barilicious Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) I can't believe I heard so early from these schools. Soooooo not expected. I got an e-mail from FSU this morning which asked me to fill out more forms and write an essay because the chair wants to forward my application to the university for a graduate fellowship. It didn't formally say I was accepted, but I assumed I may be (but still remain a little skeptical). However, UT-Austin e-mailed me about an hour ago offering me my acceptance!!!!!!!!!!! It says I get 5 years of funding and such but will get more info later!! Too excited to type it all!!!! AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH I wasn't expecting to hear anything for at least another 2 weeks so I'm in total shock and disbelief!!!!!! UT-Austin is one of my top choices, so I'm flipping!!!!! Hope everyone else starts hearing GREAT news soon!!!!!! EDIT: THANKS!!!!!! Edited January 15, 2011 by barilcious
Paul Allen Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Congrats, that's great news. Hope the acceptances keep rolling in.
Bukharan Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Fantastic! Congratulations! Hopefully, it is a beautiful beginning for us all here!
Happy to be here Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Boo-yah! Way to go barilcious! I knew that UT-Austin did their offers a little earlier than others, but I had no idea it was THIS early. That's awesome! So glad that a "familiar" name on here got into somewhere nice. I think this will make the rest of the process go much smoother for you. If the worst happens and there's no other admissions (which I would doubt for you) then you can rest easy knowing you've got at least one (and it sounds like two!) in hand. Awesome news--it gets me excited, and helps me remember why I'm going through this crazy process too!
barilicious Posted January 16, 2011 Author Posted January 16, 2011 Thanks everyone! It's been a pleasure going through this experience with all of you. Best of luck, and I know you all will get in to your top choices as well!! EEPP!!
ydg23 Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Oh congratulations. I used to live in Austin, and it is a WONDERFUL city. Best of luck.
Roll Right Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Congrats my friend, glad to hear of your early acceptance!
MoJingly Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Isn't it a great and validating feeling when hard work pays off?? Congrats!
zsoc Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Great news, great news!! I hope everyone else will be posting equally jubilant posts in the coming weeks, myself included! Anyone else have any early acceptances??
Roll Right Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Great news, great news!! I hope everyone else will be posting equally jubilant posts in the coming weeks, myself included! Anyone else have any early acceptances?? Results show an acceptance at Purdue with full funding and insurance - who was this? ZoeWeber?
ZoeWeber Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Results show an acceptance at Purdue with full funding and insurance - who was this? ZoeWeber? Nop Roll Right, unfortunately it wasn't me. I actually started crying (literally... so embarrassing, I know) when I saw that Purdue' acceptance because I really really really want (wanted?) to go there.., ... does that mean that I should probably just wait for my rejection letter? Or do they send acceptances on different dates? Please be honest!! Congrats to Barilcious!!!!! Sorry I didn't post before. I'm trilled about hearing acceptances from people who usually post here; it give us all here - still waiting!!! - hope

I wouldn't give up any hope though until its official. If Purdue did already sent out a 1st round of acceptances, there may still be more to come. It is still WAY early, so I'd say you are still fine at this point. Keep clinging to that hope! I'm hoping everyone here gets in somewhere - and hopefully - somewhere that is a top choices of theirs.
Happy to be here Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 I agree with barilcious on that last post. Hang in there! It's still so early, I think that universities are only going through the very beginning of their admits. Welcome to the waiting game, it's beginning to get serious.

Yeah, don't start worrying about rejections. There is no reason to be alarmed yet. Its only January. If you don't hear something by April then things may be bad.
Roll Right Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Well, I haven't heard from any schools yet, but the college of arts and sciences at my institution wants to interview me about my research for their annual publication. I didn't think anyone cared!

I'm just going to wait and not think about anything until I recieve something official - either be an acceptance or a rejection. It's only January. To have to wait three months or more for an answer is torture!
barilicious Posted January 28, 2011 Author Posted January 28, 2011 UT-Austin seemed to finally update my online status check today to me being accepted, so those still posting on the results page about them may want to log in and check their status...
