balthasar Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Yes, any info about that admission would be appreciated. (Congrats to the person who received the acceptance, by the way!) I also want to add my voice to the inquiries above. Congrats on the acceptance in any case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohsnap Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Same on the request for info on the Northwestern acceptance. I didn't think they'd be notifying this soon. Congrats to the accepted person! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CafeAuLait12 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Anyone want to claim the Northwestern admit? Who sent the email? I hopped onto my Northwestern application status check and no movement yet. Interesting to see an acceptance so early, but congratulations to whoever it is!

okeydoke Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I'm a theorist and i've not had any word from UCLA just yet. I'm thinking it's probably a rejection but who knows. Thanks very much, ''Adorno''. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaspheming Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I hopped onto my Northwestern application status check and no movement yet. Interesting to see an acceptance so early, but congratulations to whoever it is! The system says it can't find my application. I logged on an hour ago with no problems. Damnit, I need to work, this is stressing me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwouldpreferanonymity Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Same on the request for info on the Northwestern acceptance. I didn't think they'd be notifying this soon. Congrats to the accepted person! Yeah. As I wrote earlier, I was told that they would not be notifying for a while yet. So I am confused - happy for whoever was accepted, but confused.

grrradtime Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Hi Everyone, I'm the Northwestern admit. The email was from Prof. Reno. I expected a wave of Northwestern acceptances to start coming through when I posted, so I'm also a bit surprised no one else has responded yet. Thanks for all the congratulations!! Good luck to everyone! iwouldpreferanonymity and RWBG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohsnap Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) If you don't mind my asking, has your status been updated on GATS, or did Prof. Reno let you know of the decision in the e-mail? Edited February 6, 2012 by ohsnap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megan Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 You can probably safely assume that if they want to get in touch with you, they'll manage by email. Or telegraph. Or cloned carrier pigeon. That's what I was assuming, but just thought I'd make sure I wasn't being misguided. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grrradtime Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 It was in the email. Still no change on GATS, which I'd already been checking obsessively. iwouldpreferanonymity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balderdash Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 I'm the Northwestern admit. The email was from Prof. Reno. I expected a wave of Northwestern acceptances to start coming through when I posted, so I'm also a bit surprised no one else has responded yet. Congrats! I also applied to work with him, so I would guess that unless I get an email tonight, I'm toast. S'alright though, I think my research is a better fit for Madison anyway. On that note, do you work with West Africa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carousel Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) Yay! Another Vandy person! What subfield are you planning to study? I'm American, with a focus on public opinion and mass political behavior. You? Are you planning on going to the admit weekend? Congrats on Vandy! Did you both receive e-mails from your POI, or did it look to be a mass e-mail? Yeah, I also just got an email from the DGS. However, at the end she requested to set up another phone call to extend more personal congratulations and answer any questions. I thought that was a nice touch.

balthasar Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Congrats again grrradtime and thanks for appeasing our curiosity. So what I understand from this and from the previous NWU results is, if we do not receive any news within a few days we are indeed toast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CafeAuLait12 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I'm American, with a focus on public opinion and mass political behavior. You? Are you planning on going to the admit weekend? I am in IR, with a focus on security and the use of third parties. I might go to the admit weekend, but I am going to see if I can visit over my Spring Break instead so I don't miss class. Are you?

So what I understand from this and from the previous NWU results is, if we do not receive any news within a few days we are indeed toast. Let the finger crossing and excessive e-mail refreshing begin...again. ETA: And up goes another acceptance. Looks like they are beginning to roll in. Best of luck, especially to those who haven't heard anything back yet. Is it so terrible that I want options? I'm jealous of those with more than one acceptance, even though I know I'm lucky to have even one. Edited February 6, 2012 by ohsnap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christe Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I wish I could, I also noticed a new slew of admittances for UC-Davis, congrats to those who were accepted. I just logged in to check my status and it stated all Maryland decisions would be through the mail, can anyone else confirm this? I was the "annoying person" who posted about Maryland. On Friday I got an email telling me to check my application online. The letter posted on the application was dated Feb 1. I received a letter the next day which had information about funding. I was really surprised to be notified so soon. I submitted my application mid-January which was only a couple weeks early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was the one who called you the "annoying person" (which I took back shortly after if you noticed, so please no hard feelings) thinking that it was a fake post on the day of the application deadline. Schools' tendency of informing us about our results sporadically makes me (and I'm sure many others) seriously jumpy good luck to all this week.

georgesstsilva Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Hey all, Received acceptance email from DSG today, and but voicemail was very confusing. Could you help me to decipher it? I made a topic about it: http://forum.thegradcafe.com/topic/28301-voicemail-from-stanford-confused/ Thanks!

blaspheming Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 YEEEHAAAW!!!! Got into my top choice - heard via informal avenues. Not sure when most notifications go out, but I'll see some of you in Palo Alto ! (really not trolling here - informal phone call of congrats, please don't read into the timing. I heard more information is coming next week, so maybe that's when the official ones go out?) Thank you for being such a supportive community GC. For those who don't get in this go around - I have 12 rejection letters from a couple years ago. You can do it! Congrats!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
