Upstate-ish. I see some other folklore acceptances on the results page. Come talk to me, soon-to-be-classmates! Let's discuss our weird focuses! I don't want to wait until September to know who I am going to be hanging out with for a couple years!

Hello! I was accepted into Folklore for the fall. I will be doing the big move across the country closer to the starting date. So scared of how far away it is but exciting too.

Rejected from UO's art program. Plan to amaze them in the fall with my plans for my folklore program. Keep a watchful eye for Sasquatch sightings on the Eugene campus in a few months.

Thanks. I was processing some awful personal stuff last week when I posted that. I have hope for the future now instead of just bleak despair. <3

Accepted to UO's Folklore program. No messages back from UO's art program

Someone on the results page listed they were emailed on the 4th, the day reviews were. Judging from the lack of email responses, I am assuming I was rejected at this point.

Often its hundreds of applications for 10 or so spots. Just in a numbers game, rejection is the most likely outcome. You're in good company

Dreamed I was accepted to everything I applied to and that it was spring last night. It's 4 degrees today and still waiting on answers.

Got back from my trip to Oregon, remember my message earlier that was about my status not being part of the going to be considered for admission thing? It gets a lot worse than just disappointing news. I have no idea if I am going to be considered for admission during tomorrow's applicant reviews from the admission committee. Somehow my phone interview was never noticed and while I was told all the information about the in person activities from last week during my interview, I was not actually invited to it. I should have been invited, by virtue of having a phone interview and being told about the event but somehow that was never done and my interview went is unverifiable. So if the prof that interviewed me says she spoke with me last month at 12:30 on the 17th, then I may actually get reviewed tomorrow. This experience was quite literally a nightmare scenario for any admissions process.

I had sent a follow up message since I'm going to be in state for a week. Im not in the pile of people to be offered acceptances but not sure if rejected or waitlisted. Most likely bad news though. Still no word yet from the other department I applied to so, there is hope but its a pretty weak hope for me this year. So putting all eggs in one basket plan is super bad. Lesson learned.

Not on the list for top candidates. Great to know just before spending a lot of money to travel and miss work.

I only applied to UO so it's good I haven't secretly been rejected yet then. Constant fear of that. I haven't heard from the other department I applied to but it seems no one else on here has either. So tempted to call but...pretty scared to hear bad news.

It cannot be next Monday fast enough. Is there anyone from here going to the UO grad review day thing next week? If anyone else is, there is also a folklore lecture the day before on the Malawi people. Come see neat lecture! I took the entire week off from work to spend time out west. I hear there are areas of the world that aren't covered in snow. I don't believe that can be true. Next Sunday's forecast is another 12 inches for my area of NY, day before my flight out. New England doesn't want me to escape.

Going to be visiting the campus during my other department's decisions are sent out, at least according to the search results from prior years. Maybe they will take pity on me traveling so far and not reject me while I am out there. Needless anxieties, I am just going to go back to refreshing my email every 10 minutes.

Hipmunk and tripadvisor are where I've been looking for flights. Its best to go to Portland and take the bus down for cost now/cost on the trip budgeting. Bus down there is 26ish dollars. From Newark to Portland it's 260 round trip leaving on a Monday returning Saturday. The biggest concern is the hostel is usually booked solid in Eugene :|
