  1. Thanks. I heard from him yesterday.
  2. Rejected from UVA (received email directing me to my application page) and Cornell (email from professor). Cornell stings a bit more because it's my alma mater, but oh well. It's probably for the best that I not spend a decade at one school.
  3. Accepted at GWU yesterday, with funding. Rejected from Penn last week.
  4. Yup, Yale dumped me today too. Oh well, c'est la vie.
  5. I met with my former thesis advisor last April. He told me I should look at Temple, especially since I'm from the Philadelphia area and would like to stay here for the foreseeable future. I'm glad I did; their US history program is great.
  6. It was a slow day at work for me (I'm a paralegal). I began browsing GradCafe to see if anyone had heard anything from their respective schools, and then began checking my application pages. When I saw those delightful words "Decision: University Acceptance" I gasped and ran out into a nearby hallway, where I called my girlfriend and parents to tell them the news with tears streaming down my face. I spent the rest of the day feeling like I was on a cloud.
  7. Hello all! Long time lurker here. I thought I'd debut on GradCafe by mentioning that on Thursday the 10th, I discovered that I had been accepted to Temple and rejected from Princeton (I'm a 20th Century Americanist). I found out that I got into Temple first, which definitely helped take the sting out of not getting into Princeton.
