  1. Well, I just got officially rejected from my 'safety' school (UT-Austin). The odd thing is that I applied 2 years ago and got in with full funding but turned them down to accept a 2-year paid research job since I really wanted to gain some more experience (and to save some money). Do you think that might have killed my chances? I'm in-state, too. No acceptances yet...I'm getting scared because I know many of the places I applied have been notifying...ugh. Waiting: Princeton, MIT, Northwestern, NYU, UCLA, Georgetown Rejected: Yale, UT-Austin
  2. A friend of mine who has a lot of contacts at UT said that, to her knowledge, the decision/notification process is still going there. Hence, wouldn't worry too much.
  3. Re UT-Austin, I imagine it's not done. At least I hope not. I live in Texas. I wonder if that means my application is in a different pile or something.
  4. So what will Friday the 13th have in store? Wouldn't it be kind of kooky if schools deliberately decided to notify most of their rejects on Friday the 13th?
  5. I'm still waiting on NYU, also...getting a bit discouraged at this point.
  6. I am waiting on Georgetown, MIT, Northwestern, NYU, Princeton, UCLA, and UT-Austin. Keeping fingers crossed.
  7. I heard from Yale on Friday by e-mail.
