And UChicago-- are we thinking late this week or next? Hang in there everyone ?♀️ I have Stanford down for the first week of February and UCLA for the second week. Fingers crossed we all get some good news very soon! barshmie 1
placeinspace Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 @bardie I'm assuming this week for Chicago - last year they notified on Jan 30!
disidentifications Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) @placeinspace @bardie it'll likely depend on when the interviews take place, no? post-interview turnaround has always been be pretty quick for chicago, so they'll likely begin to notify a day or two after interviews conclude.

effietheant Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Hi all, just wanted to let you know that my friend interviewed with Notre Dame (English) last Friday and they told him that decisions would go out on Feb 8! illcounsel 1
barshmie Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 @placeinspace @flungoutofspace @kendalldinniene Thank you all for your projections. I think Chicago interviews are concluding on Tuesday so that makes me nervous. I bet we will know by Friday. ? This is all happening so quickly (but also not quickly enough)!

Chicago should post decisions early feb -- although it could be this week, depending on how fast people work, it may well be next week.
jusrain Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 During my interview they said they expect decisions to be out before this Friday for Chicago! barshmie 1

The Wordsworthian Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Why is it that today of all days THREE of my friends have called me "just to chat," when this is not a common practice in any of my friendships!? My roommates all chuckled as I hastily turned over my phone and let out a melodramatic sigh of disappointment to find out it was a friend calling each time. It also doesn't help that my e-mail is blowing up with marketing and spam messages, adding to the anxious hellfire. This is going to be a loooong week. Maylee 1

dilby Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Man, I wish that cinema studies departments were as communicative as English folks. I've been forced to sort of just assume that they will operate on a similar-ish timeline. jadeisokay 1

placeinspace Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 I’m glad I planned a last minute vacation this weekend so I can process my Chicago rejection on the beach!

I have so many questions about this given that their big interview day is Feb 8. Are they gonna let us know as soon as we leave? Do they already know who they’re admitting and just inviting us to make sure we’re real people?

Much better than my "work everyday so you can't think about anything else" plan which isn't very effective and definitely not any fun.
stressbot3000 Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 I really might die of anxiety before decisions come out so on the off chance I get in anywhere I’ll be freeing up a place on the waitlist l o l
Bopie5 Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 There are a few fellowships I'm thinking of applying to but rn I am so paralyzed thinking about decisions and the possibility of a shut-out that it's making me stressed to put the cart before the horse. Anyone else in this boat? pdh12 1

People who interviewed last year at Notre Dame said that they received their decisions before boarding on their return flight. I'm guessing that they make notes during the visit and compare them before the 8th.
jadeisokay Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 yep. i never finished flas applications because I'd start working on it at work, actual job duties come up, and i forget then say I'll work on it the next day. oh well. Bopie5 1

I don't have the emotional or mental energy to invest in anything else right now. pdh12 1
