Another NYU acceptance on the results board. Is it time to write them off as an implied rejection? ?

The fact that this was supposedly by email does not bode well for us.

Also, could everyone please be careful with posting questions in the results? If you have questions use the forum. I nearly had a heart attack when I saw Brown on the board but it was just someone waiting for a response.

Although it does say that the actual email came on the 11th, so it could still have been a rogue POI rather than the admissions committee. Am I delusional?

Welp, the fact that Michigan and UCSB are having movement today is a vomit inducing bit of news to wake up to! Kind of my last shots. Fingers crossed but steeling for the worst.

Anxious as hell about Michigan too!  High hopes for good news for the both of us :)

Same, just received my rejection e-mail.  Sad but feel relieved that they don't drag things along like a lot of the other programs I applied to.  This was the first notification I've heard from any of my schools and I appreciate Michigan's timeliness even though I'm disappointed to be rejected.

Thinking of all the Michigan people today. 

Though, on a deeper level, I really have to respect a school who sends out all acceptances, rejections, and waitlists on the same day. 

I have more respect for Michigan because of this than all the other schools I applied to. Active communication is a sign they respect all their students, imo, which is to the credit of the program.

nothing from michigan english/women's studies - expected it to be separate, of course, but firmly glued to the edge of my seat now anyway... here's to hoping they're as kind with the simultaneous acceptances and rejections as the english department.

Got my rejection too. I appreciate it as well. Though I think Michigan is also the school that fucked up last year and sent retractions of acceptances. So if that's right then I still applaud them for the job this year, while not last year.

It’s my birthday today. I was supposed to go to SF with my bestie but she bailed last minute so I’m going to just stay in bed refreshing this page and my portals, the way birthdays were meant to be spent. 

 

Awww this hit me. My birthday is beginning of March and I literally feared this might happen. I feel for you!

Oh my god happy birthday! But seriously get out of bed and go celebrate. It is 60 degrees where you are, and where I am it is 10 degrees. Go for a hike, or drive to a good beach for walking. You must have another friend you can hit up for dinner and drinks! Get out, you will thank yourself for it. 

I'm sure you have a lot to celebrate other than anticipated news. Go celebrate having taken the chance on yourself to work towards a PhD. We should all remember how much courage that takes. 

Happy Birthday! ??

(I hope this didn't sound preachy, I just feel emotionally invested in y'all now ❤️)

Nope, Michigan didn't do that last year...
