  1. Infinite regress (or philosophical)
  2. Relative anonymity is such a liberating thing.
  3. Fingers crossed for a Vulcan bloodbath from Stanford instead.
  4. Congratulations! Your first acceptance, and it's in paradise.
  5. I've gotten one phone call, and I thought it was a very thoughtful, personal notification. On the other hand, with an email, you can look at it over and over (and over and over) to convince yourself that you didn't imagine it. There's no wrong way for a program to say "yes."
  6. I was eating a bowl of really good cream-top yogurt dotted with firm, fresh blueberries. I felt like MFK Fisher, Alice Waters, or Ruth Reichl, savoring the perfect simplicity of it... the full, richness of the yogurt. The wild, tart burst of a large blueberry on my tongue. My cell phone rang, and it was a number I didn't recognize. A number in Berkeley, CA. I remembered that in previous years, successful candidates reported that my dream program had notified them by phone. I spit a large mouthful of pretty nasty-looking yogurt, blueberry goo, and saliva straight back into the bowl and answered the phone. It ruined my breakfast, but it was the best phone call of my life.
  7. Congratulations to you and to everyone who got good news today!
  8. Another Berkeley JSP acceptance here, albeit with a political science focus. Best call from an unknown number ever! Any idea when we'll get official letters with all the details?
  9. It's nice to see so much green after the Cornell slaughter. Congratulations to everyone who's gotten good news today!
  10. Think we'll hear anything from Michigan today? "Early next week" is upon us!
  11. Claiming a Cornell rejection... and a Berkeley JSP acceptance.
  12. A handful of admissions, a couple of rejections, and an impressive display of monday morning internet pedantry. Congratulations to the folks who got good news from UMass and UT.
