mdnicx42 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I'm also still waiting on NYU. We're probably on some kind of wait-list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallblood Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Today, I got a rejection e-mail from NYU. Best of luck to others who are waiting on NYU!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivyreject Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 God i know that feeling... at this point i'm avoiding advisor's and anyone else who might ask "hey, you heard from any of the schools yet" ugh i hate that feeling... ---my last hope is georgetown It's all a matter of perspective. For some of us, Georgetown is a huge reach, not a safety... You have submitted yourself to a rigorous process and you have a great deal of ambition, given your list of schools. Your advisors all know how intensely competitive this process is. I've been pretty quiet about the notifications I've received, mostly because my job doesn't know I'm leaving. But when it comes to friends and loved ones, I'm not taking any sympathy, nor offering up any excuses. It is what it is. Some people are way smarter and have worked way harder for this than I have. Others have not. It is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackassjim Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Northwestern update Just thought some of you might want to know this, as it might help keep the hope alive: I have just withdrawn my application, and I received an email from someone in the department, informing me that my file was under serious consideration. That must mean that they are not completely done yet. I hope that some of those who are still waiting get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivyreject Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 OK, so I saw two Boston University acceptances by postal service yesterday. I live in Florida, so i was hoping maybe today would be the day. But alas! Rejected at BC, MIT, and now BU... I really wanted to go back to Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevertheless, I'm still expecting the "rejected" axe to befall upon my ApplyYourself webpage at any moment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimisticPOLITICS Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 For the past few days I have been so sad and angry and sad but today I just realized that maybe it is time to start celebrating my Georgia Acceptance and possible Howard. I feel so much better the stress is gone, the knot etc. Now am just hoping we all get funded and are happy. I think the standards of every school will go higher after this tough election opps application cycle. I guess all of us who in to at least one school have to celebrate and stop stressing and those who haven't have faith. I am still hoping for NWU and NYU but if not ohh well. 30 years from now we will tell our kids about this (ps am only 23). We will be ok ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenzhu Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I'm China right now so I have to wait for the Chinese to go through my mail first so that adds two weeks of anxiety. I appreciated the email rejections because then I could get over the angst in one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mormegil Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 The Rice rejection came in by post. The TAMU rejection as well. I hate you Texas. Coupled with WashU it makes for 3 rejections on my birthday. Perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poccai Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I have yet to receive anything from MIT (Masters). What's the deal? I still havn't heard anything from MIT (phd) ... wonder what's up.. anyone else who's still waiting for a word from MIT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shac00 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 i haven't heard from MIT either, but since i'm at overseas, the (rejection) letter probably is on the way here... losing much hope this year... only left with GW and USC(is it out yet?). with a scholarship and three-year experience of lecturing, i (mistakently) thought that i have strong credentials... well, c'est la vie! btw, would it be wise to take a master's course or reapply for phd next year? generally what do people do??

polarbear0627 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I still havn't heard anything from MIT (phd) ... wonder what's up.. anyone else who's still waiting for a word from MIT? Yes, I am. I am also waiting on Columbia, NYU, and the who-know-what-the-hell-is-going-on Minnesota. Sigh. 14 Applications, 10 rejections received. Guess I have to find another thing to do next year. Sigh again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
