fides quarens intellectum Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) @xypathos, I'm at FSU if you want to ask any questions. Sounds like a cool situation at Radboud though!

Kuriakos Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 22 hours ago, xypathos said: Any thoughts on the reputation of Radboud University (Netherlands)? I submitted a late (by US standards) application after looking over the website and being assured by a prof there that they have generous scholarships specifically for US students. As well, should you not get it their annual tuition is cheaper than a 3-credit course at most colleges. Well, I found out was I accepted and extended a stipend of 25k euro, so just over 30k USD. The university has extended an offer for housing at 750 euro a month which seems reasonable. Teaching in the US would be ideal but I don't "have to." Going abroad for a while seems really tempting too. It's stay at Villanova, FSU, or Radboud for the time being. It's a good university in general. I imagine it depends on your specialty and who you'd work with whether it would be the best choice for you. xypathos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I have a suspicion that gtown often goes into its waitlist. I wonder if it’s worthwhile for you to email them and reiterate your interest. Maybe that would move you up on the waitlist. Just guessing though. Good luck! I struck out last year and succeeded at my top choice this year, so there is always hope for next year in case Gtown doesn’t pan out. But I hope it will for you.

Sanskriti Prakriti Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Got my unofficial rejection from Indiana a week ago after I emailed to check the status of my application.

I am going batty because I have not heard back from Georgetown in any way. No rejection, waitlist, or letter (theological & religious studies). Same old portal confirmation message every time. As this is my first cycle, I don’t really know what to make of that. Does this mean I’m accepted? Does this mean they will send a second round of rejections or waitlists soon? Do schools even do that? Has anyone else been accepted or heard anything else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmandy Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 (edited) For those still waiting on Saint Louis, I received an email to check the application portal for my letter yesterday afternoon. Unfortunately for me it was a rejection letter, but perhaps some of you will have happier discoveries.

I would definitely contact them. It's almost April. You deserve to know by now. Also, if it helps the letter of acceptance/ rejection is all the way at the bottom of the portal once you log into it, so you have to scroll down otherwise it looks exactly the same and like they haven't updated it. I hope you get good news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked the portal in case I missed the email but still nothing. Never had to wait until April for any word back before. I emailed the graduate admissions department and they were quite unhelpful: "each department meets at different times so we don't know when you will hear back."

TCS411 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 @Averroes MD and @rmcf: How were you notified of the waitlist? I'm with @YoGramma, I haven't heard anything, and there's nothing in my application portal. The not knowing is getting more difficult to deal with, especially now that some others have received news... YoGramma 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As sjca14 mentioned, make sure you scroll down to the bottom of the page once you've logged into the application portal. My decision was posted on Tuesday morning and got an automated email from the Graduate School saying that a decision has been made and to check the application portal later that day. In the event that there hasn't been a decision made, I'd also encourage you to get in touch with the department. Has anyone received an acceptance from Georgetown?

Thank you so much for this response. I did scroll all the way down in the portal, and I even double checked after reading sjca14's post, but I didn't see anything. Knowing now that you saw your decision in the portal before receiving the email notification, I'm wondering if those who found the rejections in the portal with no emails have since received those emails...

Now that I know that those who have heard have heard via the portal and email, I guess I can speculate that they are either releasing news by area of focus, or just in waves. Either way, at least I know that I didn't miss anything. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
