jackassjim Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 What exactly does scintille mean? Is that french? It is french, and it means to shine "quickly/intermittently", as in "a flickering light"," une lumi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mormegil Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I hope that you are right. Not everyone uses gradcafe, so we are only seeing a sample of the overall lot. True. But I guess we still have hope. Mayhaps they have notified the 'top' applicants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natofone Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I'm hoping that they've only notified one particular subfield (theory). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scintille Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I'm hoping that they've only notified one particular subfield (theory). Noooo not theory. So are they probably done with theory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natofone Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I have no clue. I am just hoping that they aren't done with the main batch of acceptances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oscarwildebeest Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I'm hoping that they've only notified one particular subfield (theory). And I'm hoping they've still got a little bit'a theory love left in'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscarwildebeest Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Noooo not theory. So are they probably done with theory? Oh, calm down, you. No one here is any position to do more than speculate. They may well be done with our kind, or they may be admitting several more. Unfortunately, they don't seem real keen on notifying their rejects, so you and I and ours just have to decide how long we want to keep our fingers crossed.

plisar Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I don't think "oh calm down" is a necessary thing to say. She's perfectly within her right to react however she'd like... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swr22 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Yeah, I don't think anyone here would have any interest in upsetting anyone, so perhaps we should just all take a deep breath before leaping to conclusions. Anyway, how about them Red Sox, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scintille Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Was anyone else hoping to get into Duke so they could spend spring break somewhere warm? Just a little bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poliscidude Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Well, looks like another Rutgers acceptance has been posted...and it's not me. My status still says "no decision." Still nothing from UVA and I assume I'm rejected from Chicago. I wish rejection notices would go out at the same time. They could at least have the decency to give the rejects a timely answer as well so we can get on with our lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the admissions gods will shine on you. I was half-expecting this one as my undergrad grades are terrible, especially math grades and Emory is one of the more quantitatively focused programs, I believe? Well, for me, this rejection sounds warning bells for JHU, NWU and UChicago (which is a goner already) at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
