CafeAuLait12 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 This can be expected from you CafeAuLait, and unfortunately, I don't have a good reply. But seriously, where's the commitment to your home state? I still love my Memphis Tigers basketball. I just like the state that paid for my undergraduate education a little more.

shavasana Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Does anyone know if Duke is done sending out decisions? I've seen a few up over the last 2 days, but I thought that they usually send out rejections the next day? Help? If you can't tell, I'm an absolute nervous wreck.

grace246 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 To those with WUSTL emails - did they seem to be sent all at once from the Dept, or from a Professor. Haven't head anything, and trying to work out if there is any hope... And congrats to all those with offers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shavasana Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Decisions didn't start popping up til late afternoon yesterday. Maybe the same happens today? Hopefully? I'm just the least patient person ever to walk the earth. {True confession: I learned Javascript and PHP just to pass the time while I was waiting for decisions. So sad...} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironheel!! Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Whats the consensus on calling depts. re: decisions? WHAT! You havent started calling! Balderdash ran out of time last year. Stanford only took in applicants who called over 100 times... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kombucha Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I worked in the Admissions office of my School last year, and those that called in multiple times earned the reputation of "that applicant." It proves a point of annoyance/hilarity for the Admissions staff -- nothing more, nothing less. I highly doubt one would jeopardize their place at the school. Then again, my paranoia levels are so high right now, that I don't think I'll be calling just on the off chance my potential supervisor happens to be walking through the Admissions Office. Ah, the self-loathing of this entire process! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balderdash Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) Meaning they won't tell you? That, and those that called in multiple times earned the reputation of "that applicant." It proves a point of annoyance/hilarity for the Admissions staff -- nothing more, nothing less. Your calling all the time does nothing to hurt your chances of being admitted, but it doesn't help at all. And in my experience, it makes you even more anxious. By the way, re: the earlier talk about a slow thread this year... we're almost at 500 posts in this thread. Last year, we didn't hit that mark until 09 February at 03:51 PM, incidentally from a post by yours truly. Seems things have picked up considerably this year.

And in my experience, it makes you even more anxious. I would agree with that. That said, I called Pittsburgh. According to the school, admissions decisions will not be mailed for a couple of weeks. This clearly contradicts the posted acceptance on the results page, but I thought that I would pass along the info anyway. Maybe they are admitting students in waves?

I was told something similar when I contacted them to check if all my admission materials were in. The DGS there said admission decisions may be sent out later than normal because of program restructuring. Who knows, hopefully we'll be hearing something soon. iwouldpreferanonymity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe I recall seeing that it was over 2 days, or so, last year. However, I could be totally wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
