I feel beyond crap but I have to reapply. I need to try again. My only fear is just being incredibly unlucky, in general.

ok, I think they all hate me :unsure: :unsure: [/nowhere else to vent] eta: I got another email from UT Austin that said I was rejected. I think I got the message the first time. This makes my day.

so nothing from BU at least make the rejections quick

I actually have really crap hopes and am waiting for my rejection letter. Where is it then I can try to forget that this cycle ever happened

I don't think Ryan is lying, but he's probably giving the uni some time. Still, hopes totally not high after 3 rejections He seems like a lovely person though.

just got an email from Ryan Weberling in response to my enquiries and he says they (BU) hope to begin informing by the middle of next week

I'll try one or 2 more times and if I can't get in by then, fuck it, I'm doing something else. *sigh*

haven't called BU yet, and radio silence from the,m

Why is BU not informing? Everyone has rejected me already, they should get it over with so that I can prepare for next cycle :unsure: feel like calling them

GREs matter less if they trust your undergrad institution, according to some faculty I've spoken to. Esp if you're a student from a more or less unknown asian school like mine

k thanks. good to know. hope they begin informing soon.......

well I have no acceptances so far, and I think BU will reject me, but has anyone here even applied to BU??? and are they informing yet? [also I'm feverish. so I'm sick in addition to being completely useless]

errrrr on an unrelated note, has anyone heard from BU yet? From the results board they've already informed by this time LAST YEAR but THIS yr is silence

well I think one thing against me is that I am doing literature that's fairly traditional -- but my LOR writers and faculty tell me I would have better luck if I played the race card and did asian-american lit or something [i'm not even american!]. and of course affect studies isn't the rage....

not true?

my application was approved by a POI at one of my top choices -- so I'm doubly crushed. I think that your faculty will read it for you; try? where are you from??

thanks. here's to hoping this season will be over soon. sigh

no, not the race the nationality I was about to apply to comp lit because my LOR writers say people from my uni generally have no chance at competing for top English programs. But a POI was real supportive and wanted me to try for English -- that's done now though I suppose next year I'll try for comp lit

at least I don't have that. my LOR writers know how hard it is for us in Asian unis trying for English especially (not even comp lit). I don't even wanna jump off a bridge. I just want to hide somewhere and never appear. I haven't gone out for days and my friend is dragging me out tonight because he's said he's had enough of my moping. I'm sorta dreading it tbh but I'm going with what he says cuz it's probably good for me

I'm happy for the other people I just wish they would send out the rejections so that I can get this whole shitty affair over with...

I am just wishing they'd give the rejections out soon. I mean, we already know they've probably notified the people whom they want. Just to put our minds to rest completely, y'know? :unsure:

I'm beginning to think the same. Btw love beckett. just sayin'. Try. fail. try again, fail better.

my LOR writers are comforting me, saying that it tends to happen, esp with people from my uni (and location). sigh.

but not everyone who submits an app is on gradcafe I think it's quite likely that around 20 acceptances have been sent out with only 5-6 people reporting it on the board. Still, I appreciate your good wishes
