Medieval Maid Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 13 hours ago, Jericho said: In the past three days, I've gotten FOUR emails that my gmail account marked as "important" from schools with very vague subject lines. They have all been ads from schools inviting me to apply in PROGRAMS I DON'T EVEN STUDY. Getting the email and thinking I'll hear from a school for a flash and then seeing what it really is can be agonizing! But we made it to February, y'all. SAME. They need to chill.

LOiseauRouge Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I'm thinking there probably won't be any updates over the weekend. Yet I still feel the inclination to check. ^^; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historygeek Posted February 4, 2019 Author Share Posted February 4, 2019 Tomorrow is the judgement day, tomorrow we'll discover what our God in heaven has in store... Decisions will likely start coming out tomorrow. Good luck everyone! LOiseauRouge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each email I get, I think it’s from a school and then I have to take another look and be disappointed that it’s just coupons for Food Lion. At least I now know that I can get two bags of Goldfish for $4 this week. LOiseauRouge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think their decisions go out until later, but I could be wrong. I got one official rejection from Columbia, but with the fact that Michigan and Harvard sent out offers already (with radio silence to me), I'm just going to assume it's a no.

aggiezone Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 (edited) My interviewer (grad student in the group I'm applying to) told me that since I'd already had two interviews, this would probably be the last one. Cue an additional four interview requests from other grad students in the same group. I have two today and two tomorrow. I'm excited they want to talk to me but also, six interviews!!!!!!!!!! It's my absolute first choice so I'm giving it 110% in every one! Edited February 11, 2019 by aggiezone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatstheplan Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I've heard nothing save for one rejection (from a school that was essentially at the bottom of my list, so a bit dispiriting). The upside is, the results page has looked pretty inactive for essentially all of my programs thus far. Cause for concern or am I reaching?

lovekilledinos Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Radio silence on my end, too. NYU (MCC) should be sending invites this week or next, but after going through their faculty list again I don't think I fit very well. Expecting not to get an invite. I'm so anxious.

I'm assuming all rejections, really. Looks like UK sent out several acceptances already and we have 1 person reporting an acceptance from SLU's Philosophy PhD, and since I haven't heard anything, I'm starting to treat the silence as a presumed rejection. Who knew one of the hardest parts of this, emotionally, would be the silence rather than outright rejection letters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I agree that the silence is WAY worse. Nothingtown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurseTen Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 On my birthday recently, one of the schools I applied to sent me an email with the subject “Today’s the Day!”.
