[Who hasn't gotten accepted yet?]

5 Rejections, 2 accepted but waitlisted for funding, 1 waitlist for admission with funding, and waiting on 2 to get back to me. Feel like I still have a good chance of getting in somewhere with funding but man am I feeling the stress

[Brown really isn't gonna get back to us today!]

So lame! They got back to people last year on February 14th. I really thought they'd get back to us this week oh well

Did either of you attend Hampshire College, by any chance? I didn't graduate from there but attended my first year, and they also had a bell that the Div 3 students (Hampshire's term for seniors) would ring when they completed their final project. Tradition said if you rang the bell before then you would never graduate. The students also didn't wear caps and gowns when graduating, I think they could wear whatever they wanted.

At my current program, we don't need tickets for graduation, we can invite whoever we want. The space they hold it in is enormous so there's plenty of room.

Ha yea I did! Caps and gowns weren't required but I still wore a cap for fun.

Their econ grad program is in the College of Arts and Sciences. What is "SPA"?

We have a giant bell that gets rung that is supposedly a tradition except no one ever knows it exists until graduation day when you hear loud gong sounds every 5 minutes

We do that too! Except at my school everyone is aware of it because its on the middle of campus. Students ring it after they finish their senior thesis so at the end of April through mid May its ringing pretty constantly.

As someone who didn't care much for their high school's ceremonies, this one felt really special

Thanks :)

And yea still no word, I'll try giving them a call after Christmas but the administrators could have the whole week off so I will probably have to wait until the next week to find out more info

So I went on American University's website today to check on my application status. I wasn't really expecting to hear anything until February. But it says I got in! I apparently was accepted yesterday but I never received an email or anything and just happened to look at the website today.

 

But there is no information about funding or anything like that? Should I expect to receive physical mail / an email sometime soon with that information?
