Wherever I go this fall, I promise to remain a committed informant on the 2015 thread.
-
I did! Finally. Thanks!
-
All right people, time to start declining those Penn offers!
-
Was going to create a new funding spreadsheet, but I see people are already using this old one. Enter your deets. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AgQb-LRJLpvYdHM3VE1QaHJsS2dQZVRuTDF1eHgwNlE#gid=0

Wait, how do you know you're rejected at Penn?
-
We have 5 Cornell admits on the board, so I think that's the wave.
-
Updated results from the spreadsheet as of now: 82 universities, 194 acceptances, 260 rejections, 23 waitlisted. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AqGB4iJQWjWbdC03WThhczY0aVdfeWdUYkZBa2xnb0E&usp=sharing

Who's ready to declare that Penn result fake?
-
This is a good question. I would also appreciate advice on what to think if you've gotten drastically different pictures of the department from different students you've talked to.
-
Mine was the acceptance with Citibank loans to cover the $60k annual tuition, but I don't see it now.
-
Search for "University of Phoenix" on the results board. Our group has done a stellar job with those this year. EDIT: Looks like the good ones have been deleted.
-
To the results posted who asked if anyone is still waiting on Columbia: yes, presumably all the people who are going to be rejected in the next week or two. I think if you haven't heard anything at all, you can assume it's not happening.
-
From what I've heard, CUNY won't be making offers until March.
-
I'm afraid so.
-
That's a fascinating topic. I'm a Europeanist, but I love studying right-wingers wherever they can be found. Incidentally I'm reading Hofstadter's "Anti-Intellectualism in American Life," and the descriptions of schools in the 1950s are riveting.
-
Isn't it odd for the rejections to come first?
-
Checking to make sure they will not be on leave, departing, or retiring is a good reason to do it. I don't think the "make them come to you" part makes sense, but agree that this is pretty unlikely to give you much of an admissions advantage.
-
Thank you! I mostly did it to distract myself. I'm updating mostly based on the results board, but have also put in a few things (like cohort sizes) I've learned from my own reporting or that people have told me on here or in private messages.
-
Maybe you could ask generally if all the decisions have been made. I'm in the same boat, but not brave enough to ask yet. So selfishly I would love for you to do it.
-
I think you're right about this; I got an interview and an acceptance from schools where I hadn't contacted a POI. On the other hand, it certainly can't hurt anything, and might make an early impression that helps you get on a professor's short list (especially if you're able to speak with them by phone). I'd say if there's any chance it helps, go for it. I just way overthought it, and a very brief, genuine, non-wonky email is the way to go.

I've got a LOT of updating to do after today.

Northeastern acceptance is a good friend of mine - got an email to check the website at 1am this morning. -

Anyone on here know anything on Brown comp lit? What's up with those two random acceptances a week ago, then nothing else? -
My departing Columbia POI told me not to waste my money. Wish I'd listened.
