FreakyFoucault Posted February 2, 2018 Author Posted February 2, 2018 @JustPoesieAlong, I wish I could program my phone to light up and play the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire dramatic hot-seat sound when I get an e-mail from a school I applied to... Wabbajack 1

Even better if you could program your phone to light up and play Slumdog Millionaire. Then you can get up and do the Bollywood mojo. Hehe.
mads47 Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 (edited) So my dad just texted me that an important-looking envelope came for me. It turned out to be from the bank but there was enough time between texts that I got really excited XP Edited February 3, 2018 by mads47

Yanaka Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 Shellalegaled by a call from NJ that didn’t look like spam. I called back, and it said something about a no-call list. Googled the number alone and the number with Rutgers, and nothing came up. Boo!
ashley623 Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 Got a call this morning that I thought might be a school, and it turned out I have moved forward in the application process with a job I applied for and have a panel interview Wednesday. Positive shellacked? sarahchristine and Yanaka 2

la_mod Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 Semi-shellacked: email from Stanford at 4pm, subject line “Application Decision.” My stomach drops and I open it, only to be informed that decisions have been made but won’t be posted until tonight at 5:30. Oy. Wish they would have posted it and then emailed.

The fit was a stretch and I'm not totally sure why I applied, tbh. I'm mostly angry it was such an expensive app! Partial refund for rejectees???
unicornsarereal Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 To be clear, I am still going forth with much ice cream eating because Monday.

I'm mostly angry it was such an expensive app! Partial refund for rejectees??? I feel similarly! When I was applying I was like “hmm, should I actually submit this?” but my recommenders has sent in letters already and I bit the bullet. I’m more frustrated that I just don’t know about the other schools yet.

A person who shall not be named (from a university that will also not be identified) sent me a passive aggressive email right after I submitted my app. Vague short version of the story: Person forgot to email me and then was upset when I submitted my app without his input. Immediate buyers remorse.
