abenz Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Hey team, just had my first (admittedly implied) rejection. Indiana Bloomington sent out its Gender Studies acceptances on 19th Jan and its waitlist emails went out on 23rd Jan. I’ve just found out and checked my emails and portal again, and I’m still just submitted, which makes me think it’s a rejection. It definitely wasn’t my first choice ... but it still sucks, especially as I thought I had the grades and fit to get in. Kind words appreciated!

You have five more schools, so hold out hope for an acceptance from somebody else higher on your list. These T30 schools are hard as fuck to get into and the process gets pretty random. capslock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @abenz, an implied rejection is not a rejection though. Plus, you still have other schools to hear back from. Don't lose hope - you only need one admit.

tsh05 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) Now am freaking out. Both Ohio and Berkeley have sent out acceptances and I haven’t heard from either. Assume the worst? Edited January 28, 2018 by tsh05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldsoundz Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I didn't post on the results board but I'm another Berkeley acceptance. I don't think folks should be worried just yet because I received a call at 430 PT on Fri from the chair of the admissions committee, so I imagine more will be rolling in over the next week...which will also hopefully be the case with Stanford... qeta 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't stress this enough! I have 6 acceptances already, and am still waiting to hear back from several more. I miscalculated my odds, and probably applied to too many schools ... Only mention this because I don't think that silence at this point is anything to worry about - there's still so much shuffling that will happen as decisions come out. Looking forward to seeing those who are still waiting in silence get that first acceptance! (and in terms of tying up spots, I'll try to reject in a timely manner I promise) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sort of thing cracks me up! Don't professors know we are all on tenderhooks? If I'm ever fortunate enough to be on an adcomm, I will probably just do a conference call with all attendees to make sure everyone finds out at the same time Congrats to the two admits so far, hear's hoping that everyone on this board gets some good news soon. Also, thanks @qeta and @latemeg for your support - much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious to see if they all say the same thing. Feel free to PM me if you don't want to post it publicly, though. Congrats on those Stanford Admits. I second @Valerian ! I would love to hear what standford says! Feel free to PM me as well if you're keen on sharing! Valerian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinoysoc Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 By the way, I'm starting to feel crazy. I'm not sure if I should still wait for admits or just plan for next year already. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wnk4242 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Got admitted to FSU measurement and stats PhD program Nominated for fellowship. Question: if you are nominated for fellowship, does it imply that you will get the fellowship? If you didn't get it, how will you be funded?

I’ve been thinking the same thing, and Texas as well. It’s super annoying thinking you’re rejected but holding out that last bit of hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
