crazedandinfused Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 I don't know if I can deal with another week of anticlimactic boredom. CPetersen 1
emerald54 Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) Oh my, I just saw the post on the results page that said that official acceptances to UNC would be sent out later today. Officially freaking out. Edited February 13, 2012 by emerald54

dukelover50 Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Anyonw wish to claim the Emory acceptance and elaborate how you found out, etc.
pugsley87 Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Not sure if I can deal with that right now... Eek re UNC. I was so hoping for a nice, calm Monday. Also, it really looks like Yale will send rejections on Valentine's Day. Again. Seriously--does the graduate secretary or graduate school NOT look at calendars? I thought last year was a fluke, but now it's just kinda funny if it happens again.
TMP Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Yale's wealthy enough that it should send all rejectees a box of Swiss chocolates!
bachr1989 Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 What a boring day... I have no idea when I should be hearing from the masters programs I've applied to and it's driving me CRAZY.
pugsley87 Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Yale's wealthy enough that it should send all rejectees a box of Swiss chocolates! Agreed!! Esp if the rejections come on Valentine's Day!!! Mmm chocolate. Damn it, now I want some. Bad.
Kelkel Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 What a boring day... I have no idea when I should be hearing from the masters programs I've applied to and it's driving me CRAZY. Which ones did you apply to? I believe most will notify after they notify about the PhD applicants first (Indiana rejected people and then accepted masters people. I think we're unclear how when they accepted PhD applicants). I'm waiting on Binghamton and the results survey clearly indicates an early March decision for both PhD and masters applicants.

I'm waiting on Binghamton and the results survey clearly indicates an early March decision for both PhD and masters applicants. I applied to Kansas State and LSU. Neither have very much info on the results surveys for MAs which is the most frustrating part. I called KSU last week and she did say they are under review, however the deadline is March 1st for those who didn't want to be considered for a TAship or department funding... Does that mean even though I applied by December 1st, I won't hear until after March 1st? So lame if true.

LSU has already started notifying their PhD applicants, so hopefully it won't be much longer before you hear about the MA
bachr1989 Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 LSU has already started notifying their PhD applicants, so hopefully it won't be much longer before you hear about the MA Yeah, I noticed that. Last year, an MA was accepted on February 8th or 9th, so last week I was going nuts. haha trying to reel in my insanity for a couple weeks.
Kelkel Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) I think I was that LSU MA. I was accepted either very early February or the dead end of January. It was shortly after I had submitted by application though. I know another girl was also accepted for the MA, but I don't remember when she received her acceptance. But we did begin communicating about it around this time last year. Edited February 13, 2012 by Kelkel
Kelkel Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 In other news, there's a WashUÂ acceptance posted! Looks like the boring Monday is officially quashed.
TMP Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 About time Cambridge climbs out of the foxhole.
sandyvanb Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 I can't decide if I would rather have deafening silence like last week, or to hear the executioner's axe...
crazedandinfused Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 For me, the deafening silence is torturous!!!!
cooperstreet Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Yeah I think we are going to hear a lot this week. There's now a U Chicago acceptance up. And someone last week said that this would we would hear from Rutgers (they called them). I suspect Monday's are typically slow in general.
WendyDarling Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 I can't decide if I would rather have deafening silence like last week, or to hear the executioner's axe... Don't forget option C! A torrent of fabulous acceptances! AND A NEW CAR. (I'm a little punchy. That "notifications will come from UNC later today...." message is totally messing with me.) I'm off to make cookies to distract myself from staring nail-bitingly at screens. It's not helping me write my thesis. If anyone wants a cookie, please come over. emerald54 1
sandyvanb Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 I would love option C and the deafening silence is tortuous... I just want to wake up when it is March 15...

It's not helping me write my thesis. If anyone wants a cookie, please come over. I'm down for cookies. And coffee. And that new car. I'll take option CCC. jrah822 1
goldielocks Posted February 13, 2012 Author Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) Hey guys! I've been sort of absent lately while dealing with some health stuff... But I got great news from my doctor today! That whole thing really put the application process in perspective for me though. Big time. How's everyone doing? Nervous and neurotic still? This thread is so huge now! Happy Monday! Edited February 13, 2012 by goldielocks
easybreesy9 Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 harvard acceptee, who are you?? make your presence known!
easybreesy9 Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 also, which is worse? getting emails from people who are not universities, or getting general v-day emails from random clothing stores/hair salons/gyms that i don't actually belong to because i am lazy? jrah822 1

Worst is the emails that I occasionally get from a University that will not be named inviting me to take a survey about my application process. Before they have sent out any results. I've gotten at least three emails from official looking accounts with subject lines that say "University of BlahBlah". Every time I have a brief heart attack before I click on the email and see it's just another friendly survey invitation. Seriously. It's like a very sick form of torture. Okay. Now with the cookies for real. Ahem.
