Let's start one, please!!

This is true! I still have an obviously diminished chance compared to some. I just don't have the academic record for these schools unless they are REALLY impressed by my writing. & thank you. My fellowship is just a nomination now, though... I'm up against people in other departments, and I feel like science folks will always win these kinds of things. But if I don't get it they will offer me the regular TA. I am very happy with it. I hope yours is coming soon! I don't think any of us can survive the wait much longer...

I'm sure my application was looked at for no more than 60 seconds. I really applied to Vandy, Duke, Chicago, and NYU just because I'm a masochist. I know realistically that these schools do not want me, but... but. but.

It looks like Vanderbilt has kept a secret waitlist in the past. I wouldn't be surprised if they're doing this again... we haven't seen any acceptances or real wait lists yet though, either, so if you've not rejected yet... well, yay.

My last name is an H. It seemed to all happen at once, tough.

PLEASE PLEASE get accepted so I can live through you.

This does make me feel slightly better.

I wouldn't say that! Vandy takes like 2%. I wouldn't take a rejection from a school of that caliber (or, really, from any school) as a reflection of any of your other chances. It's still super early!

Glad somebody finally got to see it! it is a little anticlimactic after all those posts, but put that ish in full screen and, as always, stare at the middle for even more good times.

I'm not sure if the overall program was a good fit for me, but I would have loved to have worked with Colin Dayan. Oh wells. It was a reach school for sure.

OMG THE PICTURE WILL NEVER WORK. Try this: http://vicemag.tumblr.com/post/14227746520/thecreatorsproject-tricks-squares-1-and-2-are But dogs are better, anyway. Too bad I am out of up-votes again.

Maybe it will be good news! A LOT of rejections seem to have gone out at once...

To quote someone from last year, and a great pop icon of our time: "It's definitely not a Nashville party."

Congrats(ish?) Deadinthewater! I'm going to guess Iowa now that they have another acceptance up... LOL.

Boo, my trippy picture didn't work. Again, stare at the center for a while and then look around. Here you are:

No, but I used to have like every Gia Carangi Vogue ever because I found them for $2 each, but I sold all of them except the infamous Nov '80 track mark issue. That I still have and probably won't sell for a long time. Other than evidence of that particular moment in pop culture, I try not to own too many expensive things that I have to carry around when I move. For this reason, the best edition of a book is the cheapest edition!

Any updated thoughts on Morgantown?

Yes.

Congrats damequixote! I wonder if they are doing Lit acceptances at the same time

Yup, I played again! And now I see a pink box everywhere I look...

Ok, guys, speaking of trippy trips, stare at the center of this image for like 120 seconds. Then look at other stuff. Enjoy.

NOPE; THAT WAS NOT RELAXING. But as soon as I turned it off, everything looks really trippy... it messed with my eyes.

Relax to this game: http://www.ferryhalim.com/orisinal/g2/bubble.htm

Not enough anger!

So.... if I don't believe in free will or purpose (porpoise), can I still play? Just look at this, and tell me you're still upset:
