Fiona Thunderpaws Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Yayayay! Aww best day for news ever at Grad cafe! I'm so happy for you both! Just a warning though, I will definitely be hitting you both up for SOP advice in a year I will help you edit if you want, and hand deliver your application to the DGS himself! I am so excited that we get to meet and to be part of the same cohort! Wow, I am Cloud 9 today! Yay, Thunderpaws!!!!!! I know!!! It's like a page out of some crazy grad school fairytale!!!! And judging by the people on TGC already going, the Fall 2012 class will be awesome!
GuateAmfeminist Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Yayayay! Aww best day for news ever at Grad cafe! I'm so happy for you both! Just a warning though, I will definitely be hitting you both up for SOP advice in a year I would be honored
antecedent Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 I would be honored Sunglasses to hide bad-assitude at getting into the best school ever! Hey, does this mean you're going to the same school as your SO? You were one of the brave ladies (gender assumption game!) navigating the two body problem, right? I really hope that works out for you too! I will help you edit if you want, and hand deliver your application to the DGS himself! Thanks guys! I love gradcafe - I never thought I'd bee so happy that two people I've never met got into grad school! MrBrooklyn 1
GuateAmfeminist Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Yes indeed, my SO and I both got into UT-A! We have been so lucky. The situation was reversed for us when we applied for TFA in the same region - I was accepted on 1st deadline and my SO didn't find out until May. So I guess it was karma that I had to feel the anxiety that he did, haha. Also, love your interpretation of the sunglasses, haha.
lyonessrampant Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Huge congrats to you both! I've been rooting for you and have a friend in the UTA program who is quite happy with it.
JeremiahParadise Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Congrats, all! So amazing to see so many acceptances this late in the game. Quick question, though: how big is the cohort at UT? And the wait list? Congrats again!!
antecedent Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Yes indeed, my SO and I both got into UT-A! We have been so lucky. The situation was reversed for us when we applied for TFA in the same region - I was accepted on 1st deadline and my SO didn't find out until May. So I guess it was karma that I had to feel the anxiety that he did, haha. Also, love your interpretation of the sunglasses, haha. Oh man, you guys win at the two body problem. TFA and grad school in the same city - that's got to be some kind of record! I think it will be a success for me if I manage getting accepted on the same continent as my SO, let alone the same coast, country, state, or school! I hadn't tried my hand at the sunglasses meme, so it was about time
marlowe Posted April 14, 2012 Posted April 14, 2012 Congrats to Guate and Fiona. I think I'll accept my offer right this moment. See y'all in Austin.
antecedent Posted April 14, 2012 Posted April 14, 2012 (edited) Congrats to Guate and Fiona. I think I'll accept my offer right this moment. See y'all in Austin. That's it. Officially best cohort ever. [edit]: Congrats Marlowe! I'm so pleased to see you at such a good place! Edited April 14, 2012 by antecedant

So I guess it was karma that I had to feel the anxiety that he did, haha. Also, love your interpretation of the sunglasses, haha. I got similar news yesterday. I'm still euphoric. I literally had to recheck my email this morning to make sure I hadn't been having a really elaborate dream. We're going to UT! Congrats to Guate and Fiona. I think I'll accept my offer right this moment. See y'all in Austin. Marlowe, so happy we'll be cohorts! I'm glad you picked Austin.
marlowe Posted April 14, 2012 Posted April 14, 2012 Marlowe, so happy we'll be cohorts! I'm glad you picked Austin. I'm glad you chose Austin, as well -- your decision most definitely helped me make my own. I look forward to many awesome years.
TripWillis Posted April 14, 2012 Posted April 14, 2012 Austin is making everyone's dreams come true this year. Crazy! Happy for you guys.
marlowe Posted April 14, 2012 Posted April 14, 2012 Austin is making everyone's dreams come true this year. Crazy! Happy for you guys. Haha, I got two LOL rejections from CUNY today.
TripWillis Posted April 14, 2012 Posted April 14, 2012 Haha, I got two LOL rejections from CUNY today. Really? Weird. What was LOL about them?
marlowe Posted April 14, 2012 Posted April 14, 2012 Really? Weird. What was LOL about them? Oh, just that they came today and that there were two of them. Nothing out of the ordinary, I suppose. Two Espressos 1
WendyMoira Posted April 14, 2012 Posted April 14, 2012 Austin is making everyone's dreams come true this year. Crazy! Happy for you guys. Couldn't say it better. I'm living in a grad student's fairy tale. UT is the kingdom far, far away, Dr. Lesser is my fairy godmother, and that's all the H-E-A I want.
Fiona Thunderpaws Posted April 14, 2012 Posted April 14, 2012 Marlowe--congratulations! So happy you'll be joining us! UTA is going to be awesome this Fall. Does UTA have the biggest number of GFers there thus far of all the places we've applied to, or is that my lingering UTA OCD just making it that way?
ComeBackZinc Posted April 14, 2012 Posted April 14, 2012 Congratulations to all! UT is such a great school.
WendyMoira Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 Definitely a lot of GFers, Thunderpaws. Anyone picked out potential classes yet? I know you've stalked the course lists. Or am I alone?
GuateAmfeminist Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 you are not alone :-) I love too many of them.
GuateAmfeminist Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 I am not sure if we only take grad classes or if we also take undergrad classes? For the grad classes, these are the classes I am interested in just from descriptions: World Literature and Globalism: Theory and Practice (think how cool it would be to use this to design a class!) British Cultural Studies, Lit and Film Chaucer Criticism and Theory (though I bet I'd need to brush up on Middle English) Victorian Triple Decker (after teaching and thoroughly enjoying A Tale of Two Cities this year, I have grown to like Victorian lit more) Borderland Narratives: The 1st Century Modernism and Its Discontents Black Subjectivity Orietalism and Imperialism Thoeries of Race and Ethnicity (though I wish it had more detail!)
Stately Plump Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 It worked guys, I'm in!!!!! Sorry this is late, but congratulations! I'd been pulling for you, Fiona! It's so exciting when people succeed on here
TripWillis Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 Man, UT Austin was like the get in off the waitlist school this year. Too awesome. Two Espressos 1
