tortola23 Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 I can speak for how responsive Kathy Williams is; she has responded to all of my questions very quickly, and had also CCed everything to Phillip Wegner. I emailed last week asking about my application status since according to the online checklist I was still missing some materials. She emailed me back to say that my file is actually complete and that decisions would be out in three weeks, by mail. Of course, we all know that admits seem to get phone calls, not letters Still waiting . . .
unearthedlurker Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 My friend has been getting Google'd all over the place, and he only applied at UF; if you don't have an account somewhere that lets you know when your name has been searched, you should get one! Being Googled is either a great sign or an ominous one. I just made an account at Ziggs for that reason.

Being Googled is either a great sign or an ominous one. I just made an account at Ziggs for that reason. I just created a Ziggs account and it isn't telling me anything; on the other hand, I have a very common name, so it might not be of much use anyway.

Does Ziggs only show you data from the time you make your profile, or does it show you anything from beforehand? Now seems too late to make an account, since all the Googlng will already have been done.
tortola23 Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 I don't really get Ziggs now that I've signed up! I'm probably not going to use my account. I just want to hear some good news. That is ALL that I want.

That is ALL that I want. I'm not sure what information they send. I just got one myself and really don't get Ziggs either, but I suppose it's there in the future for all our "when am I being Googled?" needs. I hope you hear soon! Shoot, I hope *I* hear soon.
tortola23 Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Thanks! This is definitely one of my two top choices out of the eleven schools I've applied to. I hope they get all of the notifications out close together.
bottles Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Thanks! This is definitely one of my two top choices out of the eleven schools I've applied to. I hope they get all of the notifications out close together. Second that. Nothing's worse than "why does everyone know but me?"
unearthedlurker Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Second that. Nothing's worse than "why does everyone know but me?" So true. This is my top choice program. I've told my students that I'm waiting for an extremely important call, so I'm leaving my phone on vibrate during class just to see when/if they leave a VM! I know it seems highly unprofessional, but they're all rooting for me From the looks of it, we'll be hearing soon via phone if we're accepted. *crosses fingers for all of us*
parapraxis Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 yes!!! yes!! schizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz And, of course, good luck to everyone!
unearthedlurker Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 I'm beginning to freak out, folks. After looking at the results page several times over, I do believe UF will begin calling tomorrow. Please let all your closest anonymous GradCafe friends know your status immediately after notifying your family.

Please let all your closest anonymous GradCafe friends know your status immediately after notifying your family. Then it is settled. We should all leave our phones on at work tomorrow because we will be getting a very important phone call. Sorry employer, my future is calling
tortola23 Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 I have Fridays off, so I'll be here watching the phone as it sits on my desk like it might explode.

ssundva Posted February 25, 2011 Author Posted February 25, 2011 Someone posted an acceptance; it says that they were contacted via phone on the 24th. Anyone want to claim this? Any information to share? And most importantly, congratulations!
tortola23 Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Looks like it was an acceptance to the PhD program. I'd assume they do the MA admits after the PhD admits. I think most of us on this thread are MA applicants, yes? Congrats to whoever it was!

unearthedlurker Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 I'm PhD---keeping my phone on in class JUST IN CASE. To be honest, I'll probably assign small group discussion, duck out, and accept whatever calls come my way today. I know, horrible, but it's for mental health purposes. Promise, I'm a good professor otherwise! Congratulations to the admit!
unearthedlurker Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 BTW, if the admit wants to come forward... at what time did you receive the phone call? What was the conversation like? I've been fantasizing about this conversation for years now, and I'm still not sure what the DGS, POI, or admin assistant says.
bottles Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 I've been sacrificing animals to the UF Ad-Comm for weeks now...
ssundva Posted February 25, 2011 Author Posted February 25, 2011 Is anybody in here an internal applicant? I have the impression that UF rolls many of the MA students into the Phd program. Is this true?
Tybalt Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Looks like someone else got a phone acceptance a moment ago. The comics and visual rhetoric track. I wonder if all the calls will go out today, or if they will keep calling over the weekend. Does anyone know what size cohort UF usually takes?

It looks like in the past they made phone calls over the span of several days. Edited February 25, 2011 by ssundva

I think it depends on the year.
