Kelkel Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Today shall go down in history as Columbia's Slaughter of the Humanities. Sorry guys
uhohlemonster Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Such a slaughter. Major. Tel Aviv is starting to look pretty good, says the girl who got rejected from THREE phd programs in one day... Crazed, UMASS is a great place! Congrats. I hope you feel a little relieved...
CageFree Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Guys, I just declined my offer at Pittsburgh. I HATED having to write that email but I was happy to free up a spot. I hope someone here benefits from this.
oseirus Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Man oh how many people got rejected by Columbia today?
crazedandinfused Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 (edited) Thanks Monster and I'm sorry about everything that happened today - that's truly terrible. Thank god this rotten #€&@ing month will soon be behind us. I can't take this ambiguity anymore!!!!! Edited February 28, 2012 by crazedandinfused

Nordicllama Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Guys, I just declined my offer at Pittsburgh. I HATED having to write that email but I was happy to free up a spot. I hope someone here benefits from this. Would you mind just transferring that acceptance over my way?
Nordicllama Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Oh, and does anyone want to claim the Boston University acceptance?
Flux Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Thanks, it came right after the rejection from Columbia.. so there definitely is hope!
oseirus Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Would you mind just transferring that acceptance over my way? You can have my hogwarts slot ...wasn't a good fit for me ... POIs weren't really that strong in my area
Nordicllama Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 You can have my hogwarts slot ...wasn't a good fit for me ... POIs weren't really that strong in my area Hogwarts!? Really!? Gee, Oseirus, you're the best! I've been practicing my Quidditch.
superfluousflo Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Dear UW-Seattle person: How close to the east coast do you live?
Toulouse1 Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Anyone want to claim the UW acceptance? I think I might have to throw in the towel after all. I give up. What a shitty day.
oseirus Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Hogwarts!? Really!? Gee, Oseirus, you're the best! I've been practicing my Quidditch. Well I'm still on Durmstrang but Beauxbaton is a great consolation prize b/c let's just say that the ladies who go there are .... magical .... ;-)
Gene Parmesan Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Anyone want to claim the UW acceptance? I think I might have to throw in the towel after all. I give up. What a shitty day. Hi all, I'll claim the UW acceptance. It came in the mail today. I'm not home and was only relayed the news via phone, so I have no idea when the letter was dated. If I remember correctly, I was told the letter said something like 240+ applicants for 15 spots. Once I review the letter I'll post any pertinent info. BTW, for mail concerns, I'm on the West Coast. Sorry to all receiving bad news today. I'm channeling positive energy for everyone to receive good news in the next few days/weeks
crater21 Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Oh dear - looks like it was a brutal day here with both Harvard and Columbia rejections coming in! Sorry to hear about everyone who got disappointing news. I haven't received the Harvard rejection yet - I'm guessing it would take longer for mail to arrive at non-US addresses, so maybe it'll come in later this week. But, surprisingly, I'm totally okay with it. Didn't think I would be.
glitzkrieg Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Long time lurker, but my Northeastern University-induced insanity has forced me out of the shadows. So, anybody want to claim the Northeastern MA acceptance?

So, anybody want to claim the Northeastern MA acceptance? Hi guys, congratulations to those who received good news today! @Glitzkrieg it is me. I was accepted at Northeastern today, into their MA program in American History. I received an email directing me to the online application on applyyourself. This is not my first choice because my main interest and background are not American History. Edited February 28, 2012 by alleykat glitzkrieg 1

crater21 Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Are Harvard rejections coming by email as well? (someone just posted an email rejection on the board).

PM me if you'd rather discuss it there. Thanks!
Gene Parmesan Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Gene, did you receive any news of this by e-mail first or was it just an acceptance letter and no word otherwise? PM me if you'd rather discuss it there. Thanks! I received only the letter via snail mail. Although I should say I've been out of town for a few days and was only notified today (when I wasn't home) that there was mail waiting for me. Again, I haven't read the letter so I don't know when it was dated. I can say that I emailed the program assistant last Monday (Feb. 20) asking about when decisions were planned to go out. The Prog Assistant replied back then that "notifications" would go out later in the week to next week (so now). When they replied with that, rejections had already begun going out. I wasn't notified of any status and I didn't speak with any prof or grad advisor. So keep an eye out in your mailboxes! Like I said, when I look at my mail finally I'll share any details that might shine light on what they're doing
