From past years it seems like acceptances should be coming in any second... Someone I know called and they said that it looked like decisions wouldn't be back until early March. I'm wondering if they're just behind this year or they mean all decisions acceptances, rejections, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured nothing had happened yet since there are acceptances on the board every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a sucker for a glimmer of hope. Things are actually happening really quickly this cycle. Ten years ago, the idea was if you haven't heard anything by the middle of March, then you're in trouble. Then I’ll subscribe to your hopefulness. I haven’t heard a peep from any program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just now, Rootbound said: Shaggy is still here! I am early modern, and also listed Clare Kinney..... Oh, hey Shaggy! 3 of us is nice - the more the merrier. The Clare Kinney overlap is curious. SHE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN AWAY WITH IT IF IT WEREN'T FOR US PESKY KIDS. To me suggests either that the MEM rejections are rolling out later, or that they don't have offer acceptances from all their primary MEM offers yet and therefore that unofficial waitlist is still hanging around waiting. Hmmmm. I guess we wait together (im)patiently and see. Fingers still crossed for y'all! Rootbound 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like they send out ten emails and then the computer crashes for a week. that last line is 100% my actual theory for this, ha. it makes no sense! it’s like they send off two rejections, get sick of it, and punt the rest of us to the next day. I feel like we’re all on the brink of devolving further into detailed conspiracy theories with every passing day, too. today we’re comparing POIs, tomorrow we’ll be analyzing how many times we used the letter E in our personal statements, wednesday we’ll be filming “please notify me of my status” interpretive dance videos...

Man, I'm fed up with this. (I mean, my partner and family are fed up with this just from me saying how much I'm fed up with this lol.) I just want my rejections all done and tidy and everything sorted and apparently I'm going to whine incessantly til then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
