  1. Sounds about right – but good luck taking your wife anywhere other than California, now that that's an option! I feel like getting into some/all of the last schools I am waiting for would be a lot more about self-validation. Like, the more school I'll get into, the less I would feel like I lucked out on the ones I'm already in. If that makes sense.
  2. Congratulations on Temple! Although, admissions without funding are such a tease. I hope it works out for you! And yes, Eataly is just as good as it sounds.
  3. I'm in at UIUC and FSU, both with pretty similar funding (although FSU is 5yrs instead of 4, and includes summer). All of the four schools I am still waiting to hear from are ranked lower than UIUC – which is partly why I feel ready to wrap it up. BUT, my SO is strongly rooting for UOrengon, so I am have having an hard time debating whether I would ever choose it over UIUC, if I did get in. What about you? Waiting on any school that could give UCBS and UCR some tough competition?
  4. IR person waiting to hear from Syracuse over here. I have yet to hear from four schools, but I am just sooo ready for my cycle to be over!
  5. Thank you for sharing that information, I have been wondering what's going on at UVA since such few greens have gone up randomly on the board for weeks. And hey, congratulation on your admission! The first one feels extra good.
  6. Any clue of what is going on over at UVA? Three admissions and one rejection over the course of 1.5 weeks? Strange.
  7. Yeah, similar situation here as well. I finished my undergrad last spring and spent this year doing "international NGO stuff" while I worked on my applications. My SO is going to graduate college in May and already had a job offer in Minneapolis, so I was hoping to get into Minnesota – it would have made things so much easier! The dream was crushed yesterday... But no, we ruled out long-distance since we have already done it twice for extended periods of time. I am from Europe and applied to programs only in the US to move closer to my SO, so pretty much whichever school I'll choose to attend, that's where the SO will look for a job. Hope it'll work out for all of us, one way or another!
  8. Hey ensli, I don't know why I only saw your posts now (despite being on this forum like all the time). Ironically, I'm in a pretty similar situation since my SO has a job offer lined up for Minneapolis. Happy Valentine's Day babe, I just got rejected from the one school that's in the city you wanted to move to! And then, just as I was starting to make good progress in accepting the rejection, I see this on the submission page about Minnesota: "Website had a rejection letter posted. Got an email two hours later from graduate coordinator bringing me back and adding me to the waitlist... Will be declining." Are you serious?! I feel like I could kill a puppy right now to be put un that wait-list... Just kidding I would never. But hey, we both have other offers (congratulations back to you!) so we'll be just fine. Right?
  9. Anybody on the Minnesota WL willing to share what their website status says? I am being delusional and not acknowledging my imminent rejection yet...
  10. Yeah I really want to get my rejection ASAP so that I can drink my sorrows tonight. The "Final Review" step was also supposed to take up to two business days – but for me it took only a few hours – so I'm hopeful to get it over with soon. I already received two good offers, but Minnesota had a special place in my heart. I am an IR person interested in human rights and international institutions, plus I love Minneapolis and have a lot of friends and family there. Bummer.
  11. Mine said "Final Review" this morning and has been saying "Decision Made" for the past two hours. What is the point of letting me know that you've made a decision if I can't see it yet?! GRRRR. I mean I know that it'll be a rejection but tell me already. So frustrating.
  12. Hey guys, I'm new here - I decided to join in after a week of lurking, hoping to find some support during these nerve-racking days. Am I the only one nervously waiting to hear from Minnesota? I saw the seven admissions that went up last night, but sadly my inbox is still empty. Anybody willing to claim one of those admits and tell us a bit more about what they said?
