Julianne Pigoon Posted February 20, 2012 Author Posted February 20, 2012 I almost did that so many times. My SoP was way too vague in regard to schools. I was way to frazzled to tailor every single one I sent out, so I just changed the school name. Reading that others were very specific even with faculty makes me think that my vagueness is more of a faux pas than accidentally copying in the wrong name. I think you'll be okay, shit like that happens.
Tinoply Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I see they've started notifying Comp Lit . . . maybe we're next??
ekant Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I really, really, really hope so. I'm super antsy about UOregon. It is by far and above my top choice. Give us some words, Oregon!
Tinoply Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I caved in yesterday and emailed asking if they had some kind of timeline, and I haven't heard anything in response, which happened when I contacted UCLA. They notified acceptances within a day or two of my inquiry, so maybe, possibly, hopefully, dear God PLEASE, UO will be notifying soon. I hope my convoluted logic holds up.
ekant Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 You're convoluted logic completely holds up. I caved and emailed UOregon on Saturday asking about a timeline. I'm assuming the administrative assistant was off yesterday for President's Day, thus not replying to inquiries. Fingers crossed. Hoping. Waiting.
Tinoply Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Man, I hadn't thought of President's Day being a factor. My university doesn't ever get days off like that, so it completely slipped my mind.
ekant Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Mine doesn't either. I had class yesterday, but the administrative offices were closed I think.
Tinoply Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 This is somewhat off topic, but I've noticed we share pretty much identical interests (and four schools). Knowing that someone else out there is interested in the same fields gives me this warm, fuzzy feeling inside. It's like validation for my life choices.
Julianne Pigoon Posted February 21, 2012 Author Posted February 21, 2012 Last year they sent out a bunch of rejections on Feb 25, then a bunch of acceptances early to middle March. I think they're just hard-chillin' broskis. West Coast is Best Coast, man.

jamie_w Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 @Julianne--the RI image = amazing--what I wouldn't give for an awful awful right now. I'm also still waiting for decisions from all of my West Coast shools. Best of luck, everyone!
ekant Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 My heart literally just stopped as my phone started ringing, the call being from a number in Oregon. It was a credit card solicitation company. Oy vey.
Winston Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Hi guys! Oregon was my first choice as well. Seems like there's not too many of us out there... Such a great school and such a lovely location, although after this morning's result board, well, I refresh my email every three minutes and start losing hope. Anyone wants to claim that acceptance?
ekant Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Hey! That acceptance is for comp. lit... Ohhhh... You got me REALLY nervous... You're doing comp. lit! I'm doing just English... I got scared. No English up on the board yet thank god.
Tinoply Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I heard back from them, and they're hoping to start notifying in early March. Let the waiting resume . . .
skybythelight Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I don't like that "hoping to" they threw in there.
lyonessrampant Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Last year in response to an email I sent, I was told I was accepted March 2, but the official email of acceptance with details about funding and all that didn't come until March 10. I think this is pretty typical of their time frame, so you all have some time, I think. Good luck!
ekant Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Lol, they didn't e-mail me back. I have a feeling their administrative assistant isn't a fan of me. I've e-mailed a few times in the past but haven't gotten many responses.
Winston Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Hey! That acceptance is for comp. lit... Ohhhh... You got me REALLY nervous... You're doing comp. lit! I'm doing just English... I got scared. No English up on the board yet thank god. Just English? Sometimes I wish I was doing just English... Damn you subject GRE!
Tinoply Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Lol, they didn't e-mail me back. I have a feeling their administrative assistant isn't a fan of me. I've e-mailed a few times in the past but haven't gotten many responses. Ha, this is exactly what I was thinking all day while waiting for the email to come.
skybythelight Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I've been totally annoying all of my contact people at various schools these days, and they've been surprisingly unannoyed and helpful, Mike Stamm included (if that's who you've been writing).

People haven't been annoyed (or unannoyed), they just haven't been responding. I respect it, though, because I'm sure they get a thousand e-mails a day about this stuff. My professor went to UOregon for her PhD and she told me today to not e-mail the admin. assistants or any professors at this point; it might be best to leave them alone haha.
ekant Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 LOL @ answer from Mr. Stamm. I like this guy. Concise. No bullshit: "Early March, we hope— Michael"
Julianne Pigoon Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 "we hope" sounds like bullshit to me.
