sojourner

Same thing happened to me at UCSB. I was rejected and then contacted a month later saying it was a mistake. Then, a week later, I was prompty rejected again. Probably my worst rejection to date since they gave me hope and then yanked it away.

I e-mailed IU a few days ago to see if they could give me some idea of my waitlist status. I received a prompt reply that I was in the middle (what an unhappy place to be!) so it would probably be prudent to accept another offer. I appreciated the honesty.

Field: Public History. School turned down: ASU (no funding offer). :x

I actually got rejected from a school twice. And I don't mean that they simply sent me two notifications--that would have been preferable. I was originally rejected by the school in late February. A week ago, I received an e-mail stating that my initial rejection had been a mistake. This did not mean that I was admitted, just that a decision had not yet been reached. However, yesterday, I was, once again, rejected by the program. Someone, I think, is a bit of a rejection junkie and has found a way to reject students twice! Woe is me.

I had one immediate offer of funding and the other gave the deadline of March 15th--which they did not abide by since I am still waiting. I'm about to give in and e-mail, though I'm not sure how much that will help.

I'm waitlisted as well and would definitely go to IU if I was offered admission and funding.

So far (I am still awaiting one decision) my worst rejection came from South Carolina. I just happened to check their website and found my status changed from "PENDING" to "REJECTED." Capital letters and all. What's worse, I never even received an e-mail or post letter regarding the rejection. Lucky I decided to check the website or I would still be wondering.

I was accepted into ASU
