bdon19 Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Two acceptances up on the board. I'm gonna be checking my phone obsessively all day. Shiiiiiiiiiiiiit.
DorindaAfterThyrsis Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 It looks like last year all notifications went out on the same day (how very civilized of them!), so regardless of outcome we should all know soon. Of course, the results survey also indicates that they did e-mail (not phone) notifications last year, so the above statement could be irrelevant.
hanoverkontent Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Hi- sorry this is awkward- but did anyone who received a call catch who was doing the calling? I was on a public bus and could barely hear and am afraid was rude and want to write an email. Thanks
bigrelief Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 It's from Deborah Nord, who's the Director of Graduate Studies. I just got a voicemail, didn't actually speak with her. I wouldn't worry too much about having been on a bus--I played phone tag with another DGS about a week ago and ended up calling him back from the airport, which is not the quietest place to have a conversation. He was pretty cheerful about it.
TripWillis Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Congratulations, hanover! Congrats you guys! That's great!
Earl Grey Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Congratulations to those accepted!!! May I ask what your areas of interest are?
bigrelief Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 I've studied mostly modernism through undergrad, but want to expand back a bit into 19th century British. I'm really, really thrilled to be in! Especially after the Brown and Columbia notifications...
veniente Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Big congrats to all those accepted! My cellphone just rang and I thought that I might be shaping up to join you, then I heard my mum's voice.
bdon19 Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 Obviously Princeton misplaced my phone number, and they're desperately trying to find it before leaving the office for the day.
hanoverkontent Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Thanks Trip, Stately, and Earl Grey! My areas of interest are the long 18th c. and poetics.
Mr Grimwig Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Congratulations, all you Princeton people!
veniente Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) Just typed this "princeton english applications" into google. What's with the Propecia shit? Edited February 23, 2012 by arrivant
petitespoir Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Have you guys gotten the official funding offer yet?
ComeBackZinc Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Just typed this "princeton english applications" into google. What's with the Propecia shit? Ha! A little search engine optimization perhaps?
Clifford2 Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Funding is around 28k for the first year...
petitespoir Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Hm, I missed the phone call and haven't received any emails yet! Excited to hear the details soon, hopefully
Mr Grimwig Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Rejected via email. Looks like the results board's lighting up.
petitespoir Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Sorry to those rejected--I wasn't admitted to Columbia, if it's any consolation! For those admitted, I still haven't received an email with the visit dates or stipend information. Have I missed an email, or is this the same for everyone else?
hiphopanonymous Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Is it ridiculous to be excited about being waitlisted? Anybody know anything about how Princeton's waitlist works? Big congrats to those admitted.
bdon19 Posted February 23, 2012 Author Posted February 23, 2012 Is it ridiculous to be excited about being waitlisted? Anybody know anything about how Princeton's waitlist works? Big congrats to those admitted. Not at all! I'd be over the moon. *Sigh, I knew it was a longshot, anyway.
hiphopanonymous Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Thanks, bdon. Sorry you didn't get the news you were looking for.
