TripWillis Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 Thanks for letting us know! Yeah, who knows? I'll try not to think about it.
TripWillis Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) Who is claiming that e-mail acceptance? I got nothing yet. Gonna check the ASF now. Edit: No info there. Edited February 14, 2012 by TripWillis
jma310 Posted February 14, 2012 Author Posted February 14, 2012 I can't claim that one but my bf just got an email acceptance. It has a first year 0 teaching fellowship so could be an early notice.

TripWillis Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 I'm sort of sensing that this and Davis will be my first implicit rejections, but I'm still trying to remain in denial that I can go 10/10 on apps (I'm not doing a very good job convincing myself).

Don't lose hope yet, TripWillis! Cuddle up with your other great options and let them calm you haha. But seriously, congrats on those and not yet having rejections =) Edited February 15, 2012 by myriadways

I think, at best, I'm hoping for a Maryland waitlist, but we'll see. Seems like the e-mails that went out were pretty systematic...
myriadways Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 From the beginning of this I was convinced I would get in nowhere, so it's an incredibly unexpected roll, that's for sure. As haughty as it sounds, I don't want it to end here! Oh the greed of acceptances... As for Maryland, you never know, this process isn't completely predictable. If I were you (and if you think it's a good fit) I'd hope for Rutgers, they have an amazing funding package, and a pretty great faculty. I was going to apply but decided against it last minute. It would at least be a nice option to weigh against your other acceptances. (Or, there's always the infamous H!).

I too was hoping to at least go 1/10 or get a waitlist somewhere. When I went 3/3 last week, I was basically flabbergasted. I never envisioned having choices, so this is pretty weird for me. Now I'm totally disappointed if I don't get immediate emails or calls from notifying programs. The greed of acceptances indeed! At this point, I am really pulling hard for Rutgers and Tufts. They both have decent funding and are both an excellent fit. Tufts has a small and personal program with great gender and LGBT studies scholars. I'll take it since you didn't apply at Rutgers that I have a fighting shot.

Oh hardly, I am unwilling to consider all of this anything but a fluke.

Maybe we'll end up in the same program.

jma310 Posted February 15, 2012 Author Posted February 15, 2012 I just got a rejection from the grad coordinator, in response to an email I sent. She said they're in the process of sending decisions this week. From what I infer it's either waitlist or rejection from here on out
TripWillis Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Hoping for a waitlist... Sorry to hear you're out, jma.
jma310 Posted February 15, 2012 Author Posted February 15, 2012 Thanks trip, it was a poor fit. Hoping for rutgers, BC or Brandeis
sci1 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) I still haven't heard anything from them... safe to assume it's a rejection at this point? Edited February 17, 2012 by sci1

I'm not sure... I've heard they have a strange waitlist system where they don't notify everyone on it at once, but rather as their first choice candidates accept offers elsewhere. Of course, I might just be holding onto false hope by now!

Of course, I might just be holding onto false hope by now! I was waitlisted at UMD last year (notified on 2/21/11). I had assumed it was a straight rejection until I got that wait list e-mail. In other words, don't give up hope quite yet.
jma310 Posted February 17, 2012 Author Posted February 17, 2012 I don't trust any of these schools. I was told by the grad coordinator that I wasnt offered admission, but I don't even underestimate the fact that they could still have you on a backburner and a waitlist could turn up. One of my profs who went to Duke was rejected outright by an official letter and then accepted a few weeks later...

TripWillis Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 I'm convinced that I'll get my waitlist e-mail on Monday or Tuesday.
