zzzzzz Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 anyone else feeling left out? I've gotten no decisions yet, which I guess is a good thing for UCSD, but a bad thing for UCLA, Chicago, Duke and NYU!same. i kinda want to call ucsd.

brady Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Would Chicago send all of theirs in one email-ing? Seems like in the past they do most admissions on the same day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhDhopeful2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 same. i kinda want to call ucsd. I didn't apply there, so take this for what it's worth, but I would guess that the people who haven't heard anything are either admitted or strongly in contention, and the dept is just figuring out the funding packages. Since you haven't heard, I doubt there's any harm in calling or emailing to ask about your status, especially since you're likely in the "accepted" pile... just a thought!

GopherGrad Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I haven't heard anywhere and had applied at Duke, Chicago and UCSD (plus a bunch that haven't moved at all). I am also generally considering myself out at Duke and Chicago and at least close to the cusp at UCSD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmet Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Hey instead of everyone just checking their spam folders, could a Chicago admit just tell us the email address that sent their message? That way we could just add that address to an approved senders list. CGMJ, scanthiliad, ehdrums and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGMJ Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 LOL, just got really excited about a new email in spam folder...but I'm guessing U Chicago isn't trying to sell me "two smoking hot chicks in the pool".

setgree Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 i'm not sure it's kosher to post the email address online, but if there's some way to add the domain name @uchicago.edu, that would work I think. Also I'm IR at Chicago. I think if you check the survey results, a lot of info is up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGMJ Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 It may not be the same, but the email Chicago used when sending application confirmations (i.e., telling us our application was complete) was: admissions@ssd.uchicago.edu, but emails were sent via technolutions.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mogadishu Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Did Chicago sent out all of their acceptances today? Wonder if there's anyone who applied to Chicago but haven't heard from them yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wankerlust Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) Hey all-- another LTL here. I'm one of the Chicago admits (the one with hilariously uneven GRE scores, 170v/152q/3.5aw). My subfield is theory. I've pissed myself thrice today and I'm still not entirely certain this isn't all some sick, sick joke. Ah, good point setgree. Well, any and all are welcome to PM me for the Chicago email address in question. Also, if you're heartbroken, or nearing it: I can definitely attest to what we all already know is true-- namely, that this is an absurd game of (mostly) luck. Frankly, most of us were lucky to even be in a position to apply for grad school at all (all things considered). Doubt it counts for much, but still.

grantman Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Good Day Everyone, The first order of the day is my deep sorrow for those who have received rejects for the past couple of weeks. For those who have received more positive news all I can say is congratulations and I wish you the best of luck as you begin the next chapter of your life. To note the numbers of those viewing this post I find it sad that I check this forum every hour even though I did not apply anywhere. I think that speaks plenty about my life and how much time I have about my life. I hope everything goes well for all of you as you patiently wait to hear any news. All my best, -P Quigley and CautiouslyHopeful 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
