wannabephd Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) Lack of an email probably means you made it through the round of desk rejects and at least got some additional consideration. My guess would be most of the mass email rejections were to people who were eliminated earlier on. But this is just conjecture on my part. Although, I know that some of the schools that where seriously considering me but never interviewed me also never sent me a official rejection. So, curiosity got the best of me Institution Name: Duke (Fuqua) Concentration: Marketing (CB) Date of Notification: March 12th Type of Notification: E-mail Notification: Wait List Posted on GradCafe?: Not yet Comments: I'm very pleasantly surprised by this! I saw the Duke TGC bloodbath during Endristlemnar, felt left out that I didn't get ANY notification and wondered where my rejection was (I didn't interview). Emailed the office and got told I was on the WL. I'm not sure where I am on the actual WL since I'm assuming the people they actually talked to are farther ahead of me, so it's highly unlikely this will convert to an admit, but still, it's nice to have gotten consideration and not auto-rejected. :) Edited March 12, 2015 by wannabephd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheetrockero Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I officially accepted Oregon's offer today. I went to campus to hand deliver the letter and ended up having lunch with Eventualprofessor and one of the first year Marketing students. I'm so excited to get started that I'll probably take any excuse to be on campus between now and September. Everyone has been so welcoming! I e-mailed all of the Profs that I interviewed with to let them know my decision and they seem genuinely excited that I'll be joining their program this Fall. I don't think I've ever gotten such a warm welcome from any school or workplace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soon enough you'll be working late nights wondering about the choices you've made in life and whether coming back to school was a good idea. Also, if you can swing it, try to stake you claim on a desk before anyone else shows up. There are a lot of things that I've learned through my program so far, but by far the most important is this: the placement of your desk is directly correlated with your potential to succeed in any program. When you are a professor this shifts to where your office is located and how big it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Observation: Very productive professors tend to get corner offices and have fancy titles like "endowed chair of blahblahblah". Conclusion: Big offices greatly enhance research productivity.

See my oldest daughter had interpreted "We're not getting any more chickens because we don't even know if we're staying here" said off hand at the feed store, to mean "If we stay here, I promise you with all my heart, that we will get as many baby chicks as you can carry." I'm planning a couple of camping/ road trips while I still have the company car. I also really want to get all of those lingering home and garden projects finished before the program because I know I won't have the time or money to do any of them once I start. About this desk thing... any word on that front, eventualprof? I don't think the Accounting and Finance folks would take too kindly to my, er, communication style... especially when caffeinated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EndlessNameless Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Out of curiosity... has anyone heard back from NYU Marketing after the interviews? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabephd Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 So - any idea of an "average" time between interview and acceptance or rejection? If you interviewed 5 weeks ago, and it's already the middle of March, with no update from the school on your status, is it a good idea to assume you have been or will be rejected? ETA: No activity on TGC for this school either...

There isn't an average time. I've heard of schools telling you the following day and schools telling you 2 months after the fact.  Because there is a ton of bureaucratic nonsense that has to happen to accept a student, it can take a while at some place. Sorry, I wish I could give you a more specific answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wannabephd Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) OK, in the PhD applications as dating analogy I've been using, I am officially off the market! I officially accepted USC Marshall, and I couldn't be more excited! Such a great program, I REALLY like the faculty and students, and the place is just such a good fit for me! [w00t][banana]This is me dancing and jumping for joy! Other Urch'ins pointed out that they could see my excitement when I posted my "acceptance" post. And it's true. This is the one I was pulling for most after the interviews. I can't bring myself to say "go Trojans" or "Fight on!" quite yet, but even still, I'm not friends with Sheetrockero during football season. :boxing: Now if you excuse me, I'm going to go burn my GRE study prep books...

Actually I really like the Oregon team, rivalry aside. Seem like a really classy (if not stylish) program. I mean, how can you NOT like Marcus Mariota. I was nervous for you guys after Chip Kelly left, and I hope you have someone to fill Mariota's shoes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
