Yikes that's rough, really sorry about this. I think it might not entirely have been formatting from the way this was worded (see bold). Also, may I ask what kind of file conversion you did? (since I'm pretty sure I uploaded my statements straight from word rather than converting to pdf :s)

Princeton rejection gang lessgoooo who wants to live in NJ anyway amirite (Rutgers admissions committee pls ignore this post)

My god that sounds awful... glad to hear your house is okay and wishing all the best for your friend

Thanks whoever mentioned the severe weather in Texas on the results page, did not realise that was happening. Hope any of y'all affected by it are keeping safe and well.

Did not know about that- thanks!! At least that's one we know when to expect!

Thanks for the update!

Looks like we're in for another rough week. Wishing all the best for y'all, and many congrats to the amazing acceptances I've been seeing!

From my list, I think Michigan will likely come out this week, and UT Austin should be coming out soon but they're already way later than previous years, so who knows. As for the maybe-this-weeks I've got UVA, it's possible Princeton will start releasing acceptances toward the end of this week, and Rutgers *might* start releasing acceptances this weekend (if not, I'm assuming next weekend, since they seem to mostly release on weekends). Irvine might release their rejections soon- I'm taking it as an implied rejection, since they seem to have released their acceptances.

I believe the 2 figure was for comp lit, not English, hence the confusion. You can see on the results page for comp lit that someone was apparently told this by their POI who they contacted.

CONGRATULATIONS ! that's amazing!!

gradcafe, the only fun stay-at-home date I'll be having involves me pounding the refresh button on my gmail account

the waiting is just so! damn! excruciating! at this point. Anyone else kind of losing their general concentration? I feel like I'm usually pretty good at avoiding procrastination but it feels 10x more difficult to work at the moment. I have a backup plan, I know my chances are slim as heck and I'm not even really scared of what will happen if I don't get in anywhere, but the overwhelming uncertainty is getting to me big time.

Movement for UMich English has got me antsy enough to forget about the (totally expected) Cornell rejection... Wondering if the posted rejection was actually for English and Education, since results for that usually tend to come out earlier, and nobody else from the general programme seems to have heard anything? Either way, hoping we hear back soon... best of luck everyone, happy to see some of y'all getting very well-deserved acceptances!!

This just made my day-- have been rooting for you!! Many congratulations!!

First rejection woo! Wasn’t expecting an acceptance, but form rejection letters just feel painful

Interesting area... best of luck with the interview!

nope, but huge congratulations !!!

Welllllllll it looks like I should probably give up that last grain of hope I had for Stanford lol

Ooo I haven't had a G&T in a while, will be stealing that idea... Massive congratulations to those who have been accepted, although it can be disappointing to see acceptances on the board it always makes me happy to know that someone out there has had a well-deserved win !! Also good luck to all of us in purgatory/with rejections, keep hanging in there (barely)!

My genius strategy: Sets projected decision dates so I don’t worry until then --> Worry anyways -->Worry even more when the projected dates pass and I haven’t heard anything

This is hilarious- I wish my voice of dread was that entertaining!

English. Again, I'm pretty unsure tho

Then again, I've heard otherwise on previous threads, and it seems all who've participated in grad cafe forums and are now attending UCI were interviewed. I'm not totally sure what the answer is, but if anyone knows for sure do let us know!

Literally same. They're probably the best fit for me, and I can't help thinking how much I'd love it there, but I've made myself think I definitely won't get in (which is always more likely with grad admissions, but still), which means I definitely won't get in anywhere that's a worse fit... I just want to know dammit!?

Oops, no they're not, but they should be out any time now (likely this week from past trends). Sorry to cause any unnecessary alarm!
