Silent_G Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 So much for "shortly." Clearly the AdCom and I have a different interpretation of the word. Why couldn't they have said "soon"? It would still have been annoyingly vague, but it has a less immediate connotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripWillis Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Someone posted a rejection this morning. I checked my app and there is no decision posted yet. Hanging in there I guess! I wonder if this fits into my ludicrous theory about the e-mails... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TripWillis Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) Sorry to hear that, Seafoam. I'm still decisionless. Interesting. Make up your mind, Tufts! Edited February 10, 2012 by TripWillis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jma310 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Still decisionless here too! I had to wake up early for something and I'm deciding whether to go back to bed or to refresh the site haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grunty DaGnome Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 oh god don't even get me started thinking about Brown. Let's start a new thread called "don't think about Brown." I have to think that if I'm not in at CUNY I'm probably not in at Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jma310 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Has anyone actually gotten into Tufts? I'm still stuck in application purgatory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent_G Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Yeah, no decision for me either. And I'm home sick today, so I get to obsessively check every five minutes couple hours... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caitlee91 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 i did get the email though, and no decision! so weird. I got the e-mail as well, and no decision yet. I've decided that the reason why is that they are waiting to post online until it's more likely that I've received my acceptance packet in the mail...

lilybp Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Hi all! I have sources in the Tufts English Dept and I found out that they (the people who pick grad students), did NOT send that email. It is probably from the grad school, and it means NOTHING! General info: some people have been rejected, but most decisions on acceptance will be made in late Feb or early March; accepted candidates will hear by phone, and then will get a letter. Again, the email means NOTHING! Do not freak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wish I could fast forward to that point in time where I've heard back from at least one school. This waiting is driving me nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripWillis Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Oop, someone got an acceptance call today. Anyone want to claim that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jma310 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Not me, but hoping it was a early call bc of the fellowship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripWillis Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Not me, but hoping it was a early call bc of the fellowship. Yeah, it was a shock to me. I am not expecting any notice until at least 02/25. It'll be interesting to see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TripWillis Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Not me, but hoping it was a early call bc of the fellowship. After some results board investigation, it appears that whoever wins the provost fellowship always gets an early mid-february call. We will all have to wait until at least 02/25. HOWEVER, I also noted that Tufts does not usually reject this early; they usually don't reject until early March, so that makes me feel much better about the chances of those of us still in this thing. Hmm... well, okay, so I guess don't stay chained to your phone; we probably still won't know anything til 02/25. siiighhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jma310 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Maybe they had a ton of applicants and needed to get rid of some earlier?? Idk, but I haven't heard much from any schools besides not getting a TA interview at umass, which was my last choice, and waiting for a letter/telegram/noise from stony brook. I'm most curious about what's going on over at Maryland though.., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
