Did everyone just get that email from MGH saying that our admissions decision will be ready to view tomorrow on the website? Eeeek.

Spending this Saturday night at home doing homework in my pajamas. I've been feeling gross/congested all day and just realized I have a fever. I think all this stress has really worn me down. Anyone else around the boards? I'm feeling like this coming week could be a big one for many of us...

This made me feel better. Thanks! There were one or two people on the results board who said they got letters (i.e. postal service letters) from UIUC last week, but from your post it sounds like there hasn't been much activity yet. So there's still hope!

Someone posted on the results page that they called the University of Illinois and all acceptances are available on ApplyYourself...and if it's not there maybe we didn't get in. That seems weird to me since a week or so ago only a few people got letters in the mail. Trying to stay positive about that but wish they'd just let us know either way, haha. Also, dying to hear from MGH. They called people around this time last year and I wonder if they'll be doing the same. Anyone talked to admissions there? And I'm sure we've got another two weeks for Northwestern...

CONGRATS!

Did anyone else who applied to U of I Urbana-Champaign get an email about with the subject "A Special Invitation to the Graduate Program Open House at the University of Illinois"? I haven't heard from them yet and I want to think good things about "special invitation" but not sure...

So many fingers crossed for you!

I'm sorry! Looks like you've got more than a few good options on your plate though...

I'm waiting to hear from others, but I definitely love the program! And thanks!

I GOT INTO UM-TWIN CITIES! AHHH!!!

Wow, forgot that ApplyYourself for MGH existed since it was mostly through CSDCAS. Mine says "Application complete for review." Looks like mine was officially completed on 2/20/13, though I turned everything in on time (sigh...CSDCAS).

Thanks! I hear liminal space and all I can think is Victor Turner. My anthro adviser would be proud.

Aaaaand it just changed to Decision Made. AHHHHHH

Oh no! Haha. I specifically asked because I have spring break for two weeks starting March 8th and would hate for it to come by mail and have to wait all that time. She said the decision would come by email first and then we'd get something in the mail a little later if we were accepted.

Just had my Skype interview with Boston University which I think went well! For those of you waiting, my interviewer said the decisions should be coming by email "within a week." Eek!

Oh my, best of luck! Let us know when you hear. Mine still says final review.

This is purely for laughs: It makes me laugh every time I watch it, which I have to do over and over again. The man's reaction at the end...

Hey, don't lose hope yet. Maybe they do it in batches, maybe they do rejections or waitlists first and final review right now is actually a bad thing... you never know.

I'm currently a ball of stress. I have my Skype interview with BU tomorrow afternoon, every time I see that I have a new email my heart starts racing, and I nearly died walking to get my mail thinking "what if there's actually something there?!" I sincerely can't wait to be done with this... just a few more weeks, right?

No word for me (in CT).

What did people say if they asked you "why BU?"

Oh god, I just checked -- me too! That's got to mean this week, right?

Ahhhhhh, someone just posted on the results page that they got an acceptance letter in the mail from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. This is sooo stressful!

What do I have to wear for a Skype interview? I don't own a suit (I'm still in college...) and was planning to run out and get one if the need arose, but this is super soon.

Thanks for telling me that, speech310! That would make sense for me -- I know my application got stuck at CSDCAS (because they lost a transcript that I had sent to them by overnight mail...sigh) and wasn't even officially mailed until February 14th, by which point the on-campus interview invitations had gone out.
