jma310 Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Looks like someone got rejected from BC already? Didn't know they'd notify so soon. Anyone else here?
transcendental Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 My heart stopped when I saw that. I'd love to go there!
hermia11 Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 I nearly fainted looking at that - it's one of my top choices and hadn't expected to hear anything just yet. I had searched the results board and it seems in past years BC notifications have been much, much later... I'M SO NERVOUS.
Grunty DaGnome Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 I wonder if that person applied to English Lit, because they mentioned in the comments they were interested in Library Science programs. Maybe it's a mistake?
hermia11 Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 I hoped it was a mistake too, Grunty DaGnome. But now there's another one posted. Let the "I Love Lucy"-style WAHHHHHHHHHs commence...
SeveredLetters Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 It's strange because there haven't been any acceptances yet.
transcendental Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Ahh, well I survived another day of not receiving a rejection letter in the mail. TripWillis 1
hermia11 Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 I didn't even go get the mail today. If I don't get the mail, I don't get a rejection. Win.
transcendental Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Just show up to BC on the start date with your mailbox and inbox exploding, assuming full funding. Maybe they'd feel so bad for us that they'd accept us even if we had been rejected. (The weird face is for Valentine's Day). wreckofthehope and Grunty DaGnome 2
jma310 Posted February 15, 2012 Author Posted February 15, 2012 anyone know anything about BC? i see a few rejections, but i'm sitting tight for now.
wreckofthehope Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Last year, my acceptance came on the exact day that they had gone out the previous year (23rd Feb) - I'd imagine a similar date for this year, although the earlier than usual rejections could suggest otherwise, I don't know...

Maybe they'd feel so bad for us that they'd accept us even if we had been rejected. (The weird face is for Valentine's Day). Are you in C19th American, transcendental?

A relief and not a relief simultaneously! transcendental 1
transcendental Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Are you in C19th American, transcendental? I am, yes! I'm interested in Early and 19th C. American lit, space/place, and epistemology. Thanks for your insight about the date, wreckofthehope. I had been going over the previous results postings trying to figure out what pattern there is. We have survived another day without a letter!
SeveredLetters Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Just received an e-mail letting me know I'm one of four on the waitlist. They had 200 applicants for 4 spots. Good luck!
jma310 Posted February 17, 2012 Author Posted February 17, 2012 Hi severedletters, congrats! Do you have any other info? It seems no one (at least on this forum) has been accepted yet...
jma310 Posted February 17, 2012 Author Posted February 17, 2012 In a similar vein, someone just posted an email rejection. Anyone wanna claim it? I didn't think rejections went out via email.
TripWillis Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Just received an e-mail letting me know I'm one of four on the waitlist. They had 200 applicants for 4 spots. Good luck! 4 spots???? Damn!
SeveredLetters Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 I don't have any other info, but I'm supposed to call the director of the program tomorrow, so I'll let you know what I learn.
transcendental Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Congrats, SeveredLetters! Ahhh, I am so curious now as to what's happening.
Grunty DaGnome Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 4 spots???? Damn! Yup, 4 spots, 1 Americanist.
Jbarks Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Just received an e-mail letting me know I'm one of four on the waitlist. They had 200 applicants for 4 spots. Good luck! For serious?! I almost applied to BC. Kind of glad I didn't now. Congrats on the waitlist, though!
TripWillis Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 I had heard something before about them having small cohorts. It wouldn't have been a good fit for me anyway -- BU is the place for African-Americanists (well, really Harvard is in that area, but whatevs).
jma310 Posted February 17, 2012 Author Posted February 17, 2012 anyone else hear anything from BC? i'm clutching onto some hope for this one...
hermia11 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 This notification process seems so random... Some rejections and some waitlisters, but no (posted) acceptances. Gah! jma - what's your area?
