doctorwho Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Anyone else hopeful for Berkeley or Stanford today? Personally, I'm still freaking out about Yale because they enjoy teasing my soul. Can't speak to Yale, but based on my dream last night (a completely reliable source, right?) I'd say today is THE day for Berkeley or Stanford. I dreamed that I was at an admitted students preview day, but I still didn't know if I was accepted! I had these stacks of papers to look through, and I kept looking for one that said "Congratulations!" but couldn't find one... so frustrating. For Stanford, since most acceptances seem to come via telephone call, shouldn't I be relieved if I have an empty inbox?? No email news is GOOD news, right??

plisar Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 All quiet on the Duke, UVA and Northwestern front for me. Not a good sign at all. UVA is a bit scary, but to be fair, no one has really heard anything from NWU, and with Duke, thus far no-news is good news. The only people who have heard from Duke no longer have hope at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
convex Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 By the way plisar, I noticed that your list of schools is alphabetized. OCD? :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mormegil Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 How many people does Northwestern generally send admits to anyway, including folks on the waitlist? Mid 20s maybe? More/less? I guess it depends on how many people accept the admits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoliSci Guy Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 OK, since the standard that we use to predict upcoming notifications is REM sleep...I'm happy to announce that we'll be hearing from U. Washington today and Georgetown last week! Yay! Oddly enough, in my dream I wasn't happy that I got into Georgetown but THRILLED about UW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swr22 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Hey! First time poster here. My UVA page still says 'pending' which is ominous. Anyone else applied to USC? Anyone know when they are meant to be revealing their chosen ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know when they are meant to be revealing their chosen ones? I hear you buddy, mine still states "PENDING" as well. My assumption is that UVA has two rounds, but I could be wrong and they are just being lazy posting the results up on the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My assumption is that UVA has two rounds, but I could be wrong and they are just being lazy posting the results up on the board. Have any negatives gone out, though? Because if some have been admitted and others waitlisted and yet no one rejected, then I may as well stop checking for that 'pending' to change! Thanks for the help, though. You have just unofficially become my UVA foxhole buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have just unofficially become my UVA foxhole buddy. Well I do believe I have seen some rejections on this thread and also on the results page as well. My approach would be: be pessimistic but not give up hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intapp001 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I'm in the same position with UVA - since I was told to get back to them at the end of this week, I am hoping that some decisions are still to be made....not too optimistic about that though. Will let you know if my status changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
