hello_me Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I did came a long way to where I am now. There were moments which I will cherish. There are other moments which I will definitely detest. Anyhow life does not end here. I have tonnes of stories to tell starting from my 1st grade till my Masters. There were wonderful people I met, there were pure ludicrous idiots whom I also met. At the end of the day, if anybody reads this, just remember do not undermine the value of gut reactions. Also if everything becomes overwhelming, take a break. Good luck.

Eudaimon Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I just noticed that someone posted a McGill rejection. Has anyone else received one? If so, any details (e.g. time, content of email, etc.)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prtrbd Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Just got a kind of non-decision from Virginia. I guess it was a waitlist, although it didn't include any words like "wait" or "list". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think they're an underrated program but I doubt I would pick them over Notre Dame unless my visit there goes poorly or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something along the lines of "we are not able to make a decision on your admission status at this time", which is basically a fancy way of saying you're waitlisted but don't ask us any more questions about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember I finally received the rejection from the YLS waitlist while I was already sitting in a dorm room at HLS. It was September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, as arduous as the PhD application process is, the April 15 deadline is a blessing. And you get to know what your funding will be like before accepting an offer, which is pretty nice too prtrbd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the past is any guide it would likely be today or tomorrow. However, many schools were roughly a week late this year compared to normal, so we may have to wait until next week.

I've been so impatient to hear back from Chapel Hill, they usually release much earlier, but haven't sent out anything yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange how weve only seen 1 acceptance and 1 waitlist. Maybe im grasping at straw tho lol And yes, congrats to everyone! also, as maybe another straw, i emailed lydia goehr months ago about somethin and she replied at 3am, nyc time. Take that for whatever it may be Edited March 1, 2018 by Plslol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
