Another thing to add onto the garbage heap is the disgusting situation with UT Austin, “The Eyes of Texas”, and their donors. While some of us don’t know about Michener acceptances yet, if I (a part black person) get rejected from Michener, I’ll be genuinely relieved. Yup. All of the above.

Now that I've been accepted to a program I'm relishing the thought of resigning soon. I hope your acceptance comes thru so you can enjoy the same feeling! susweekly, Graceful Entropy, cecsav and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ydrl Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 There’s a Michener rejection up. I checked my portal, nothing yet. My dead name’s last name begins with an F. Anyone brave enough to check their portal for confirmation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got an email to check the portal at 10:15 last night, where status had been updated to 'denied'. 'Twas a day of rejections from Texas lol. Good luck to the rest of you who are still hanging on.

Oh gosh, sorry to hear that; I'm surprised that rejections aren't all sent out at once. Best of luck with the rest of your programs. orangeslice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although now that I'm looking at it again I'm not sure which program it's from because the email doesn't say.

Downtozero Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I'm at least relieved to hear Michener rejecs (and waitlists?) are on the way. Been on the edge about this one. lunch and nottheamazonalexa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amiwritingyet Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 hey hey! new here, grateful for this forum i just sort of wanted to poll the room because i have no basis for making these decisions -- if you had a choice between UTK and Wyoming, which would you choose and why? both fully-funded with similar stipends. thanks in advance for any insight, i just feel like i have no idea what i'm doing.

I don't have any input on the programs, but congrats on getting two acceptances for fully funded programs, especially this year. That's awesome.
