I applied in American Politics for what its worth Congrats on getting the invite. But unfortunately it does not help quell my anxiety, it just makes me feel more worthless. Best of luck in your interview I am sure you will do great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied in American Politics for what its worth You had an interview at MIT as well, right? Good record so far. Good luck in the interview(s)! I'm happy about Madison, so maybe I shouldn't worry too much about Vandy, but the anxiety is still rising. Starting to think that's gonna be a no from Nashville.

I did have the MIT interview also. That said, I haven't heard anything from Madison, so you are ahead of me on that one and I'd happily trade two interviews for one offer any day of the week and twice on Sundays.

blackcoffee64 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Duke sent out a lot of rejections today to applicants in other departments. Not a happy day... Well at least I didn't get a rejection letter from duke...makes me feel a little better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balthasar Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Congrats so far jsclar and well said. On a side note, I am touched by the activism displayed in this forum lately, after the relatively dull past few weeks. whirlibird 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balderdash Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 I take it Stanford didn't send decisions today? This lowers my optimism that Duke will send stuff out tomorrow (last Friday in Jan) per last year. Le sigh. Yeah, I didn't get anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Power Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Delayed anything == more grey hairs. i'm ok with the grey hairs. they add the the air of being a distinguished, grey haired gentleman. And lets be honest, many of the best academics and world leaders can well be described as distinguished, grey haired gentlemen. its the hair loss that is troubling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I was a good fit. Goodly number of people in the dept do what I do; spoke with a couple faculty members about fit; et cetera. But hey, can't win them all. I should just be grateful about UW-M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Percy Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Hey everyone, long time lurker, first time poster. I posted one of the Madison acceptances but what was reluctant to chime in on here (superstitious I guess, I read the email about a dozen times and emailed the DGS to make sure I wasn't hallucinating). It's nice to have a place to express some solidarity as the waiting game begins for the rest of the schools. Congrats and good luck to everyone so far! whirlibird 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2010Applicant Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Thanks. I did have the MIT interview also. That said, I haven't heard anything from Madison, so you are ahead of me on that one and I'd happily trade two interviews for one offer any day of the week and twice on Sundays. Hi Jsclar, I would like to ask you about your MIT interview. Does it seem that they have specific questions just for you, or is it true that all remaining applicants receive an interview. I haven't heard anything, so I would like to know whether I've effectively been rejected already. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Power Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 it seemed that it was pretty specific to me. pm me if you want details about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in my mid-20s and I noticed a scattered sample of gray hairs this morning in the mirror. Perhaps I'll automatically acquire the wisdom that purportedly accompanies age as a result of their appearance. Edit: Also, jsclar, what about the distinguished, gray-haired gentlewomen?

jasonmonty Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Hey all! Back for my second time around of this madness. Good luck to everyone, regardless of whether it's your first or fifteenth time applying. Hopefully this is an appropriate thread to ask this: I think that I've noticed something different about my University of Texas-Austin application homepage. I believe that for the past month, I've only had two available tabs in the my "Mystatus" homepage interface: "Dashboard" and "Admission." While my admission status is still listed as "In Review," I believe that there are two new tabs available: "Housing" and "Financial Aid." Based on this information, I have a few questions: - For my fellow UT-Austin applicants: Are these, in fact, new tabs? Or has the stress of waiting around for results finally and officially cracked my sanity, and they've been there all along? - If they are new, is this a significant change? If this is a new development, I'm wondering if this is a change that every applicant will see on his/her homepage, or if it might signal something... more exciting. Not putting too much stock in something like this, but I need to do something to pass the time, right? Netflix can only supply so many discs of the Sopranos at once.

balthasar Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Edit: Speaking of signatures, what does 7.5 applications mean? You've piqued my interest. The half application means I have the application prepared for a safety school and will submit if I don't hear any good news in the first two weeks of February. by the way what's up with the consistent negative rep points? i guess someone in this forum really has an issue with you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I have a half application as well Not sure exactly about the negative feedback. I'm guessing someone's sense of humor has taken a beating during this process, which I must say is pretty easy to understand! edost, jasonmonty, balthasar and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
