I've been accepted to Princeton. Subfield: political theory. Absolutely thrilled! Good luck to everyone else!!

Same here. Heart stopping...

still no news re: chicago... so anxious!

I'm not joking, yes, sadly I have been rejected by WUSTL And I think there was another rejection posted on the results page too. Oh well...congrats to all those accepted.

I've just been rejected by WUSTL

Except for the weekends. Suddenly, I hate holidays with a vengeance.

Thanks for this awesome thread, after all, I'm sure that all of us will have to face some rejections at some point. I got my first rejection two days ago, from Northwestern. It was the first result I'd gotten, and it was definitely difficult to swallow. Now I'm having thoughts about getting a teaching qualification and becoming a high school teacher if grad school doesn't work out (!). To make matters even more stressful, my partner and I are both applying this season (same schools, different disciplines), and we're both non-US citizens from a non-English speaking country. I'm really worried about what might happen if I can't get into any school and therefore cannot move overseas with my partner.

Arghh I would probably have thrown my phone across the room and broken it if I were you...

It's such a slow day today...

No I think it's a great idea! Having thoughts about plan B is what's keeping me sane these days - at least the rejections won't feel like the end of every single vision of my life I've had so far!

I feel your pain! Got my first rejection today too, from Northwestern Let's keep our hopes up though...a lot more to come...(hopefully)...

Thank you, definitely need a distraction after getting my first rejection, from Northwestern :(

I just got my first result - a rejection from Northwestern. Can't expect to not receive rejections, having applied to so many schools, but still, it's very disheartening to start off the season with a reject...
