elx Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 I don't understand how I can simultaneously have accepted that I'm not getting in this cycle and I'm looking forward to a MA in the UK, but still keep checking this website all the time and being so damn hopeful. Also, Duke rejections didn't come out yesterday like in previous years. I just want them to make it official--aaahhh! Happy late bday @historygeek!

I feel the same way about Penn and Brown, I know I'll be rejected from both and I'd really like them to actually tell me haha. Keeping my fingers crossed that you hear good news from a PhD program (I know Cornell hasn't released decisions yet, and the situation with NYU has just been... confusing, so who knows), but otherwise an MA in the UK sounds like a great alternative!

I'm an EU citizen, so it's actually really affordable -- I'd get a loan that covers all of tuition and a bit of the living costs too 1 hour ago, Karou said: I feel the same way about Penn and Brown, I know I'll be rejected from both and I'd really like them to actually tell me haha.

Thank you! ❤️ I'm so confused about NYU, I keep checking their portal hoping to hear anything, but I also know they sometimes keep people waiting til April. Hope you hear from Brown and Penn soon!

Hope you hear from Brown and Penn soon! Thank you, I know I'm a good position right now so I'm not complaining, I just really want this whole thing to be over with. Gods, I hope NYU lets you know what's up before April! But you'll likely have heard from MA programs by then. When I was applying in the UK, York notified me within 10 days, which has effectively spoiled me for life in terms of having patience about these things. Oxford was very slow though (I heard late March I think), but each of their programs work very independently from one another, so you may hear sooner than that. Sorry I'm not really helping haha. Stay strong throughout the waiting process! ❤️

I'm pretty sure that even if I got accepted to everywhere I haven't heard back from so far, and Yale rescinded their rejection and begged me to go, this would still count as a bad time I'm never getting back the endless hours I spent on this website in January and refreshing the application portals -- the first time I heard anything was over a week into Feb. Ah well, lessons learned for the next app cycle!

Ah well, lessons learned for the next app cycle! Look at my signature. You never learn. xD I spend all my time here. But, compared to my first couple times, I just don't bother with refreshing application pages, anymore. I already know that there is really nothing more that I can do.

I really, really hope this is your year -- you've obviously been very resilient in applying! I've seen a couple (out of hundreds...) people say they got their result by checking the portal and that fact is haunting me Edited February 16, 2019 by elx

I only check pages once a weekend. I mean, getting accepted doesn't mean I have 24 hours to accept. xD Best thing you gotta due is just take your hands off the wheel and let fate/pure unadulterated luck do the rest. xD

revalith Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 Longest February ever, and this is still all I see: I've heard from others last year not to expect anything until early March, and that has me all kinds of frustrated. My birthday is in 4 days and yet I JUST WANT THIS MONTH TO BE OVER.
