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.
cassidyaxx Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 Has anyone been in contact with Boston college? Hardly anything on the board and only one acceptance so far...

Perhaps BC is rolling admissions out slowly?

I figured nothing had happened yet since there are acceptances on the board every year.

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.
rr732 Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 Has anyone gotten word on funding from temple? I’m hoping to hear this week but am feeling paranoid that funding offers have gone out already...

You're early modern, right? And I'm medieval? I listed Clare Kinney, Bruce Holsinger, Alison Booth, and Brad Pasanek - would I be right in guessing we have overlap on that possibly? That's the only thing that I can guess is maybe they're processing us slower, or... *BIG SHRUG*

I mean, mostly frustrating... but interesting! the handful of rejections a day thing is just. argh. why?? all my other rejections have been so timely and this one is killing me!

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

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!

tcatherine Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 Has anyone else applied/heard anything from UDEL? I know there was one post on the board back on the 18th but I didn't see any others and nothing has changed in my portal.
theinforat Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 Well, gang, I was one of the UVA rejects issued yesterday. Hopefully the rest of you will hear something soon!
