felicite Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Oh, geez. And I thought I was good for the day. Damn. Me too, I thought I was good for the weekend. Now I'm entering panic mode again. This mode involves very little work being done and refreshing pages every minute interrupted by daydreams of all the wonderful things computer hacking skills could do.

TripWillis Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Oh, geez. And I thought I was good for the day. Damn. Seriously. I was just about to take the weekend off and resume on Monday. Ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DorindaAfterThyrsis Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 They didn't even provide any notes in their posting......how the hell are we supposed to obsess and analyze without any notes?! So cruel...so cruel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cquin Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 And Monday is a holiday, so we're going to have to wait until TUESDAY now!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cquin Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Unless, of course, a benevolent Rutgers prof decides to call us all over the weekend to announce our acceptances...! Right, okay, I'm sick and I've had too much Sudafed. Back to bed with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Grey Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) Hi, I'm claiming the Rutgers post! Received a phone call this afternoon from a faculty member. More details to come... as in, that's all the information i have at the moment. the faculty member left a voicemail, so i didn't get a chance to ask about specific details.

girlmostlikely Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 When did you get the call? This isn't surprising as Rutgers normally calls on the weekend---last year they called on the 20th. Rutgers is such an awesome fit for me that if I don't get in I'll be so crushed. My work is on a relatively obscure part of 19th century studies, that Rutgers happens to be great for.

girlmostlikely Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Ah, that was me! Got a call from the director. Body imploding/exploding/all-the-ploding When was this?? I am going to tell myself that I have heard nothing because my names (both first and last) are at the end of the alphabet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolferine Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 When was this?? I am going to tell myself that I have heard nothing because my names (both first and last) are at the end of the alphabet. It was about an hour ago (East Coast).

woolferine Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Congrats, woolferine! Is that your first acceptance? Thanks! It is not by some crazy miracle, though I'm really excited by Rutgers program. This whole experience has been surreal and I recognize I'm in a very lucky position. I am sending good vibes to everyone on these boards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jma310 Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 It's an amazing place, for sure. My track record thus far precludes me from thinking an acceptance is plausible (3 rejects, 1 waitlist). What do you study, woolferine? My hunch is modernism...
