giacomo Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 compared to last year, they're pretty late this year
Chuck Posted February 2, 2012 Author Posted February 2, 2012 compared to last year, they're pretty late this year Maybe tomorrow? I think it's a little early to call them "late", but I'm probably just as antsy as you are! It looks like Wisconsin is one of the few schools to notify of acceptances and rejections all at once.... so when it does happen, we're all going to get bombed. I think if I were running an admissions office I'd want to send out decisions on a Friday afternoon. That way, you avoid having to be in the office for the initial stunned deluge of angry/random/excited/confused phone calls. Folks get the weekend to cool off and decide if their questions really are urgent. Looks like i misspoke in my first post- last year the Jan 31/Feb 1 notification deluge was on a Monday/Tuesday (not Friday/Saturday). So maybe we'll be getting some news early next week? *3 cheers for obsessive over-analyzing*!
ohhello Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 .... so when it does happen, we're all going to get bombed. Apt metaphor.
Sociograd Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 To the couple people accepted so far: would you mind posting what time you received your emails?
Sociograd Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Great...thanks! Hopefully they are still working on it now.
hobokennojokin Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 LOL (mixture of nervousness/indanity)... So it begins.
quantitative Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 LOL (mixture of nervousness/indanity)... So it begins. So begins the even more obsessive checking of my email....
Sociograd Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Well, if 2 people received acceptance emails around 7:30, I bet there are another 10 people out there at least who have already gotten acceptance emails, but who haven't posted on this site. I hope they are still working on sending on everything right now...it's almost 9:00 CST
Sociograd Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Yeah me too....I guess we'll know by tomorrow
doberman Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 the website says it usually updates the application status 7 am...cannot sleep well tonight.....
Sociograd Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Mine still shows pending...but I thought that meant the supporting documents.
Chuck Posted February 3, 2012 Author Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) Received acceptance circa 6:50 CST. Speechless! Edited February 3, 2012 by Chuck
felicidad Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Received acceptance circa 6:50 CST. Speechless! Congrats!
hobokennojokin Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Time to chalk this up as an unofficial rejection on the big board. Congratulations to those that received good news!
quantitative Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Time to chalk this up as an unofficial rejection on the big board. Congratulations to those that received good news! Don't chalk it as a rejection yet! I'm just hoping they're slowly notifying everyone...and just didn't get to ours yet.
Sociograd Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 The past results surveys do show that people received acceptances days apart from each other. Mang and Quantitative: lets all send acceptance brainwaves to the department for each other. By the way mang, do you listen to Ween?

I'm always up for new music recommendations though.
Sociograd Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 "Mang" is some word they've used in a few of their songs...like dude or man. They're a totally awesome band. The live DVD was filmed in Chicago. I'd suggest the Mollusk, Chocolate and Cheese, or Quebec for starters.

I like your thinking and I'm sending those positive brainwaves right now. Except, I've already ate all the chocolate in my house. kbirch 1
lovenhaight Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Received acceptance circa 6:50 CST. Speechless! Woohoo! Congratulations, Chuck!
Chuck Posted February 3, 2012 Author Posted February 3, 2012 Thanks for all the congratulations! I must say I'm extremely excited. My heart's not totally set on Wisconsin (still have to hear from 4 other programs), but I am so lucky to have such an excellent choice. I notice there are now a total of 5 acceptances posted on the results board! Speak up, fellow badgers! Let's talk Wisconsin! Ok, I know now is not the time to complain. But maybe it will be a small consolation to some people to know that the funding at Wisconsin is atrocious. They've done well to start guaranteeing 5 years of funding for their incoming cohorts (even though they state plainly that their program will take an average of 7 years), but the package is still nothing to write home about. Maybe a few years in the working world have spoiled me, but right now I'm having a hard time seeing how I will live for 7 years on ~$14,000 a year in a moderately-pricey city with no academic summer employment opportunities?!
