What did you think of the places you saw? Anything that your first reaction was 'no way!' ?

Anyone else pretty sure they're done? In its past, it's usually just rejections this late in. Not really sure why I'm posting, I wouldn't go this program now anyway... But I hope I'm wrong for all of those still waiting to hear good news from here!

Yes, please do so! My visit weekend is at the end of this month. Are you rooming with people you know?

There's a decent chance I'll be at Penn State Fall 'O9. Glad to see there's someone else on this board talking about this school! I'm not sure what to do about housing yet. I've done some looking online at the area. Have you been up there? What do you mean calling people for housing?

to which department?

I have absolutely no information to add (sorry - really wish I did), but I just have to say that it's not normal how much it annoys me when gradcafe is down. I mean, it's not like I'm missing out on vital information, but it sure does feel like that!

Wow, that was a disturbing post.

Another school I just remembered that I applied to and haven't heard back from -- Maryland. They already accepted a few of you on here, so it's annoying that they can't just get back to the rest of us with our rejections already! My testudo status still just says 'decision pending' Anyone ever read 'No Exit' ? I'm definitely having my Sartre moments..."L'enfer, c'est les autres" has turned into...."L'enfer, c'est les graduate schools"

Okay so maybe this isn't EXACTLY appropriate, but I keep playing this song and I keep playing this part of the song over and over again...lol "Don't you know it's gonna be alright Alright Alright You say you got a real solution Well you know We'd all love to see the plan You ask me for a contribution Well you know We're doing what we can But when you want money for people with minds that hate All I can tell you is brother you have to wait Don't you know it's gonna be alright Alright Alright " I kind of cheated with the 4 lines thing but my 4 lines are the bolded ones

Iron and Wine (to help chill out) and the Beatles should go on this list...

To the UC Davis poster: This just has to be a way or rejecting everyone, but letting them know it's going to take the graduate school the rest of the week to post results onto your account. Probably those who have been rejected have last names as the beginning of the alphabet, and those at the end of the alphabet will hear soon their rejection.

So can anyone who is at Penn State give us some information about the housing situation. I'd probably want a 1 br apt off campus, not surrounded by a million undergraduates. Are there any nicer areas you'd ecommend? Any idea on the price ranges?

Well, that at least ends speculation that they're not done admitting people. They're done.

So, are we thinking that ND is now done? Congrats guys.

yep, you should call and ask where they're at and if it's postal or what! lol

and I'd like to know which professor emailed them

That'd be much earlier than in years past if they got back next week to people. And Friday doesn't necessarily mean that it will be their last meeting or that they will get back to people next week even if it is, right?

I like small towns, but they're not the same as huge college towns, y'know? How close are you to civilization in State College? Basics first: movie theatres, good food, malls - then museusm, airports, etc.

Can we get this thread going again? I'm one of the polisci Penn State admits, and I'm seriously considering this program BUT state college or whatever is a DEFINITE negative. Can anyone give an idea of the grad community? etc?

I see there are a few Penn State acceptances, and I just wanted to post that I'm one of them! yay!

I HATE weekends. Federpete, let us know what you think of TEFL. Where would you teach next year?

Polly, That's just a form letter they sent to all of us. Mid-March was when people heard last year.

Look like a whole bunch of people applied to Notre Dame. For those of you that did, what's your field? BTW - ND never gets back before March - check the database....so no huge shock there.

To the UCLA poster: There's a rumor that hearing from UCLA now would be a rejection. Is that how it works, the people quickly rejected hear first? If so, I don't think anyone here wants to hear from UCLA right now.
