shavasana Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Awesome! Istanbul is super fun. Which 'stans? I'm envious, I would love to be traveling right now! 1# I also want to know which 'Stan. Just got back from Tajikistan a few months ago...incredibly interesting and beautiful. 2: For anyone still waiting, Duke says they still haven't sent out the majority of their acceptances. (Gives me hope, but I thought I'd add a bit of joy to everyone's weekend.) saltlakecity2012 and edost 2

(Gives me hope, but I thought I'd add a bit of joy to everyone's weekend.) Tajikistan is awesome - were you just in Dushanbe, or did you get into the countryside at all? Also thanks for the heads up on Duke! Edit: Secret Squirrel - looks like you were right on the money re: who we'd hear from this week. Maybe you can make some extra cash while in grad school moonlighting as a psychic? And huge congratulations to the Berkeley acceptance - fingers crossed for all the rest of us!

RWBG Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Duke's rejection letter is up on applyyourself for me (I did not receive an e-mail.) On an odder note, I received an e-mail from a POI at UCLA that implied I had been admitted and asked to set up a time to speak over the phone, but still haven't heard anything officially from UCLA about either admission or funding. Not sure exactly how to interpret it!

icedance Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Mine isn't yet. I'm still holding out hope! And good luck with UCLA!!! Same here, mine is not yet. Still hold slim hope though. BTW, UCB seems come out now~~ Wisconsin, Umich are out. Should I still have hope?
RWBG Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 It was kind of hidden at the bottom. I didn't notice it at first.
shavasana Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 @tergellian I was in Dushanbe primarily, but I also spent some time in Khojand. (And 3 hours in Samarkand, Uzbekistan due to some bad weather on the way in.) I was living across the street from Parliament for a couple of months, so that was definitely an experience to tell the kids about...you know. Someday.
RWBG Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Now Duke sent me an e-mail to let me know the letter was there. Beat them to it! Obsession ftw.
edost Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 It was kind of hidden at the bottom. I didn't notice it at first. Was it on the main page (where it shows the list of recommenders) or did you have to get into the application for admissions? 2: For anyone still waiting, Duke says they still haven't sent out the majority of their acceptances. (Gives me hope, but I thought I'd add a bit of joy to everyone's weekend.) Thanks, it's good to still have some hope. Congrats to the people accepted into Berkely!
brent09 Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 It was kind of hidden at the bottom. I didn't notice it at first. Bottom of the main page? The actual app? The message center?
kolja00 Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Still nothing for me on Duke. Oooooh and Berkeley acceptances!?! Exciting
Ironheel!! Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Any news about Vanderbilt? As someone who was not invited for a phone chat, I am curious if anyone spoke to their POIs and if there is a timeline for decisions.
CooCooCachoo Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Whoever posted that Berkeley admission got my heart racing like crazy. Congrats on the admission, but I'm fearing mine will be a rejection if I haven't heard yet.
iwouldpreferanonymity Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Since people are asking for news - does anyone know anything about Pittsburgh? Anything at all?

Congrats on the admission, but I'm fearing mine will be a rejection if I haven't heard yet. Only 1 seems like it would be a fake. Kinda like that Stanford one. Most of the time is seems they come in bunches, like Duke, UCLA, and Michigan the last few days.
brent09 Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Any news about Vanderbilt? As someone who was not invited for a phone chat, I am curious if anyone spoke to their POIs and if there is a timeline for decisions. I've heard conflicting messages. A POI told me that, in the past, interviews were not mandatory for admission. Saw a note from a current applicant that his/her POI indicated that all finalists were going to be interviewed. I don't think there's any more recent news than that. Personally, I'll assume that the latest information (the current applicant) is closer to the truth.

I agree with you from a rational point of view, but when I am in a frantic anticipatory mode I tend not to be that levelheaded. iwouldpreferanonymity 1

Vandy's not my number 1, but I was a bit bummed, thought I had a nice fit with a few profs in the dept. Oh, well, maybe after some of the varsity players decide Vandy is a backup it will open some openings for the JVs.

RWBG Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Just received offer from UCLA with full funding, with a note that they meant to send me an e-mail earlier and I was somehow missed. saltlakecity2012 1
iwouldpreferanonymity Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Just received offer from UCLA with full funding, with a note that they meant to send me an e-mail earlier and I was somehow missed. Congratulations, RWBG! You now have three tremendous programs from which to choose.
CooCooCachoo Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Just received offer from UCLA with full funding, with a note that they meant to send me an e-mail earlier and I was somehow missed. Sweet! You're all set, by the looks of it.
Adornopolisci2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Gah! I still haven't heard anything...I think next week will be my week.
grantman Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Just received offer from UCLA with full funding, with a note that they meant to send me an e-mail earlier and I was somehow missed. Congrats again and to everyone who has recieved admittances this week, I know you will do great work.
