I also haven't heard from any of the schools I applied but OSU. Quite hungry for good news. Heck, any news! On second thought not bad news. I am sending waves of positive energy to the universe.

sir grantman cheer up! you will hear good news very soon. I am also pulling for you, when I am not pulling for myself everything will be ok

Congrats CooCooCachoo!! It was high time you heard some good news.

well my quant is 165 so it has better be possible

Sorry for not being able to make it more haiku-like jsclar. How about this "Even though i knew OSU was going to reject me after seeing so many acceptances in the results survey, getting the actual rejection still sucks".

Rejection breathes OSU, Sucks, it still Foreknowledge regardless worst Haiku ever..

length-wise

Happy for ND hopefuls. Fingers crossed for you guys. Soccer note - So what about that African Cup final huh?

I think OSU and Stanford are done. For the next week my guesses are Rochester, Princeton, Minnesota and the rest of Maryland, UVA, Northwestern and Yale. Although I don't think Harvard will notify next week, if they do, they will do so on Friday. Congrats Kolja!! You have some great options to choose from. If I had to guess though, I would say you won't go to ND next September but will enroll at one of the schools you did not yet hear from. iwouldpreferanonymity - thanks buddy RWBG - Great topic (profiles, results, sop 2012) and great advice, so thanks on behalf of the future applicants for starting it. I wanted to share this here in order not to disrupt the flow in there. I will surely contribute at the end of the cycle

I think Georgetown's Arab Studies funds a fair amount of people (unlike MSFS and security studies, to my knowledge) so that might be one of the better options.

You make us all look like great people in comparison. Thanks fella. We will be toast if we do not hear anything from them until -say- Wednesday. And yes good sir, that IS an omen Sir, yes sir! (a delicious sir sandwich for you coach)

well please let us know if there is still a glimpse of hope sir grantman loved this one

good to know. i wasn't ready to put another unofficial rejection to my signature yet, i need a few more days to compose myself. I also haven't heard anything. Though OSU is almost certainly a rejection, and UVA and Northwestern started sending out decisions. Serenity now..

I agree completely with RWBG. I am a good example of how taking a year off might NOT make you a more competitive candidate. FSU is a very good school, and worth serious consideration.

Such fury and disappointment guys. I feel like I am left under a pile of rubble with all the negative rep points . I get why people might get angry but hey, I have no acceptances so far. So if I can empathize I think everyone else can also at least try. Best of luck to everyone for the remainder of the cycle!

This is just a highly unlikely hypothetical scenario created in the mind of our nervous tergellian, so let's relax a little bit. Tergy will be fine wherever s/he will choose to attend. If not, then she can think about transferring - I can't think of anything more normal than that. Let's remember that s/he is also experiencing the same process that we are all going through, and the fact that she has good results so far doesn't change that fact. Everyone is considering zillions of different scenarios right now, the only difference between everyone and tergellian is that s/he decided to share this one with us.

I love where this thread is heading toward

wow guys, today has been a busy day apparently! tomorrow is probably going to be even greater yay! @dragon - i didn't check petersons for that, but polisci forum in the gradcafe is definitely among the busier ones

If you call that a living. I feel like all hope and life energy in my body have been drained. I don't even feel anxious anymore. I just want this process to be over.

Congrats for the Chicago, OSU Notre Dame and UVA admits! The more good news, the merrier this forum is.

Another OSU acceptance was posted on the results board. Since I still didn't hear anything from them, I think it is fair to assume that I am rejected. I am afraid I will say similar things for Northwestern in a few days. Such an uplifting start..
