Claiming the newest UC Santa Barbara admit! First acceptance of the season for me and I'm quite excited No word on funding yet. 

A week after the first acceptances went out... At this point, I was sure it was going to be a rejection!

 

Congratulations! Now you can begin to relax!

I emailed the DGS at Boston College today (because I'm impatient and I couldn't stand not knowing how much longer I'd have to wait since there's a huge dearth of information on the results page re: BC POSC) asking for a timeline as to when I might hear an admissions decision. Expecting a terse 'calm down, we'll tell you soon' reply, he told me that I'm wait listed for the PhD, but accepted to the master's program. Which is actually really awesome news seeing as I applied to the master's program and was asked about my PhD intentions later. So without even applying for the PhD, I still might get it. 

 

What a day, folks. What a day. 

 

Congratulations! This is wonderful and amazing news.

 

Although you will be able to receive an MA regardless, I am hoping and praying you get that Ph.D., too! Such great luck.

You're such a jerk, cautiously!

Honestly, I am not that petty. 

 

MiroslavBass please know that my intention was to say "yay" for you.

 

And curse the software designer who thought the red and green arrow should not only be small, but also directly next to one another.

i'm getting married

 

 

Oh no! I went to up-vote this and accidentally hit the down arrow! Not my intention at all.

 

I am so happy for you MiroslavBass. This is beautiful news! And gaining a wonderful partner is such a benefit. Wishing you many years of continued love!

 

**Edit: A million typos from trying to do this on a tablet, which is what caused the up-vote problem in the first place...ugh.**

Congrats UCSD people!!! 

 

Is the school sending out the letters in waves do you think??? (every hour, half an hour, etc) 

 

Perhaps, I got mine approximately thirty minutes ago. Unfortunately, I am working late (coordinating an academic conference) and am not accessing my e-mail or TGC as frequently as I'd like. Maybe someone else can chime in on the time stamp of their e-mails.

Whoa! I missed a lot of wonderful things happening. Congrats to all of the UW admits!
