perrykm2 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 ...and there's my rejection. It was such a reach that I can't say I'm even disappointed. Best of luck to those still waiting. This is exactly how I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anxious_aspirant Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I had willed myself, since Jan 1, to forget I ever applied to Brown. Somehow, I thought this would be much healthier for me. Yet, this in no way mitigated the virtual panic attack upon getting that email/decision/rejection. [Now wishing I'd applied to more schools and been less whiny about exorbitant test/application fees.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripWillis Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 The sheer amount of rejections on the results board is kind of incredible. How many people applied here?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caitlee91 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 same three rejections, sigh We can drown in misery (and I don't drink, but I'm thinking alcohol) together! Well, there are still some schools left! Brown was my top choice (I've never entertained the possibility of getting into Yale all that much), so my new top choice is UCONN. Don't let me down CT. By the way, I love your avatar with all of my heart. Bridgewater's screening Muppets this Friday for students and I may need to go to cheer myself up.

At this point i'm hoping for Penn State, I knew Brown was a reach. Still holding out for BU, though...

perrykm2 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Someone needs to get the stats from Brown this year. 1000000 applicants for 5 spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veniente Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I wonder if they received more applications than usual due to the "The Marriage Plot"... Probably. Nothing like the smell of failure in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veniente Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 who wants to print a rejection? I'm going to collect all my rejections and turn them into a performance art project about failure in which I staple them to my body and then self-immolate while reciting Plath. starbelliedsneetch, LLajax, antecedent and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayo Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Oh my Jebus. 52 posts to the board so far - and still just the one acceptance. Mr Grimwig for GradCafe President. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripWillis Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I know. I'm starting to feel like I got rejected from Brown, and I didn't even apply there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 has anyone heard anything from the MA program? Last couple years the decisions came out around the same time but I haven't seen anything on the board for this year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJo55 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 It's pretty crazy that only one acceptance was posted to the board! Amid all the red rejections...congrats again to Mr. Grimwig, you really beat the odds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
