PollyTheory Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Well I just called Duke and got voicemail, so lets hope they're all busy at their computers entering our decisions into the system. You mean, acceptances. You hope they're all busy entering our acceptances.
convex Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Well I just called Duke and got voicemail, so lets hope they're all busy at their computers entering our decisions into the system. Or they read gradcafe and saw you coming.
IRHopeful Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 You mean, acceptances. You hope they're all busy entering our acceptances. Exactly what I was thinking.
AllFiredUp Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 I predict we'll hear from UNC late tomorrow (told you it'd be awhile!).
CatallaxisOfEvil Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 There seems to be an inordinate amount of good news floating around this board for the last 24 hours. I'll try not to take it personally and say instead - congratulations, everyone! Am I the only Brandeis applicant on here? I'm pretty sure they should be notifying this week. If there's anyone else hiding, let me know, I'm thinking of giving them a call...

Let me know if you find out any further information.
rlayla Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Ladies and Gentlemen: I give you, the absurdity of the notifications process. Not only did Yale tease me heartlessly by waiting nearly a week to tell me after they told everyone else, but it was a REJECTION! Ha! Twisting the dagger after impaling me? Probably. Oh well, after the Berkeley acceptance yesterday I'm not too torn up about it. Oh yale... you so crazy.

EDIT: In my department, "clowns" is not meant to be pejorative but rather endearing. Don't be wishing any shark attacks on me, if you please! And good luck, of course.
natofone Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 I meant leopard sharks (harmless bottom feeders), not tiger sharks (scary jaws). Oops!
DrRockso Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Broke down and called the Poli Sci Dep't at UGA. Was very nicely told that the Poli Sci Dep't recommended me for admission, though the grad school has final say. Official letter is due to be sent out at some point, funding decisions to be made in March. I'm counting this as an admission, yes?

DrRockso Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Thanks, all! Whooo!! ::high-fives all around::
convex Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 If we can believe that the gradcafe results from last year are reasonably representative, then, P(Admitted to UCLA | Not rejected in the first round) = .5
twright Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 I applied to Brandeis as well and haven't heard back from them either. Let me know if you find out any further information. spark25-- care to provide us with a complete list of the schools you applied to ... it seems to be a pretty long list.
vacsoracsata Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 If we can believe that the gradcafe results from last year are reasonably representative, then, P(Admitted to UCLA | Not rejected in the first round) = .5 You just made my day. After the cold shoulder from San Diego and Berkeley I am banking on some West Coast love from UCLA.
fenderpete Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 None of the Stanford admits from the board then?
doctorwho Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 None of the Stanford admits from the board then? It's crazy they made phone calls so early in the morning, if the time some of those were posted (7:45am?) was soon after they called. Maybe they're calling East Coasters first...
cjh19 Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 It's crazy they made phone calls so early in the morning, if the time some of those were posted (7:45am?) was soon after they called. Maybe they're calling East Coasters first... Maybe somebody came in to work extra early this morning because there are so many acceptance calls to make! A guy can dream.
doctorwho Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Maybe somebody came in to work extra early this morning because there are so many acceptance calls to make! Yeah, I thought something along those lines, too. Like maybe they came in and said, "Woah, this is a long list of acceptances. Well, better get started on making these calls early!" :roll:
IRHopeful Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Based on the results page, the Duke acceptances are definitely rolling in. Congrats to everyone who got one.
