  1. Made my decision to go to Iowa - rejecting U of Florida and Wisconsin. Pretty excited! Hope I made someone's day on the Florida waitlist, I know there are a few still on it.
  2. Thanks Tickle! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you too!
  3. There's hope people: I just got into Iowa off the waitlist with full funding!!! Yipppeee! So keep the faith, it can happen!

    No word yet

    Anyone else out there still waiting to hear from BC??? I saw some acceptances and a rejection on the board, but I've heard nothing!
  5. I now have to add another item to my menu of frustration: U of Georgia just waitlisted me for funding...grrr...what is going on, its like I'm okay, but just not there, just not good enough of a candidate to merit straight out acceptance at these schools!
  6. I'm going too..Flying in from VA. Where are you guys staying? I tried to stay with a student, but didn't get on the list in time, so am staying at the hostel.

    U of Iowa

    I heard, from a letter dated March 9th, that I have been waitlisted. 10 were admitted, and 8 waitlisted. So, if any of you folks out there have gotten in and know that you aren't going, please do us waitlisters a favor and decline! Remember, I will send a case of beer or cheap wine, or champagne!!! whatever your preference!
  8. AAAARRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHH! I just found out that I am wait listed at Iowa. Now I have an unfunded Wisconsin admit, and two wait lists (I am on the funding list at Florida too). I am soooo frustrated right now. I feel like this whole process has just been demoralizing. I thought I would know by now where I'm going next fall, but it turns out I have to wait for another month or so to find out. This is torture!! And what if all the waiting is for nothing, and both places end up rejecting me??? (can you tell I am a bit perturbed?) Sorry, just needed to vent and I figured this was the place.
  9. I think you said earlier you got accepted to Brandeis. Just as an example of what you can do with a degree from that school - check out Hendrik Hartog's bio - he's at Princeton. Enough said, I think:))

    Just found out I got accepted to UF, but am on the wait-list for funding..Anybody out there planning on rejecting their funded offer from them? I, too, would gladly send beers!!! I will up the ante and send a case if you make my year! Thanks!
  12. Anyone accepted to UF planning on rejecting their offer????

    Congrats to those accepted by UF! Do you mind sharing your subfield?

    Just thought I'd update everyone who is interested in the BC situation. I gave in to my curiosity (and impatience) and called the admin there. She told me that they are still reviewing the applications and are not done accepting people yet. So we have a little hope, BC people!

    I just saw a BC rejection on the results board. I also applied there, and was wondering if the person might mind letting me know when the letter was dated? I understand if you don't want to say, but would really appreciate it if you can share (or possibly PM me?). I am located in North Jersey and just wondering if its taking the rejection letter an extra day to reach me or something.

    Have you heard something definitive about funding from Wisconsin? I haven't heard anything yet. Anyone else hear anything?

    I agree..so frustrating..Any of the UVA admits out there care to share with us your subfield?

    Thanks rockeater. I still have 10 out there, but am not feeling good about them after the way things have been going...At least I have Wisconsin, but who knows about the funding there? I heard that I may be able to get some money after the first semester (TAing probably), but I don't know if I can risk it financially.

    Just got my reject email from them. Less than 6 fellowships offered. So sad.

    You too Boogs! On another note, has anyone else not heard a peep from Princeton today? I'm wondering if they have the wrong email address for me or something or if there will be a second round of rejections going out next week. Any thoughts?

    I'm sorry about the bad news Boogs. Did Brown, by any chance, mention when they were going to notify everyone?

    are you referring to Princeton? If so, did it look like a mass email, or was it more personal?
  23. Brown, UVA, Iowa....grrrrr, the waiting is killing me..

    Nope - my advisor from Wisconsin just emailed me a very nice, lengthy email letting me know some more about the whole funding situation (they don't offer many multi-year fellowships) and asked if I was planning on coming to the recruitment weekend - nothing about reimbursement.

    Congrats to the person accepted to Illinois!
