    Cincinnati MDB acceptance!  I guess the committee met on Friday after interviews were over and made their decisions pretty quickly.  It looks like my season is wrapped up

    So this is my application status: Your file has been forwarded to the department for an admission recommendation. It has been like this for a couple of months now. I don't know if this is good or bad because I turned in the application two weeks before the deadline and within 5 days, the application status changed from "complete" to "University evaluating file for preliminary eligibility" to what I have written above. Should I be excited or nervous?

    I know I was just on here posting worried about not getting in anywhere....so if you're reading this, sometimes really great things happen when you least expect them to! In my case, it was in the middle of grocery shopping. The rest of the produce section was not nearly as thrilled as I was. 
    I interviewed 2/1-2/3 and got a call today from an admissions committee member (who I sat next to at dinner one night lmao - cool guy) saying that the committee met today and that they are definitely extending me an offer, official stuff to follow in the next few days. Woohoo! I can now delete the lab tech jobs I bookmarked today as a plan B and sit back and wait to hear from my other top choice, but I would be equally as happy to attend here

    Second acceptance from Boston College! Received an informal email from a professor I've been in contact with about their offer and that I've been nominated for a fellowship (which provides a hefty bonus to my stipend for five years).
    Good luck to those going to the upcoming interview weekend!

    siliconchins got a reaction from emjayco in What were you doing when you received your acceptance?   
    I was in the shower when my girlfriend saw the acceptance pop up in my email. She came screaming into the room, making me think something was wrong and jump out of the tub dripping wet. I got everything wet and scared my cats to death, but it was worth it for the relief of knowing that I'll be getting a PhD from a great program no matter what happens in my future interviews. And then I checked the email again and again to make sure I wasn't misinterpreting it :P.

    I had a really good week. Received an acceptance to one of my programs, so it's a relief to know that I'll be getting a PhD! Also, a paper that I submitted last year was just accepted for publication pending revisions.
