woolfie Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Some friends on facebook were saying they got waitlisted. I don't think they posted their results here. This with the acceptances on the board is leading me to believe it's not good news for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyonessrampant Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I got my acceptance email Monday. I thought I posted here. Let me know if you have questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyonessrampant Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 yeah I was offered a fellowship for 1 semester and TA for the 2nd. Total funding for 6 years. I'm an early modernist. There wasn't word on summer funding, but I'll ask later. I'm pretty excited about the program and will definitely have questions for you. Thanks!

theboyfriend Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 My girlfriend just got waitlisted at Minny. Much better than the four rejection letters we already have in hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyfriend Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 COngrats to you and your girlfriend! Thanks! We're still waiting on a few more, but she and I would love to be in the Gopher Hole. Luckily, I have a job that gives me the flexibility to move with her wherever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awin Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Well, I went to the website, and the decision link was there - aaaand it's a no. I'm starting to really be worried now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyonessrampant Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Sorry to hear that, Awin. I hope you get good news soon from your outstanding applications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awin Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I'm sorry! are you referring to the applyyourself page? I don't see any link on mine...still says sent to program. This season seems to be rough for everyone! I'm sitting on a few implicits but no official word from anyone. Yeah, it's on the applyyourself page - it JUST popped up within the last, say, hour, and the link is at the bottom. Form letter. Gee whiz, Minnesota! So I'm really hoping that my first choice - Iowa - comes through. Eesh. Congratulations to the folks who got/get in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolfie Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I'm at the point where I am JEALOUS of people who have gotten rejection letters while I haven't heard anything. I've always thought Minnesota was a stretch for me; I'd like to at least know for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crae Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I was surprised to receive an announcement via snail mail today that I'm waitlisted. I thought they were basically done notifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lyonessrampant Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Hey Once and Future Grad, thanks I'm definitely going to be making the visit weekend. Had to check my schedule, but it looks like I can swing it. It will be nice to put faces to avatars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolfie Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Mine says that too. I have a feeling it's ominous though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolfie Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Do other people's statuses say that, on the Apply Yourself page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolfie Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Ugh, I looked at last year's Minnesota thread and they had the same discussion- and graduate School Review turned into a rejection letter for at least one poster. So it could still go either way, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyfriend Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Ugh, I looked at last year's Minnesota thread and they had the same discussion- and graduate School Review turned into a rejection letter for at least one poster. So it could still go either way, I think. My girlfriend is on the waitlist, and her's doesn't say that. It stills says the same application complete message as before. I would assume that if you are on final review, you are probably getting cut. Best of luck to everyone who is still up in the air like we are.

bigdgp Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Also waitlisted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuentinComp Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I have not heard anything from UMN yet and my status has not changed on apply yourself. I'm assuming rejection at this point. Think there is any hope? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolfie Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 i guess that's what is confusing. why not just change us to rejected status along with the others who heard the other week? none of them had reported seeing this status before it changed over to rejection (this year anyway, last year's thread was already mentioned). Yeah, I think that it just means that someone in Minnesota is doing some data entry. From working in admissions and registrar's offices for the past tne years, I know that there are a lot of pointless steps to these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolfie Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 yeah, I'm starting to wonder if it doesn't just mean rejection. I get why the waitlisted peoples status wouldn't change as waitlisted is not an actual decision, but I feel like the dept would've contacted us if theyve already sent the decision to the grad school and the decision was acceptance. Jesus this process makes the imagination go wild. i will be glad to hear a firm answer soon! Yeah, it's making me crazy. There was a solid, delusional 20 minutes yesterday when i saw that status change that I had rationalized it meant I had been accepeted. The fact that it seems like Minnesota has only made their fellowship offers so far has influenced that hope. But I calmed down and got reasonable about it. I need to just stop thinking about it- I'll find out sooner or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
