GreenePony Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Also, I'd like to add that i believe rejection letters should be polite. The one rejection letter I received this week included one particular sentence that i found to be kind of mean: "Your academic record was not competitive with that of other applicants to this department." Did they really have to rub it in and tell me that not only did I not get accepted but that I didn't even have a shot? That's kind of cruel. That is just evil.
hurricane0218 Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Final few days of February are among us. I didn't think it would ever end.. Hope I hear something within the next few days, even if it's a rejection.

Hope. Feathers. Insanity. Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 I don't know. There is a sad sort of relief when you get that first rejection. It's like, well, at least I didn't just imagine sending in all those applications. Somebody got them. ...even if they don't want me.

If im going to get rejected I would prefer to hear sooner than later, so that I can be sad and then move on..the silence is the worst.
iandunham Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 It's incredibly worrisome to see that some people have been waitlisted, others accepted, and I haven't heard a thing.
sansao Posted February 27, 2012 Author Posted February 27, 2012 Idk, I'll still take the silence, at least until I get an admission somewhere. I'd rather deal with the rejections once the semester is almost over.
Angela Tan Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Totally agree, I've been waiting , the only thing i got on Feb 1st was a rejection from U Penn. Tormenting>_<
