Brown

i can't login, but i got the email so presumably, same fate.

...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.

[anxious_aspirant]

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.]

[TripWillis]

The sheer amount of rejections on the results board is kind of incredible. How many people applied here??

[caitlee91]

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.

Monday, bloody Monday.

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

I hope Jason Segel warms your grad-school dejected heart

Someone needs to get the stats from Brown this year. 1000000 applicants for 5 spots.

[veniente]

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.

confidence is at an

another brown "rejectee".

dont you find funny the print option?

who wants to print a rejection?

to burn it later?

[TryingAwfullyHard]

Monday, bloody Monday.

LOL. This made me laugh, which is hard to do right now. Thanks.

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.

For which you would earn a posthumous degree from Brown and a MacArthur Fellowship.

Rejected. Batting 0/5 now. Not looking up. I feel you for you, fellow rejectees!

painfully inspiring, comfortably numb, it sounds like fun! (and artistic, of course).

Don't get down yet: you only need one. You'll get there.

[Bayo]

Oh my Jebus. 52 posts to the board so far - and still just the one acceptance.

Mr Grimwig for GradCafe President.

[TripWillis]

I know. I'm starting to feel like I got rejected from Brown, and I didn't even apply there!

[Fitz2012]

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...

[JoJo55]

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!

[perrykm2]

I wonder if they are still sending out acceptances?
