FAIL. I got the mass rejection email with the blind carbon copy. Too miffed at this lack of manners to feel much. I know where I'm not applying to next year at least. For $85 I expect some better manners. And you're 'dear applicant' not 'dear mr/ms so and so'. At least the rest bother to reject you by name

I saw from the results page the waitlistees have been emailed (at least, 2 of them?). Sigh. Well, nothing for me. Burnt yet again

thanks guys I am convinced, though, that the universal cure to everything is tea. Why do I feel so much better after downing tons of it? [in any case, nothing from cornell yet. if you're going to reject me do it quickly please]

all this waiting and etc has got to me. feverish, sore throat, nose is perpetually stuck. sucks

nothing yet either. from what the other poster said, I'm not expecting anything soon. sigh.

I think the average acceptance rate is 10-12. For me, nothing yet. I'm eternally pessimistic, so I'm asking... they don't send the rejections on the same day as the acceptances?

congrats!!

but there have been more admits than 2 already? do they have rolling admissions... how does it work

now on the results page there's someone from Econs I think? "bullshit on the UVa admits" this is very confusing.... :S

I know I shouldn't, but am checking the results page nonstop. I saw that there was one rejection via website.... rushed to UVa to check my account... no news or anything. ngghghg. forget sleep

the tension agh. and yes, about 12, they say, from their website. If you get waitlisted though you don't get a call right? just not sure about how this whole thing works -- first round of apps.

who applied for cornell this year [F11]? [for english] I've heard nothing though they said mid-late feb... am assuming the obvious

Hmm. I suppose the next time I could try to apply to both. I did research mostly on US unis, because I thought there was no chance of funding in the UK. Also I'd prefer to have coursework even though I've an MA because I feel like getting more knowledge forced into you never hurts. I'm not even sure where I'm working. I um, have papers on modernists. But my MA thesis is a comparative study between the narratology of Jane Austen and Virginia Woolf (with respect to their use of irony; it has a good dose of Kierkegaard too). Then I have 2 conference papers, one on Larkin (and war) and one on Joyce and the Carnival. When people hear what I'm doing they usually say "huh" or "Gee, never thought of that" >_< [this ranges from good 'O, what an insight' to 'I do NOT think this will work']. So I can't even really begin to 'pin' my 'areas' down. I was very worried about applying to PhD programs, but my sup convinced me that marketing my 'weirdness' would help [evidently. not? working?]

well if they reject us I do hope they're going to be quick about it. No point prolonging the agony...

isn't it terribly difficult to get funding in the UK though? I mean, I heard that the US is more likely to fund...

Cry, listen to Bach and Radiohead. Apply for teaching jobs. Sigh.

I wonder when news on this will be out. Going nuts.... >_< [gone?] I'm still smarting from my two official rejections and one unofficial one -- at this point I just want all the news already, rejection or not >_< Then at least it'd all be over...

2 rejections in 2 consecutive days. I'm pretty sure I'll get no acceptances -- I only applied to 5 after all. Now I wish they would just speed it up and send me the other 3 already. sigh.

same here. I think, rejected

rejected :cry:

You mean you have ah, rhetorical questions. and yes, I would like Brown to send all rejections/waitlists/acceptances at one go too (like princeton did). I am becoming less and less hopeful as the minutes pass

it sounds like what people do after conferences...

I need that party. My nose is suffering; I've been prescribed pills but still can't sleep... I'm a mess

I have added mine (my rejection) already. Sigh.

to get a call from the USA would be so intimidating though! and the time difference. Gah, nervous.
