My sense is that they tend to have very small cohorts. Thank you! I'm not sure, but I definitely plan to ask when I talk to them. Will keep you in the loop. heterotopia 1
why_tho Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 Hello, has anyone heard from Brown English? Saw an acceptance posted on the other thread. Submarina 1
Shake829 Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 I’ve been avoiding logging into my portals for a few days. Logged in today and had a rejection waiting from Chicago that was dated 2/4. Never even received an email notification . . . if you’re like me and trying not to check, it seems that the results are there even though there’s no email. Submarina, why_tho, medievalpeasant and 1 other 4
Shake829 Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 I’ll also never understand why programs with obvious shortlists (i.e., conducting interviews) keep the rest of us in the dark for so long. If you know you’re not going to interview us, why not just put us out of our misery early? Submarina, PlacingJane1994 and Hard times! 3

I'm sorry but I don't know what to say or what might help at this point! I am as miserable... I haven't heard from a single place and would love to stay off these portals since I am having horrid dreams even in my waking hours. But habits die hard! Though i am trying to ease up and come to terms with a very likely shutout... Do you have an acceptance at hand?--that would be of some relief at least. Edited February 9, 2022 by Hard times!
robertsona_grad Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 irvine asked for a reupload of my transcript and whereas that's a big enough part of a grad school app that I can't at all guarantee anything man it feels like it'd be H E L L J A I L not to get accepted thereafter lol. fingers crossed I guess s.renteria, forgottenworks, Submarina and 1 other 4

I submitted an unofficial transcript to a school accidentally and when I asked them about this they were just like "we don't need your official transcript unless we accept you," uh, so..?!
robertsona_grad Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 well what's funny is I applied in 2020 for f21 unsuccessfully and my transcript is the exact same since then and the website was like "yea just keep that one" and put a check next to it but I guess they needed me to upload it separately so tbc it's a little different from asking me for an upgrade to an offish transcript still kinda optimistic though. kinda.

MoonStone Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 Hi guys! Can anyone send me a link to the result board? I'm new here. Can't seem to find it. Thanks!

mostlygoo Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 Kept thinking "I just want to hear from *someone*" and then got my Hopkins rejection today... Be careful what you wish for and all that, but I think I'm happier knowing than not knowing. Maybe? A little bummed because it was probably the best fit, at least in my head. Already recalibrating. Still a chance I get in somewhere, but I want to feel positive about the fall, so I'm thinking about what I can do (and what I'd enjoy doing) that would also make me a stronger candidate next time. Congrats to those with acceptances already! Hard times! and PlacingJane1994 2
Cordelipup Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 I'm still just waiting anxiously to hear back from UCI and anything from anyone about UW. I know they sent a top 15% email last year... s.renteria and Hard times! 2
medievalpeasant Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 Does anyone have idea what's going on with UoOregon? ? It's been quite for a few days, I'm wondering if that's bad news or if they're just moving slowly.

Haven't heard a peep from Oregon either, judging by the results board they're just moving verrrry slowly. 2 hours ago, Cordelipup said: I'm still just waiting anxiously to hear back from UCI and anything from anyone about UW.
