hey, i'm new to this forum and have to admit it is quite a relief in this (horible) waiting time to see that i'm not the only one refreshing my inbox every 2 minutes or so...
i also got an acceptance e.mail from uw-madison yesterday saying that i have been nominated for the university fellowship :-).
however, and this is the weird part, they didn't use my name in the beginning of the e.mail, only "dear applicant".
in addition, i checked my status and it is still listed as "app under review"
anyone here had similar/diff experience?
( i am afraid that they will e.mail me again saying "oops, we got the wrong applicant")
