayerbender, StudyinMountains and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
