New: Fall 2008 Official Acceptances/rejections

<p>Does anyone know when AU is sending out notifications?</p>

<p>Program: MSW (Master of Social Work)</p>

<p>Accepted: UC Berkeley (phone call 2/5), UCLA (email 3/5), USC (snail mail 3/21)</p>

<p>Waiting to Hear: CSU Long Beach, CSU Sacramento, CSU San Bernardino</p>

<p>All right, finally heard from all the schools that I applied to (all for international affiars). Here is how it looks:</p>

<p>Johns Hopkins SAIS - Accepted; funding pending
Georgetown SFS - Accepted; no funding
Tufts Fletcher - Accepted; 6k/year in fellowships
Columbia SIPA - Accepted; no funding
Harvard KSG - Rejected</p>

<p>I knew from the beginning that I may not be a perfect fit for KSG because I really want to focus on international affairs. Ah well. </p>

<p>I am really excited about the schools that I got into, but it is going to be a tough decision. I like all of the programs a lot. I worked hard on fellowship apps for SAIS, so I am hoping that I might be able to get something. If I am lucky enough to get a substantial fellowship from them, that would seal the deal. If not, hmmm... 6k from Fletcher is not much, but still nice. At the same time, being in DC would be key. Columbia is very much in the running as well. Any thoughts?</p>

<p>Got a Fedex in the mail today from Columbia. I'm in, w00t</p>

<p>now I'm deciding between Northwestern and Columbia for chem E. If UPenn accepts me I'm going there but right now it's those two.</p>

<p>OK I finally heard back from all 6, these are all International Relations except American which is International economic Relations:</p>

<p>American: Accepted, invitation to apply for grad assistantships but no outright $$
Syracuse: Accepted
U Of Denver: Rejected
U of Pittsburgh: Accepted
Seton Hall: Accepted
UC Santa Barbara: Rejected</p>

<p>American was definitely my top choice as my undergrad double major in Film/Politics and lack of GPA (hooray UC Santa Cruz!) made me wary of applying to top schools.</p>

<p>GRE: 560V/720Q 5.0</p>

<p>Anyone else thinking about American SIS?</p>

<p>Congrats FishoutofWater on USC and UCLA! I'm still waiting for the Cal State schools SFSU and SDSU) as well... it's taking forever!</p>

<p>Heard back from all of my programs finally!</p>

<p>UPenn - PhD Spanish - rejected
NYU - MA Spanish & Portuguese - accepted
University of Delaware - MA Spanish & French - accepted, full funding (tuition & $14,600 stipend via TAship)!!</p>

<p>I'm definitely going with Delaware given that I'll end up with a dual MA in Spanish & French, plus the awesome funding offer! Good luck to everyone else who is still waiting!</p>

<p>Thanks MSWwaiting! Are you waiting until you get all offers to make a decision? I've already committed to Berkeley because I feel like it's the best fit for me. Plus, my partner got rejected from the SoCal vet school, where four of the schools I applied to are located. That doesn't mean I don't want to hear back from the Cal States, though. I know, I'm weird. :-P</p>

<p>U.S. History-Field</p>

<p>Full Funding at UCLA, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Cornell, UCSD, Illinois</p>

<p>Univ of Washington-Partial Funding</p>

<p>Texas- Admitted No Funding</p>

<p>Waitlisted-Northwestern, Michigan, Indiana</p>

<p>Rejected-Stanford, Chicago, Yale</p>

<p>UCLA was the choice.</p>

<p>Yo all,</p>

<p>Congrats on getting into such stellar programs as the ones mentioned in the posts above.</p>

<p>I applied for my Masters in Public Health with a Global Health focus.</p>

<p>Brown- No specific track
Columbia- Health Policy(Global health track)
Harvard-Population and Intl Health
Hopkins- Intl Health Systems</p>

<p>Brown has given me substantial amount of money; Hopkins has nominated me for a full scholarship (am still waiting to hear back from them on that).
Apart from their acceptance letters Columbia and Harvard have been mum.</p>

<p>Scholarship,or no scholarship I am going to JHU. Baltimore- I am not too thrilled about.</p>

<p>Hi all, I got accepted into Columbia Univ's CS Masters Program through email, on 3/10. Now its been almost 1 month, and I have not received any formal offer letter/package from them. In the acceptance email, I was told I should expect a mailing.</p>

<p>Is this normal, for college to send an acceptance notice through email then wait a month before sending any packages? Anyone in a similar boat?</p>

<p>Thanks!
Jon</p>

<p>I'd give them a call if I were you.</p>

<p>D accepted to Harvard for PHD program in Political Economy. I am a completely clueless parent on grad school programs. D is two years out of college and has been working in management consulting. It seems like the others admitted to the program already have graduate degrees. Will she be at a big disadvantage? I'm really not sure why she wants to do this but she seems pretty excited to go. Anyone know anything about this program?</p>

<p>Most schools send out acceptance letters right away or even before they send out emails. I think your letter has been lost somewhere on the way. Call them up and ask them to send it again and also ask them to send u a scanned copy.</p>

<p>Program: Ph.D in psychology</p>

<p>Wayne State told me that they might not accept anyone off the waitlist this year, so it looks like it's off to the beach for me;)</p>

<p>going to berkeley!</p>

<p>Dakota -- I have been watching these threads with interest as my daughter is entering grad school in the fall. She has been accepted to Yale's Ancient Christianity program directly out of undergrad for a 5 or 6 year Masters/PhD program, so apparently not everyone gets a masters separately. Good luck to your daughter!</p>

<p>Also, I want to note that my son enters college next year, so I've been reading the college section, too. I have been amazed at the difference in tone between grad school and college posters on this site!</p>
