my rejection came 4 minutes after i posted this i am glad umich values my mental health
Same, just received my rejection e-mail. Sad but feel relieved that they don't drag things along like a lot of the other programs I applied to. This was the first notification I've heard from any of my schools and I appreciate Michigan's timeliness even though I'm disappointed to be rejected.

Welp, the fact that Michigan and UCSB are having movement today is a vomit inducing bit of news to wake up to! Kind of my last shots. Fingers crossed but steeling for the worst.
Anxious as hell about Michigan too! High hopes for good news for the both of us

Hey y'all! First thing this morning I checked my inbox and was surprised to find an acceptance from U of Michigan! I posted the result. For those who applied be on the lookout as I guess acceptances are going out today.
Congrats! Did they update your application portal as well!? How exciting for you.

I didn't answer a single question on the quant section, and I was just accepted to an English PhD with full fellowship. I hope this helps someone out there feel a little bit better. Haha.
I, too, skipped through the Q section!

I'm an avid climber and was texting my mom about some progress I've made lately and she excitedly responded "Wow! If you end up going to Colorado you'll have some great climbing there." I didn't have the heart to tell her about my implied rejection so I just responded with a meager "haha yeah." Talk about pouring salt on a wound...
-
@sugilite Glad to know I'm not the only one! It's giving me so much anxiety, though.

Has anyone else literally heard nothing from the schools they applied to? Although a few of my schools have started notifying, it's complete radio silence on my end. I just want the silence to be broken so I can breathe!

I check my emails and interfaces in class hahaha!
I'm honestly about to get to that point. Class is just a nice distraction from this purgatorial refreshing existence, haha.

alright y'all, my challenge is to not obsessively check the inbox today. thirty times per hour should be pretty reasonable. thoughts?
First thing I do the second I get out of class is turn on my phone and refresh every interface possible.

They should really issue acceptances based on who refreshes their portal more- clearly that's a sign of who truly wants to be admitted, right?
In that case, I'd be crushing it. Good ole wishful thinking

@simile Hello, and congratulations! Reading this is really reassuring because I also got really down on myself with that stray acceptance. Thank you for this info
-
May or may not have just torn a telemarketer to shreds in my anxiety-ridden anger at them calling and giving me false hope that it's a school notifying.

Just realized there was a Penn. State acceptance on the board from Feb. 1? Anyone?? I thought Penn. State was a much later decision. Anyone claim this? Or has anyone else heard anything? or is this a rogue..
I saw that too and posted here asking if anyone would claim it, but no one did. I have since been checking my application portal frequently, but nothing has changed other than a pending status.

They must be doing them one by one- 10 minutes ago it wasn't there, but I logged in again, clicked on the application, and right at the top it said "Status Update" with a link to click, which took me to the letter.
Thank you so much. I was going to spend these next couple of hours between classes trying to be productive, but it looks like they will be spent furiously refreshing my portal/e-mail. (Although that habit is nothing new these days!)
Congrats again on making the waitlist!
-
@placeinspace Wow, congrats! I'm not seeing anything on my portal. Where on the page did that notification pop up?

I haven't heard anything from CU Boulder which probably means a rejection- I am honestly RELIEVED. This is the first school I've gotten a fairly definitive response on so far and man does it feel good to have something solid.
I haven't either but it doesn't feel too great. I really did like their program and I'm a bit anxious because my first news seems to be all negative/implied rejections, given that Vanderbilt also notified over the weekend. And it definitely doesn't help that Starbucks Rewards Club keeps blowing up my e-mail and giving me false hope (*forced dismissive laughter*).

Congratulations @kendalldinniene! I really hope the funding comes through.

Northwestern and Michigan were/are kind of the dream
I didn't apply to Northwestern but I feel you on Michigan, it is definitely my dream school. (Although I'm not trying to get my hopes high for any school because you never know what curveballs you'll be thrown.)

My new morning routine:
Check email. See nothing.
Check spam. Nothing.
Check portals. Again nothing.
Shakingly and nervously check GradCafe results page fearing that all the acceptances and waitlists have already gone out.
Rinse. Repeat!
Same. I've even acquired a new horrible routine of checking my phone in the middle of the night whenever I wake up, which results in more anxiety-ridden sleeplessness. I'm restless!
-
@MetaphysicalDrama I'm sorry to hear that, but it seems like you have a really positive attitude about all this, which is something I hope I can practice as this dismal cycle carries on. Wishing you the best for your other prospective schools!
-
@kendalldinniene Thank you for your kind words! I'm hoping so too.

Well, given the wave of Vanderbilt acceptances and the waitlisted individual on the results board that heard a few hours ago, I'm starting to think that perhaps this is an implied rejection. What a crummy feeling. At least the schools I applied to have started notifying.

Were the e-mail notifications for UVA acceptances form e-mails or personalized?
