bodywithoutorgans Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Among those accepted to UCLA, are any of you in the Race, Ethnicity and Politics subfield? Theory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovezvezda Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) Someone posted a UCSB acceptance via website. (If you're here) did they direct you to the website via email or did you randomly check? yes, it is me and the email directed me to the application website where the letter was. after the ugly ding from Michigan, it put me in a better mood !

RWBG Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Seriously, I feel like I must have accidentally sent Michigan someone else's transcripts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kolja00 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Call from unknown number. Heart skipped a beat. That happened to me yesterday. My phone said it was from Cali so I was hoping it would be Berkeley or Stanford, but it was my bank instead haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantman Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Seriously, I feel like I must have accidentally sent Michigan someone else's transcripts. Do not be so modest, Michigan saw the potential in you, that is why they chose you. Regardless of where you go I am sure you will do a great many things.

balthasar Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) tergellian, balderdash, RWBG, bodywithoutorgans and Tamboursg'sell CONGRATS GUYS!!!!! I am so happy for you!! Hopefully these will be the first (second and third ) of the many good news you will hear very soon!! I really like it when people here bring good news, I really do. as for OSU, three results yesterday (which no one claimed) and none today. that doesn't sync well with the results of previous years. not that i am entirely convinced that they are fake but what do you guys think? ps. and tergellian, no more chainsmoking for you I presume Edited February 3, 2012 by balthasar CooCooCachoo and iwouldpreferanonymity 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWBG Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Thank you to everyone for all the kind words. Let me just say that for anyone not succesful this year (and it's still really early on, so no-one should be worrying too much yet), my experience suggests that you shouldn't be too discouraged; I was rejected everywhere last year, and fully expected this year to be the same. All the best to everyone in the rest of the cycle; I think we may hear from a few more schools tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bauhaus Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Wow, Congrats for duke, umich & ucla! I hope those on waitlists will get in ultimately. Also, is it possible the stanford remains silent?

Oh and afterwards Im off to the 'stans so in case tergellian has some insights I would greatly appreciate it . Also, I'd like to thank the forum more generally and balderash in particular for offering such great advice. i'm convinced that without this very thread I would have made some very dumb errors in my app. Thanks again! whirlibird 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wordshadow Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Congrats to you likewise! I would like to attend and will probably end up going if they would be able to cover some of the cost of airfare given that I live in South Carolina. What about you?

I also plan to attend if I can get some travel/lodging expenses covered. I have been invited to two other visitation days in CA, so hopefully I can work something out in which I can hit up all three at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
