Graduate School Admission Results

TTPB: That happens when a professor really wants you but the committee doesn't agree. What reason did the professor give you?

Did anyone else that got rejected receive a follow-up email from a professor on their interview committee with the reason of rejection? Is this standard for UMD, or other schools? 5 co-authorships, 1 first author paper in prep, 4 years of research experience.

19k 9-month stipend for duration of MA. Haven't decided if I'm going yet. But it's the first school I heard back from... Yay!

TTPB -- i was the one who asked the question about why acceptances elsewhere would be a determining factor. That was not meant to question you at all!! I was just concerned with the fact that they were asking you to let them know if you got in elsewhere! That just seems (very!!) unfair to me and I was wondering if they had given you more details on why they were asking you about your other acceptances! database threads are hard to communicate on! :)

TTPB: Yes, in the offer letter it said they had over 800 applications for 25 spots

rejected after interview

Yay!

TTPB: Did the acceptance mail say anything about the acceptance rates this year, as one of the posters below claimed?

Generic email, 216 applicants which was 50% more than last year. I don't have any publications, but did some research in undergrad. Strong statement and LORs, Took a year detour into an education masters than dropped out because life is weird. Good luck all

1st auth publication in ApJ.

TTPB: When and how did you guys receive the notification for the decision? To the person accepted, were you interviewed? I'm an applicant and still haven't heard anything.

Email to set up a call with the DGS next week

TTPB thank you for answering my question patiently! congrats to you again, and Its good to know based on your admits that one should hope to hear within this week incase they do get in, otherwise know that it's time to move on.
