LOiseauRouge Posted February 2, 2019 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. ^^;
historygeek Posted February 4, 2019 Author 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

Anxiously Hopeful Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 more like freaky February for all the applicants?
historygeek Posted February 6, 2019 Author Posted February 6, 2019 Anyone trying to will acceptances into existence? Just me? yukichi and LizKay 2
vam1390 Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 Just had my interview today... So does that mean March is my new February?

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

historygeek Posted February 7, 2019 Author Posted February 7, 2019 I think that my applications got lost lmao
Ternwild Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 Well, seems like I'm being ghosted still, which means next Friday I'll get a lot of emails telling me about how sorry people are.

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 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
whatstheplan Posted February 11, 2019 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 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?

Yeah, I agree that the silence is WAY worse. Nothingtown 1
CurseTen Posted February 13, 2019 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!”. I got really excited, opened the email, and groaned as I read “Happy Birthday on your special day!” elx and itheproofofstupidity 2
