ohsnap Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) Congratulations on all acceptances! Please, spread joy! If you got accepted to your first choice (and with acceptable funding), please, send a decline notice to your other grad schools. It will help the others (who are still in limbo) to get their "Good News" messages during the next (hopefully) wave of acceptances. Peace! While I can certainly understand your request, I feel like it's a little early to begin asking for that. I know several people who have had a first choice going into the season, but go with another university because of information that they receive at the admissions weekend, whether that be that POIs are too busy during the semester, or that personalities simply don't match up, or other random information that can heavily impact the decision. It's an important decision, it's stressful, and it takes time. Best of luck to you during your season. Like I've been saying, I'm hoping that everyone here gets in somewhere with some fantastic funding. ETA: looks like you beat me to it, ss, but I certainly agree with you.

balledematch Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Anybody have any guesses when Columbia might notify? I hope it's today! I recall someone saying that they heard it would be "early to mid" this week. Fingers crossed that I'll have some good luck with all the good news flying around the board last night!

chaetzli Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I seriously feel like throwing up. This is THE week and somehow I fear that by the end of the week I've been rejected by all universities. Any advices how to cheer myself up? I listened ten times to Michel Teló's "ai se eu the pego" but it does not work anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whirlibird Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Congratulations to everyone for all the good news! I'm especially pumped for those who are hearing their first! Imagine a bird moonwalking...no, not just a bird...an emu...yes....that's what I'm doing right now. In my head, of course. I'm not actually a bird. Wait, what?

PoliSci27 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Slow morning so far... I don't like it. Not only are schools not making decisions, people on the board aren't putting up new posts. It's too quiet. GradCafe is supposed to entertain me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GradCafe is supposed to entertain me! Though I'm more of a lurker, I agree. This board is too quiet. I need it to entertain me to take away some of the pain associated with waiting for decisions. On a more optimistic note, University of Washington's website says that they make decisions by the middle of February and then send out notifications. It is mid-February, so hopefully we'll hear from them soon. =) Edited February 14, 2012 by CairoKid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

non humilis mulier Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Do you think schools may not be notifying today because of valentine's day? It's always horrible to get a rejection, but it would be especially annoying today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
