jackassjim Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Two for two! Wisconsin comes in with five years of full funding. I'm totally excited -- there are a lot of faculty there that I want to work with. 'Great job on the applications there mate! It must feel good (it did for me) to know that there are no obvious red flags in your application. Now on to the bigger names. I wish you the best for the rest!
twright Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 I'm curious if anyone received a rejection from Wisconsin because I haven't heard anything yet...
catchermiscount Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 I'm curious if anyone received a rejection from Wisconsin because I haven't heard anything yet... I would guess that those of us that didn't get letters probably will either be quick rejects or the dreaded "maybe" pile...woo hoo!
twright Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 I would guess that those of us that didn't get letters probably will either be quick rejects or the dreaded "maybe" pile...woo hoo! that makes me feel so much better ... but coachrjc, i doubt that you will be rejected given your track record so far ... so that does make me feel a little better
catchermiscount Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 that makes me feel so much better ... but coachrjc, i doubt that you will be rejected given your track record so far ... so that does make me feel a little better Ha, I dunno about that, but thanks for the ego boost - we all need one about now. I would think that we'll know if we're quick rejects by early next week, though...that timing would make the most sense given the pattern.
plisar Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Also remember that mail is very hectic and strange. Give it until Monday before losing hope (or at least until online status messages start to update). If it makes you guys feel better, I will continue to look at the status page so that any of you looking for signs will be updated.
adaptations Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 For all those waiting on WI, I wouldn't count yourself out of the first round acceptances yet (I'm not). Given that they use snail mail, I figure there is a couple day window of receiving first round notices. Best of luck,
jackassjim Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Do they have the internet in Wisconsin yet? I don't think so, given that the train tracks got there last month...
twright Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 this silence from UVA is really starting to annoy me ... not to mention i just received an e-mail from another university telling me that they are missing one of my letters of recommendation :x
catchermiscount Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Everybody's stressed. I vote we TP some houses. Plisar's is first on the hit parade. Oooooooooooooh snap. Â Â
AllFiredUp Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 For all those waiting on WI, I wouldn't count yourself out of the first round acceptances yet (I'm not). Given that they use snail mail, I figure there is a couple day window of receiving first round notices. Best of luck, Agreed. The letters were only printed Monday. If I don't get one tomorrow, I'll be worried. My sense is that the people who got acceptances today are in the midwest.
twright Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Agreed. The letters were only printed Monday. If I don't get one tomorrow, I'll be worried. My sense is that the people who got acceptances today are in the midwest. Well, I live in the Midwest, and I didn't receive a letter from Wisconsin today ... I guess I should be worried....
rlayla Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Agreed. The letters were only printed Monday. If I don't get one tomorrow, I'll be worried. My sense is that the people who got acceptances today are in the midwest. Dude, I didn't apply to WI, but please on g-d's green earth never trust your emotional health to the post service, FEDEX, ups or anything having to do with a mail box. If it doesn't come tomorrow, it means nothing.

If it doesn't come tomorrow, it means nothing. I trust USPS. Are you implying that the federal bureaucracy is inefficient?
BigCheese Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 well i'm calling it a night... maybe tomorrow will be better... :cry:
convex Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Dear admission committees, Please open R, run the following code, and act accordingly. Thank you. ############################################################ days <- seq(1, 40, 1) se.fn <- function(x){ 1/x } plot(days, se.fn(days), main="My Self-Esteem as a Function of How Long I Go with No Acceptances", ylab="Self Esteem", xlab="Time (Days)", type="l") abline(h=0.1, col="red", lty=2) text(20, 0.12, col="red", "Danger Zone") ############################################################
jackassjim Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Well done my friend, Well done! I literally laughed out loud. Especially because of the "Danger Zone". It had a real "top gun"-quality to it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPYF2p-cGx8 For those who don't have R installed, here's a jpg of convex' masterpiece:
DrRockso Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Is anyone else applying to UGA? The "Grad School Admissions Database" notes that my page was last updated today, but with no decision posted or any other changes.
PollyTheory Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 My application status says "completed". What does THAT mean?? Unfortunately it also says that they did not receive my GRE scores, so I hope that "completed" doesn't mean "soon to be rejected".
t_ruth Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Is anyone else applying to UGA? The "Grad School Admissions Database" notes that my page was last updated today, but with no decision posted or any other changes. I'm not PoliSci, but I have an acceptance letter from UGA and their website still hasn't updated w/a decision.
spark25 Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Is anyone else applying to UGA? The "Grad School Admissions Database" notes that my page was last updated today, but with no decision posted or any other changes. I applied to UGA as well. My file has been "incomplete" for the last month or so. According to them, they still haven't received my transcripts, not from me, but from the graduate office. Also got that e-mail from Notre Dame saying the department still haven't received my LORs. Well they were all apparently sent in November and early December and the application status page shows that they have "officially" received them. Talk about organizational efficiency! I guess it is important to continuously check with the departments for updates.
mormegil Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 My Notre Dame applyyourself page says 'application submitted'. Did somebody say they've started to update the pages? On the other hand, DHL took 13 friggin' days to deliver my transcripts to Texas A&M. 13 DAYS! I had already missed their deadline as I got my transcripts in the first week of January and the grad school told me to send them by first week. I have completely lost hope on TAMU for this snafu. And the worst thing is, they still haven't updated my application page. It says they haven't received my transcripts yet. Maybe I should call them? Of course, I could always say 'who wants to live in College Station?' :mrgreen:
technocat Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 My application status says "completed" on for Notre Dame. What does THAT mean?? Unfortunately it also says that they did not receive my GRE scores, so I hope that "completed" doesn't mean "soon to be rejected". My application changed to "completed" when the last part of my file was marked as received. It doesn't mean anything. Breathe.
