Is it acceptable to say "if accepted I will attend"?

thriding. to anyone in the rhetoric subfield with an offer: contact me if you would like my first born. we can make a rumpelstiltskin-style deal. or i can make you a cupcake. whatever!

officially wait-listed at my top choice. until april, i'll be spending most my time in NERVOUS TIME BARF CITY.

As I clicked on this thread, I was hoping someone found "dirty secrets" in the GRE like the "dirty secrets" of The Little Mermaid. Major disappointment.

Do you how many spots they have or how many acceptances have gone out?

Super sad dude. I feel you. Have you tried contacting a Maryland?

Probs North Carolina.

I bet your family will make "penn" cookie letters. I bet you $10.

Let the baby choose (obviously.)

Do you mind sharing where?

Tight. Do you know your place on the list?

Niiiiice.

Is visiting on your own dime a feasible option?

Are you waitlisted? Do you suspect that you might be waitlisted? Are you about to give up a spot for a hungry, sweaty waitlister? DO TELL!

NC has delicious, acidic, mustardy bbq with the best pulled pork in the entire world. promise. I can remember when I lived north, crying one morning when I had to take a shower because it was so cold and taking off my clothes felt like peeling off my own skin. And it was so dark all the time. And I gained so much weight. And my skin was super dry all the time. And it was awful. NO WINTER FOREVER!!!

your avatar is everything.

NC weather (and FOOD! OMG THE FOOD!) is way better.

I hope so. I'm real, real close to emailing. If you don't mind me asking, are you feeling like you'll attend? Did they send you visiting day info?

I second this emotion. It could be the case that they need a visable transcript before the graduate school allows them to make an official offer.

Drink an entire bottle of wine before you send any emails. Let your heart do the typing. Also, congrats!

And then they'll be like: Let me rock you, Katia Chan Let me rock you, let me feel for you Katia Chan let me tell you what I wanna do Feel for you.

I don't see what you have to lose. I think that, as long as you're very polite, it's perfectly reasonable to call or email to check in just once.

Yeh. If I get in we'll party. Party hard. Otherwise, fuck that place.
