aaaand just got a rejection. fun times.

Oh man. Cornell is one of my top choices ? Anyone want to claim this?

Also NYU is rolling out waitlists, which, I'm afraid, means those several acceptances were probably it...

Wow! Thank you, all. It’s strangely reassuring to hear that there are others in the same boat (obviously sucks to be in this particular boat, but at least there’s some sense of solidarity). I’m 4 rejections deep, possibly 2 more implied ones, and overall 11 more places to hear back from, but the anxiety is ramping up for sure with each passing day and each new result post. Sending major good vibes to all of us still without a sure footing, and fingers crossed for us all to end up in a PhD programme after all!

I'm out of reactions for the day, but just wanted to say congrats!!

If ya'll don't mind, I was wondering... has anyone else here not gotten an acceptance yet?

Same... from past years' results posts, it seemed like this week would be hell, with decisions coming out every day, but so far it's just been frustrating.

Oh lord, @meghan_sparkle, you’re really killing it. Can the rest of us get a lil’ dash of your sparkle please??

Looks like Irvine is getting on with it! Didn’t get an interview request, though, so now I’m wondering if interviews are standard and if I should prepare for a rejection?

I had *just* been looking at that and wondering the same thing!

Thank you, and congrats again!

Congrats!! If you don’t mind my asking, did your POI call you? And if so, did they mention anything about the timeline for the release of more decisions?

Oh man so it’s really happening huh ?

I love NYU but if I’m being honest with myself, it probably wasn’t the best fit. Still, the idea of another rejection sends me into a panic. It’s hard going through this ‘will they won’t they’ game without a single acceptance to fall back on, y’all...

There’s an NYU acceptance on the board... ?

I'm also hoping for boston, michigan, and cornell

All kinds of hopes and prayers and wishes for us all, and especially those of us who still haven’t had any acceptances. May the adcom gods smile upon us ?

Irvine is strangely silent... does anyone know what’s going on there?

It’s crazy how this messes with one’s mind. I still have 11 schools to hear back from (one of which is an implied rejection), but having already had to read through 4 rejection letters is making me feel like all hope is lost. Rationally, I know I still have a long way to go before I’m actually at that point, but the emotions of it all, man...

I think we all better buckle up because next week promises to be ~eventful~...

Well at least this Yale thing was quick.

First Yale acceptance on the board ?

Rejected at Chicago, as expected. Didn’t get referred to MAPH, either, which now worries me... though perhaps that’s because I already have an MA...?

This has been a pretty slow week, which means the next one is likely to be rapid-fire acceptances & rejections from a whole slew of programmes ?

Has anyone heard anything from Irvine? Last cycle notifications came out around this time...
