Thanks. Go celebrate!

Congratulations! When did it come?

Made me laugh out loud, probably because you took the words out of my mouth.

I have also heard this. That doesn't mean I'm not losing hope though.

Haha yes! I still laugh every time I see that on PSJR

Am I the only one who finds the occasional "safety school" references on the results board to be kind of a bummer for everyone else?

Congrats to Rochester!

Thanks for the info and for making the call. Agreed regarding the calls.

Does anyone claim the UCLA admits from this morning... are they legit?

Hmm, yeah. In 2008, my senior thesis advisor was the one responsible for putting this idea in my head. When I e-mailed him 18 months ago to tell him that I was going to apply for Fall 2013, he pulled a 180 on me and emphatically discouraged me from pursuing my PhD and a career in academics (declining financial state of higher education, dismal academic job market, heightened competition as many turn to higher education instead of the workforce in a bad economy, etc). But when you get your heart set on something and decide that it's the only thing you want to do with your career and the next 40 years of your life, it's kinda hard to let that go.

Me too. I had convinced myself they were done accepting on Monday and had already gone through the disappointment stage. So now I have to do the whole thing over again. Congrats to them and everyone else with good news today!

Plan B was to try again next year. Thankfully I won't need to. There isn't really any other option that feels right for me.

I dunno if you were talking about University of Minnesota but I definitely received similar emails every week or so from them for a while. No big deal, just an occasional heart palpitation and mild panic attack.
