maximalist

I'm expecting a rejection letter, but their Admissions News page says:

Boy, I hope that's true, but I can't help but be pessimistic, considering the pathetic anti-intellectual movement running rampant in the U.S., including amongst our political "leaders."

Congrats!!

Still in limbo here. Somebody posted a waitlist result for Minnesota's Comm Studies program (which is the one I've been short stacked at), but I emailed the grad coordinator and was told there was no update for me yet, but that they do, in fact, keep a waitlist. I guess that's good though? Maybe media acceptances haven't been decided completely yet. Anyway, I'll just hang out in my personal purgatory over here until the bitter end.

Sorry, and I hear you. My only legitimate chance (unless Washington's English department throws me a curveball acceptance) is the place where I've made it into the small stack of 20. After speaking to a POI on Friday though, I know they're only taking 3 of the dozen or so media applicants (which includes me). Regardless, I might be in for quite a wait before I know something concrete, because they hold onto that stack of 20 until the very end as an unofficial waitlist.

Not explicitly, but...let's just say I've been looking at a few job postings over the past couple of days.

That wasn't my result, but I did get the official rejection from Comm Studies at 12:12am CST today.

Ah, I see. Thanks for the info and congrats again!

Thanks for letting us know, and congratulations! If you don't mind, was the email individually sent? Or was it a mass email? And, what do you mean by a personal letter? Sorry, it's my first choice, so I'm freaking out a bit here...

Anybody claiming the new USC acceptance on the results board?

Thanks. Unfortunately, I bit the bullet and emailed UNC. It's a no-go. For the rest of you folks still waiting though, notifications will apparently be sent from the Graduate School over the next three to four weeks. Damn, at this point, I'll be stoked to get in ANYWHERE.

Well, no email yesterday from Vilma at UNC. I'm going to take that as not so good news...unless (and this is me in fantasy land), they're all like, "Hey, let's email admitted students on Friday. That'd be a nice way to end the week!" I can dream, right?

Cool, thanks! I'm definitely not going to be able to focus on this class I'm sitting in now.

Thanks for the condolences! And, congrats on the UNC waitlist! Out of curiosity, was the email directly to you? Or was it a mass email? (I'm hoping they're maybe working their way down the alphabet or something with emails, if they're going out individually...).

Is that good or bad panic? Hopefully, it's good! Also, it looks like Brown's Modern Culture and Media program called their 4 admits yesterday. I think there was somebody else frequenting the Comm area who applied there too. Oh well though, it was a long shot for me anyway.
