Tufnel Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) No one claimed the Harvard contact, right? I'd love to know if electronic notification will indeed come this week. It's necessary to determine how much I should freak out. Hey Tufnel, you've probably seen this, but: http://xkcd.com/670/ Haha, that's hilarious. I hadn't seen it. Good times.

CreanhouseEffect Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Maybe I'm just cynical, but the more OMG's and exclamation points a results post on the main page has, the less inclined I am to believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purled Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Yeah, but, maybe the name-dropping balances out the !!!. I'm inclined to believe it - UVA should be notifying this week or next week.

CreanhouseEffect Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 It will be interesting to see if any programs are cold hearted enough to send out rejections on Valentine's Day. They should at least come with assorted chocolates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mormegil Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Yeah, but, maybe the name-dropping balances out the !!!. I'm inclined to believe it - UVA should be notifying this week or next week. UVA is supposed to give out their 1st round of acceptances this week. The poster mentioned it was an 'informal' notification, probably to an impatient email from the poster. It might was well be fake but i'm inclined to believe it. By the way, does anyone have any idea about Penn State? There were a few acceptances in the 1st week of this month. Then zilch.

Purled Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Northwestern appears to have gone silent for the day. Someone on the results board claimed to have called the department directly on Friday, and was told that remaining decisions would go out "next week, probably Monday or Tuesday." So, not today, I guess. I've been braced for the rejection, but not for the wait. Still in limbo as well. Nothing on ApplyYourself or the grad status thing.

Count de Monet Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I received a "it's not you, it's me" from Wisconsin on Sat. Close enough, I guess. Both Notre Dame and Wisconsin had basically the same rejection...I wonder if there's a company out there that generates generic rejection letters... ...hmmm...I smell a potential billion dollar business idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polly_Sigh Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 To the best of my knowledge, none of the ones you listed conduct interviews. thanks that's what i thought. i was doing completely fine with the whole waiting process up until this weekend. all of a sudden it's all i can think about! from looking at last year's results, it seems as though most of those schools don't send out acceptances until very late Feb at the earliest anyway. Penn looks like the only exception, if this year looks like last year, the first round of acceptances should be released in the next day or two...
