DorindaAfterThyrsis Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Someone just posted a Harvard acceptance on the survey (claim POI phoned). This person was not me. First Rutgers, now this. I hate today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent_G Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Yeah, it wasn't me either. Though I wasn't expecting an acceptance call from Harvard, that's for sure. I'm curious to know if the call just came (6:00pm over there!) or if it just now got posted. Most likely the latter, but I can't help looking at my phone every few seconds. Just in case.

TripWillis Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I got a call from a (617) area code, but was just these two guys with haughty accents going, "Hey kid, this is what we think of your writing sample, old sport!" And spitting into the receiver. Someone else from the background yelled, "I concur! Poor form!" So yeah, I'm waiting on a call from here and Rutgers... aaaaany minute now.

DorindaAfterThyrsis Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 As much as I honestly and realistically didn't think Harvard or Rutgers (or Brown, or WUSTL, or UPenn, or Columbia) were/are a possibility for me, I still feel a little ill right now. Head and heart don't really agree much on this topic of Grad School probabilities, I'm afraid. Ouchie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TripWillis Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I don't even know what those things are.....that's how not-getting-into-Harvard I am. Farts. If you do get in and you go to some prospective student thing, do not miss any of those places. Especially Charlie's. Great jukebox, good selection of beers, an 11 dollar lobster roll (worth every penny), and awesome greasy cheeseburgers. Sub waffle fries. Yeah... oh man. If I get into ANY Boston school I am going back. ...except CUNY is amazing. So confused... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hanoverkontent Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 It was still there a few months ago- right there next to Felipe's double delightful burrito whammy! Damn it I should have applied to more school in Boston... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
