Kakirsten Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 And Kakirsten, was that you who got into BC? Nope, that wasn't me. But thanks for asking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louiselab Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 BU told me that my application was in the batch that's being considered now, but they haven't made a decision since the 10th it seem. (They post a complete list of applications without names on their site, it's kind of interesting to look at. Not the best for privacy though, since reccomenders names and school names are listed.) Where is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

synthla Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 It was--thanks! Although after Harvard, everything seems kind of anticlimactic... I think Princeton will notify admits this week and rejects the next, based on last year's results. That should be interesting. Great job slawkenbergius; you are fairly much rolling through admissions so far. I'm glad I'm not directly competing with you in more schools. Although honestly, I wish I'd applied to more east coast schools now... I had no idea how badly the economic situation was going to impact the UCs. One would think that California would be reluctant to let the UC system follow so many other formerly great aspects of California down the tubes, but no such wisdom prevails here.

synthla Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I just looked it up out of curiosity. This seems like a terrible idea, even if it doesn't give any substantial information. Is it that hard to have your application status password protected like everywhere else? Interesting reading. Saw an applicant from my small undergrad school, so it was intriguing to see who was writing for the nameless applicant. But yes, I think I'd be unhappy if my information, anonymous or not, was on a public webpage. Other than this one of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limeinthecoconut Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 ugh, so now that's three of mine (Harvard, Ohio State, Chicago) that have started notifying, but that I haven't heard from....at what point am I allowed to cry? I already started my moping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazelmoor Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Saw an applicant from my small undergrad school, so it was intriguing to see who was writing for the nameless applicant. But yes, I think I'd be unhappy if my information, anonymous or not, was on a public webpage. Other than this one of course. I also saw an applicant from my very small undergrad school on there. I could probably figure who it was out if I tried hard enough. That table seems like a very handy, simple INTERNAL way to know at a glance everyone's statuses (although if it was internal they could also have applicants' names on there). But I really don't think it's such a good idea to have it out there on the public Internets... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slawkenbergius Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Great job slawkenbergius; you are fairly much rolling through admissions so far. I'm glad I'm not directly competing with you in more schools. Although honestly, I wish I'd applied to more east coast schools now... I had no idea how badly the economic situation was going to impact the UCs. One would think that California would be reluctant to let the UC system follow so many other formerly great aspects of California down the tubes, but no such wisdom prevails here. All I can say is, it helps to have academic parents willing to hold your hand through the whole process... But yeah, the Republicans in your state senate are kamikaze, it's scary. Still, there are hardly any schools which haven't been hit--my undergrad lost 30% of its endowment or something. Definitely enough woe to go around.

psychomachia Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Argh, STILL waiting, and fighting the urge to call or email. It's frustrating, knowing that someone heard from Northwestern last week, but I still haven't heard anything from them myself, nor have I seen anything else up on the results board Anyone else having trouble getting their work done this week? I'm so distracted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's frustrating, knowing that someone heard from Northwestern last week, but I still haven't heard anything from them myself, nor have I seen anything else up on the results board Anyone else having trouble getting their work done this week? I'm so distracted! Yeah. Pretty much nothing is getting done. Northwestern seems to be holding their cards particularly close. Kieckhefer and Elliott have been very friendly in e-mails (Elliott went so far as to say that she "enjoyed" reading my file - God only knows what that means), but not very forthcoming about the process. That said, I've been abiding by the unspoken rule that I shouldn't ask direct questions about my application status. At first I thought this rolling admissions concept was great, but now I wish we just had a firm date on which results would be released. Good luck with the waiting!

Thanks! I know I'll hear eventually either way, but hoo boy, the wait is killing me! I guess there's no reason to keep compulsively checking this week. Better get back to work on the thesis!

kahlan_amnell Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Has anyone heard anything from Michigan?? Nope, I haven't. And the website for checking application status is odd.

humblemumblings Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Princeton wants to interview today - so they must be getting close to decision-phase... I wish Michigan would make some sort of sign too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortiesgirl Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Congrats on the acceptance to Princeton! I'm waiting to hear back as well, but I won't be too surprised if they don't take me. slawkenbergius--have you received a definate yes/no from JHU yet? I was just curious because you have it listed on your rejected/probably rejected column. I know they notified some candidates a few weeks ago. I haven't heard anything, either good news or bad. Does that mean it's probably a rejection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
