If you're in the same boat as me without an acceptance, here's a special haiku just for you:
Checking my email
A blank stare through weary eyes
Please bring good tidings
I've been back and forth about how I should reply back to a department that wait listed me. Is there anything else you can share about what your advisor said (and any rationale)?
Hopefully this will help me make up my mind about what to do.
Thanks for updating us, I didn't know they were sending out offers already! Can you give any more details, e.g., was it a personalized email, phone call, etc.?
Does anyone have info on the other Midwest schools? I'm particularly interested in anything concerning Indiana, Purdue, or Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
I tried a chocolate scented beard comb for Marc Lange at UNC. All I have to show for it is a rejection letter.
Logic tells me that either i) bearded men don't enjoy scented gifts, or ii) both our gifts were lost in the mail; and since i) is patently false, I can only reasonably infer USPS is to blame. Next time I'll pay the extra 70 cents for tracking.
