I wish! Can't. Stop. Eating. It. Ahhhhhh.

Yeah...to be honest, I think when most of us have shared news of acceptances, it's been to give everyone else on the board an idea of what kind of timetable these schools are operating on. Personally, I find it helpful to know who's been getting acceptances/waitlists/etc from where just so I know what I should be expecting when I check my inbox But it's only February 11!! If you look at the results board from last year (and the years before that), most acceptances hadn't happened yet at this point (I seem to recall lots of acceptances on February 17-18ish...obviously now I'm showing how neurotic I've been about searching through the results)! There's a ton of time for everyone here to get acceptances to great programs. And in the meantime, one of my friends got me two pounds of fudge for my birthday and I've been eating it all day. It solves all problems, I promise. So that's my suggestion

Especially now that we've reached 2600+ replies...

hahahaha mazel tov you guys!!!

this definitely sounds like something i should be doing to keep my mind off things!

It's been a pretty quiet Friday

Does anyone know if Yale stipends come with guaranteed summer funding in addition to whatever the base amount is, or what the deal is?

Also, no Princeton for me either. meh. I'll survive.

Congrats to whoever just posted the Stanford acceptance! Awesome weather...and pretty much everything else

haha yay! it's nice to have company.

Does anyone know when UCLA decisions might come out??

there's another uchicago acceptance (in modern european history) up...

Are you currently at Chicago?

would also like to know...

A fair number of us on this site had interviews, so I'd be surprised if none of us were eventually admitted. Not that I am banking on being accepted, just saying.

I would think it'll be sometime this week, but I don't have any specific information from my POI or anyone else.

yayyyy congrats Safferz!!!

Thanks! That sounds really interesting. I actually got into two programs late last week, which I totally didn't expect to happen, so now I'm trying to bulk up my reading list so I don't sound like a complete fool when I arrive on campus in August. I will put that one on my list

Does anyone have any inside information on Penn? Last year they did the interview weekend in late February but there's been no word of that yet this year.

Congrats!!!! That's so freaking awesome. It's great when everything works out perfectly like that

Thanks! I'm totally overwhelmed at the moment.

I've watched enough police procedurals to know that blood samples can be tampered with. I say retina scanning.

I'm going to second this. Phone call transcripts/screenshots of emails should basically be required at this point.

When I'm a professor someday (hopefully...) I'm only going to accept correspondence from prospective graduate students in haiku form via text or tweet.

Totally understandable. I finished class early and am now sitting on my kitchen floor, updating the results survey in between painting my toenails and watching Crazy Stupid Love. Things have rapidly degenerated around here.
