"I have no f***ing idea why they rejected me. Top school in India, 4.0 GPA, 2 internships in USA and Germany, 2 years of UG research, 3 very strong recommendations, ToEFL 119. This was my safety school."
 
lol maybe it was your attitude

The best rejection comment yet. 

Loved this:
"Today I've sent an e-mail to follow up the decision process. In response, I've learnt that I'm rejected. It was like Schrödinger's E-mail."

Posted today on Hopkins mfa results:
 
”I’m sick of being ghosted by men and MFA programs, so I just called them.”
 
Me too, friend. Me too. 

My new favorite is from someone who was rejected from Harvard's English Phd: "It was a perfect fit, with two really great POIs. But apparently they didn't think so. 0a/12r. This is my second shut-out two years in a row. Maybe I should channel my rage into law school, become a DC hack and defund the arts out of spite."
 

Just contacted Caltech. Apparently all their admits have gone out and they hope to update the website by the end of the week. Hope that puts some minds at rest!

I got the call on January 19. Their visit weekend is 2/23-2/25, and the deadline to RSVP is 2/14 so they might do another wave. BTW, I applied for physical chem. 

First acceptance - was waiting in line in my office building's café while my friend bought a bagel at like 2 pm.
Second & third acceptances - sitting at work actually doing work.
Fourth acceptance - sitting at my desk at work, scrolling through reddit. At first I was peeved that some annoying phone call was disturbing my time wasting, but when I realized that it was one of my top choice programs, I was so happy.
Called my parents & texted my friends after all four. Seriously, getting in to grad school has made my crappy job SO MUCH better - especially now that I have an end date in sight!

I called Davis yesterday and the admissions officer told me that he was expecting the committee to give him the last round of decisions today - so hopefully decisions will be released either today or early next week. He also said that they're going to release all decisions and not just going to ghost people who were denied until the end of March.

Got in to Colorado state! Definitely my backup school but I’m still excited to finally get an acceptance. Does anyone on here know much about the program (organic)?

I don't think it's bad to call departments to see if they're still sending out offers. Another thing to do is to look at the results page of grad cafe from previous years and see when your schools have sent out acceptances in the past. A lot of schools seem to send out acceptances in the first few weeks of February. 

Just got into UW Madison! My premature panic was unwarranted. 

Admitted to the University of South Carolina!!! I know it is not a top program but I was so worried I wouldn't get any acceptances at all I can't describe how happy I am

Congrats! I just got in to UIUC also, literally don't believe it. My jaw dropped when I saw the email. Pretty good Tuesday to say the least

I got my first acceptance and it's to my top choice! I can't believe it, I didn't expect to get in, let alone this early. I'm scared to accept the offer in case I wake up....
