There's been a couple more now, seems legit. I saw them and instantly thought of you -- it took me a couple moments to remember I'm waiting to hear from Cornell too, looks like I'm more invested in your application than my own lol. They've been notified by email, so there's still hope. Rooting for you!

They did that to me too! Took a good while for my heart rate to go back down. @Ternwild and @fortsibut, right here with you too. I know I've been silently rejected from four, but couldn't they just. . .let me know? I get that they're busy but it still makes me go ?

If it makes you feel any better, March is in 8 days! I don't get how January lasted for 74 days, February has lasted 4 days and the 2019 cycle application waiting purgatory has lasted for a good five years.

Well, that was a rollercoaster from start to finish hahah.

That's sounds like the best day you could hope for! I love love love Hamilton, I was in NYC for two days this summer and spent eight hours of it in the cancellation queue at the theatre. My seat was 1A; I've never been happier to feel someone spitting on me. Potentially the best day of my life. Did you have a good time? But also, big congrats on getting another offer!!

Did you get an actual rejection or are you going by OHSP's post?

Nope, but I also wasn't interviewed. Well done!!

Ah well, that's that then. Thanks for letting us know!

I feel this so much. I'm deeply hoping I'll get at least one thing of individualised feedback this cycle because while I have a good idea of the mistakes I made, I'm not sure what I could be missing. I'm already dreading getting rejected from everywhere next year too. Good luck to you! And thanks to everyone who has contributed, your input is fantastic!

Kevin Kruse. Fighting racists and other bad people on the daily. Love him to bits!

Echoing @londonrain9 and @ResilientDreams -- I've a 2014 retina pro too! It's still going strong, and I love it, been using it for the IB (two years) and three years of uni. I love it to the extent where I'm deeply worried what I'd do if it broke. I'm not a fan of any of the newer Macs, but damn I don't wanna go back to windows. Never had to do repairs or anything on mine. Hoping it lives forever haha.

I'm thinking that it might be a POI choice whether they interview or not, but I'm certainly bracing for a rejection. Hope is there for all of us though! ❤️

No!!! and it's driving me nuts! aaaaa!!! There's been acceptances occasionally on the results page. If you hear something, please let me know ?

I only decided I want to apply in early October, lol. Think it was my downfall too. Wishing you luck with Cornell and Northwestern!

I'm so sure I've literally seen the word 'plebs' being used, in a non-ironic context. It makes my skin crawl!

This is so sound, I'm gonna try to follow this advice instead of going on a refreshing rampage hahah

I really, really hope this is your year -- you've obviously been very resilient in applying! I've seen a couple (out of hundreds...) people say they got their result by checking the portal and that fact is haunting me

I'm in the same boat with Penn and NYU -- I know Penn's a lost cause, but NYU is truly keeping me on my toes. Rejections definitely suck, but at least a PhD takes so much less time here in the UK. And there's a distinct lack of Trump :'D

I'm pretty sure that even if I got accepted to everywhere I haven't heard back from so far, and Yale rescinded their rejection and begged me to go, this would still count as a bad time I'm never getting back the endless hours I spent on this website in January and refreshing the application portals -- the first time I heard anything was over a week into Feb. Ah well, lessons learned for the next app cycle!

I'm pretty sure Duke's is next week - @Karou would know better!

Holy shit, that's so dark. I hope that the initial poster is doing ok, looks like they're taking it pretty hard. Also, @pyramidstuds, that is such a messed up email subject line. Hope you do very well in UNC!

I'm all out of reactions for today, but thank you!! In a few months, it'll all be behind us like a long, bad dream!

I'm an EU citizen, so it's actually really affordable -- I'd get a loan that covers all of tuition and a bit of the living costs too Thank you! ❤️ I'm so confused about NYU, I keep checking their portal hoping to hear anything, but I also know they sometimes keep people waiting til April. Hope you hear from Brown and Penn soon!

I see Penn's admitted some people today -- have any of you heard good news? ☺️

I don't understand how I can simultaneously have accepted that I'm not getting in this cycle and I'm looking forward to a MA in the UK, but still keep checking this website all the time and being so damn hopeful. Also, Duke rejections didn't come out yesterday like in previous years. I just want them to make it official--aaahhh! Happy late bday @historygeek!
