Whether it's today or Friday, it'll definitely be this week.... I hope, omg. someone mentioned that in the past it’s been calls on friday/saturday/sunday. so if there’s nothing this week, we’ve still got a weekend to spend on edge ?
jr246 Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 im also in the UVA boat of no news…anyone know why??

rr732 Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 Has anyone gotten funding info from temple? I was told end of the month so there’s still time, but just wondering if anyone has heard back already?
WildeingOut Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 Yeah Rutgers traditionally spreads their phone calls anywhere from Thurs-Sun, but they usually call over the weekend. Given the past years' notification schedules, it's likely that there'll be some notifications made this weekend. Fingers crossed...that's my top choice. rr732 1

I'd like to add a note here: There are some schools that have 'invisible waitlists'.

Last year, for what it's worth, I was sent an email informing me I was on UVA's waitlist, and my portal did not update until April with the final rejection.

Ah. Well I can’t say this is particularly encouraging information, but good to have nonetheless. Thanks!
snorkles Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 To add my tidbit, I didn't hear back from Davis until late July or August last year. I'm assuming my application got lost or something of the sort. Hope that makes ya'll feel better! ?
lilkubelkobondy Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) *Finally* heard from Columbia. WEird for a rejection to be SUCH a relief. Edited February 20, 2019 by lilkubelkobondy
millw Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 2 hours ago, jr246 said: im also in the UVA boat of no news…anyone know why?? One theory--in past years a few rejections came on the second day, (and it's possible that those were misreported because they weren't seen on the first day) so it's possible we are just at the end of the alphabet or something. My last name starts with "W" so it's possible. A more favorable theory--last year waitlist notifications went out after rejections. The ones I have read said that they were either waitlisted and invited to visit or "on a long waitlist" but admitted to the MA program (which I don't think is funded).
havemybloodchild Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 Sorry but “Columbia was my safety school” ???? Some people are really out to get that anonymous internet hate today. victoriansimpkins, magnegresswrites, vondafkossum and 3 others 3 3
cfung92 Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) I applied to Rutgers for Fall 2017 and received a phone call from the DGS that I'd been put on a waitlist during the last week of Feb. I'm assuming that's when I'll be hearing back this time round, too Edited February 20, 2019 by cfung92

dangermouse Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 maybe i was being too generous reading it as sarcastic, but my go to response against rejection is always sarcasm so i always assume that is how everyone else copes as well ? illcounsel and Musmatatus 2

You’re probably right, I’ve been working in customer service too long, lol, I often believe the worst. But I mean today someone ordered a chef salad and was mad as hell when it came out that it wasn’t a sandwich soooooooo perhaps my cynicism isn’t entirely unreasonable ? jadeisokay 1
trytostay Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) The Val results comment...lol. I feel that. Columbia, shantay you stay. Edited February 20, 2019 by trytostay mandelbulb 1
ArcaMajora Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 I wake up this morning... to a Columbia rejection lol. I'm now wishing I posted something witty for my results board post. Currently referred to the free-standing MA, so fingers crossed there. More of a relief than anything. This was a strange limbo to be held in, so glad it's finally over. Alright Yale, I'm ready. You've already sent your acceptance notifications out. Come on Yale GSAS, pls. trytostay 1

I will be forever grateful I believe it was @The Wordsworthian who called yesterday and was told they’d sent out all acceptances and waitlists - I think that unfortunately we’re just waiting on very slow rejections it looks like last year rejections were spaced out too.

3131 Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 Obviously futile hope, but are we *sure* that Yale has sent out all its acceptances? Weren’t only two posted on the board? That seems exceptionally low, especially compared to Princeton/Columbia. And they were via phone. (It’s the last big thing I’m waiting on and am impatient...)

I was just about to post about Yale! I think it’s decinitely an IR for me, but that hope just won’t die, no matter how much I tamp down on it. Fingers and toes crossed for us both.
