catchermiscount Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 I was wrong - Rochester was first today. Good luck to all.
natofone Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Congrats coach, you're getting in everywhere.
plisar Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Rochester already? Congrats, coach. They're making phone calls! Good luck!

expatbayern Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Rochester! That was not what I was expecting when I got the Unknown number phone call this morning. I had gotten myself in a frame of mind where I was certain the first three I'd hear back from were OSU, Madison, and Yale, all of which are second-tier schools for me. Turns out my first decision was from Rochester, which is a top choice, and when I told the guy on the phone that they were the first I'd heard back from, he said "I'm sure you'll be hearing back from lots of others--you've got a great file, and we're excited about competing for you." It's so incredibly validating, relieving, etc., because I was pretty certain I had the stats to get into at least one of my top choices, but these past weeks, I just kept thinking, "what happens if I don't get in anywhere, or just into one or two places I don't really want to go (even though I applied as safeties)?" Not trying to brag/show up people who haven't received acceptances yet--I hope everyone has this same wonderful experience of knowing "well, I don't have to worry anymore, because even if everyone else rejects me, I'm going to a great program where I can succeed." And for the folks who have been waitlisted/rejected at places that aren't your top choices, remember that your top choices are your top choices because of fit, and they'll recognize that too--like me with Rochester, I'm a modeler, so I'm excited about them and they're excited about me, but that doesn't guarantee I'll get in at lower-ranked programs where I'm not as good of a fit. Sorry for the huge rant, I'm just shaking with excitement.
Luckige Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 "I'm sure you'll be hearing back from lots of others--you've got a great file, and we're excited about competing for you." A perfect ego-booster, congratulations!
fenderpete Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Congrats expat and everyone else who's hearing back today with positive news Still nothing for me... This essay about Hezbollah isn't really progressing for some reason lol
rlayla Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 I got that last week. I followed the instructions and sent an email to the access at osu dot com. They never replied, but my account went back to normal. Yeah got mine fixed pretty quickly. I wish I would hear something...
spark25 Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Yeah my status for Duke has not changed either. This is even more nervous than I thought. Anyways, congrats to all those who got accepted!! The weekly waiting game begins again.

jackassjim Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 No word from Rochester I got a phone call from them before noon and i'm an international student.
DrRockso Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 A new TAMU acceptance is on the results page. (They received word January 14th?! Less than a month after the admissions deadline?)
natofone Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Another Duke ding on the search page. I'm wondering if they're just doing the first round of cuts for some arbitrarily selected GRE/GPA cutoff?
plisar Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 For those who applied to UCLA, are any of you having trouble access your decision status? It basically brings me to a screen notifying me about the Clerry Act and then it says I've already submitted my application. Strange https://www.gradadmissions.ucla.edu/

convex Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Me too, although this is a recent development because that's not what I saw earlier this morning.
plisar Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Whoever is being rude on the Results page needs to seriously cut it out. A person just got rejected, and he or she is being attacked.
natofone Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 true plisar. you applied to literally every single school that I did (and then some).
vig180 Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Friend of mine with a 4.0 and high (1500ish) GRE scores just got turned down from Duke too, so I don't think this is some arbitrary cutoff line.

I know I have way lower GRE/GPA scores and my application status page has not been changed. I would rather like to go with the assumption that they are updating the pages alphabetically. Then again I could be wrong.
