highanxiety Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 You GO girl. Did you update the Results Search?
arna Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 I thought some of you might like to know that I called UMD and asked them to defer my admission for a year. I'll have to reapply for the assistantship, but oh well.
catrin82 Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 You GO girl. Did you update the Results Search? I did. The program is called Justice, Law and Crime Policy (but has changed to Criminology, Law and something), so it probably didn't come up if you searched for the usual suspects (CJ or criminology).
highanxiety Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Well it seems as though you are going to have some decisions to make here pretty soon. Not familiar with Mason's program or its ranking. Does it interest you at all?
catrin82 Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 It has a pretty low ranking but that doesn't really concern me. It's pretty heavy on policy and the practical perspective. They have open house March 16, so I'll probably go to D.C. then to check it. I think MSU is my top choice right now, but I'll probably visit the other schools too. So did you hear back from the MA programs?
highanxiety Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 I haven't heard *squat* - but that's not cause for alarm as CSULA's deadline was only 3/1, and CSULB's is not until 5/1 (though I submitted my apps well in advance). Can you believe I'm getting bills from Univ. of Maryland even though I never completed my application?

catrin82 Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 I know the feeling. I've been slightly crazy lately. Don't give up--they're still reviewing!
highanxiety Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 WOW. Did anyone catch the John Jay rejection in the Results section?
highanxiety Posted March 9, 2010 Posted March 9, 2010 Am I crazy? I just applied to UC Riverside's PhD program in Sociology - they offer an emphasis in Criminology & Sociolegal Studies. I don't relish the idea of living in Riverside, but the program seems strong, and with the current budget crisis in California, applying to only ONE PhD program (i.e., UCI) seemed senseless.
sba2016 Posted March 9, 2010 Posted March 9, 2010 (edited) If you made it in by the March 1 deadline, I see no reason not to have applied - have to cover your bases if you really want the degree. Talk about a late deadline for PhD admission for the fall....weird. Edited March 9, 2010 by sba2016

Good for you! Best of luck!

Talk about a late deadline for PhD admission for the fall....weird. Right? And they've been known to admit in the Winter, as well, though they do not recommend it.
highanxiety Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 So I just noticed in the "Results Search" that someone has received a rejection letter from UCI. Anyone else hear anything? My anxiety just increased.
sba2016 Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 No clear indication but from everything that is going on it seems that everything is finalized and they're now strictly dealing with the recruitment weekend etc.
catrin82 Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 Hmm... will see what today's mail brings... That wasn't your rejection today, was it?
highanxiety Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 No, it wasnt. And nothing came in the mail, either. Hmm... ;-)
catrin82 Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 No, it wasnt. And nothing came in the mail, either. Hmm... ;-) Thank goodness. I'm sorry for whoever it was, but I thought it was you--so relief. You're still in the running!
sba2016 Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 (edited) Good to hear nothing came. Given that you're in CA maybe thats a good sign given that if they had mailed something you'd have likely received it. It's not over 'til it's over so hopefully it works out. Edited March 20, 2010 by sba2016
highanxiety Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 thanks, sba... i'm hopin it's good news, but i'm prepared if it aint ;-)
