lordvader Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 I did not apply to Pitt, but a woman in my Master's program found out today that she was admitted to Pitt with full funding. I am not sure if all the decisions went out today though. I hope that is helpful! thanks for the info
bodywithoutorgans Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Am I looking in the wrong place when searching the status of my application? I am seeing Status: Submitted on many of them (more specifically, on the ApplyYourself apps). Is there another place to look? Thanks!
whirlibird Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 ^ Hang in there; this ain't over yet. It ain't over 'til it's over! And we don't need no stinking badges! What are some other ones to throw in...uh... Of course I'm serious. And don't call me Shirley. You. Shall not. PASS! All right, I'm done. Sometimes just being ridiculous is, I think, the best course of action.
icedance Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Yep, I have the same question. For Duke, where we should check our status or just ApplyYourself. They emailed me an Identification Number, but I don't know whether I need it to check status? Thank you~~
RWBG Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Congrats to whomever wishes to claim the Ohio State acceptance! PoliSci27 and lordvader 2

Thank you~~ I can't speak to the Duke application, but in past years a new button is added once the decision becomes available. Also, as per Northwestern (their emphasis): Once an admission decision has been rendered on your application, a "View Decision" link will appear below. If no "View Decision" link is listed on this page, an admission decision has not yet been rendered on your application.
blaspheming Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Got a notification saying someone googled my name and school at 5:10 AM PST. This is making me neurotic. potbellypete 1
Secret Squirrel Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Haha, I know the feeling. I get those once in a while and it just makes me incredibly paranoid.
brent09 Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 It's incredible how quickly optimism can decay into a gnawing, gnashing pessimism.
blackcoffee64 Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 It's incredible how quickly optimism can decay into a gnawing, gnashing pessimism. To quote Ba Chin "Have courage, have courage, always have courage."
RWBG Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 It's incredible how quickly optimism can decay into a gnawing, gnashing pessimism. Why are you so pessimistic? You're in at some fantastic schools.
brent09 Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Why are you so pessimistic? You're in at some fantastic schools. Well, we all want the maximum number of options. If Duke and Vanderbilt are "no", that makes me think Wisconsin was more a fluke. In that case, the other top-15 programs I applied to look more like "probable no" today than they did a couple days ago. Can't win them all -- we all recognize that. Still doesn't stop the rejections from stinging.
edost Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Got a notification saying someone googled my name and school at 5:10 AM PST. This is making me neurotic. How do I do that for myself? I checked out Google Alerts, but it doesn't seem to have an option of notifying me whenever someone searches for a certain term.

Still doesn't stop the rejections from stinging. As someone who has applied to schools that haven't notified yet, I would be feeling infinitely better if I had one acceptance, even if it was a "fluke." I'm jealous of you, brent09....enjoy your acceptance at a wonderful school, and I'm sure more will follow!

It's easy to get caught up in the anxiety that you overlook how lucky you are. </funk>
GomSaem (Bear Teacher) Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 To quote Ba Chin "Have courage, have courage, always have courage." Of course you would quote Ba Chin. But seriously, 'Family' was a good read, but horribly depressing.

(Best basketball program in history, really...)

brent09 Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 By the way, WUSTL letters dropping by e-mail now. Screw pessimism. Mood much higher now.
PoliSci27 Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Alabama football (Roll Tide) > all other SEC football programs > any other division and any other sport 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?
