One of my professors pointed me towards this broadcast from NPR this morning. It's an interview with the Amherst admissions committee about how arbitrary the system can be. It's technically about undergrad applicants, but I found it interesting anyway, as you can "listen in" on clips from their decision meetings. http://www.npr.org/2...Process?ps=cprs

Thanks for your support everyone! It was really rough when I first found out, but things are looking up now. I got an MA offer from my undergrad program, so at least I have options. (I think my adviser felt sorry for me...)

Yeah you're absolutely right, that admission was me. Sorry to cause a mini panic! I'm not really a member here, but I'd visited on several occasions to see what to expect on my applications. I'd given up, because I've already been rejected everywhere I applied except UVa and Penn, and (as you all know) they've notified everyone who has a chance. So imagine my surprise when last night, I got an email that results were in, and I was accepted! I posted on the results forum to let everyone else know that there's still hope. And I told my family and my professors. Then Dr. Braden emailed me today, saying there was a glitch and I'm not in after all. I know these things happen, but was it just me who got this false acceptance? I'm really crushed, UVa was one of my top two choices.
