PoliSwede Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 In at UC Davis for IR. Congratulations! Apparently things are starting to happen now.
polisciftw Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Thanks, Lemeard. It's really exciting news for me.
PhDhopeful2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Does anyone know if UNC always does interviews? Or have they done them in recent years?
PhDhopeful2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 In at UC Davis for IR. Congrats! Things are moving...
TakeMyCoffeeBlack Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Does anyone know if UNC always does interviews? Or have they done them in recent years? No idea... I haven't heard anything - and I sure hope that's not bad news (though an interview is probably good).
Longtime Lurker Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Congrats to the Davis admits and UNC interview! We wish you the best.
shavasana Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Well, good. Now in addition to checking my email 40 times a day and rejecting phone calls from my parents to keep the line free for James Fearon I can start checking all my application websites on a rotating basis.He goes by Jim. [Not kidding.]...and Stanford isn't done making decisions, at least the last I heard. (That was last week.)
anxiousmike Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) ...and Stanford isn't done making decisions, at least the last I heard. (That was last week.) Eh, it's all conjecture. You know the profs barely know where they are in the admit process. Edited January 25, 2013 by anxiousmike
ThisGuyRiteHere Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Congrats to UNC and UC-Davis!!No news for meBut I did meet the Vice President and get to drive guests in his motorcade. So I guess thats ok
GopherGrad Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 He goes by Jim. [Not kidding.] ...and Stanford isn't done making decisions, at least the last I heard. (That was last week.) I'll keep that in mind for when he calls. Actually, I expect it to be Wienstein, anyway. I think I checked at some point and saw that Stanford send out results last year in second week of Feb. Not really holding my breath, I think it's more likely the neighbor kid will walk on the moon.

"Not really holding my breath, I think it's more likely the neighbor kid will walk on the moon." Beautifully put. I think that perfectly encapsulates how I feel about my prospects of receiving an acceptance from Cornell. I might borrow this expression . . .
alittlebitofluck Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Thanks! I'm the Davis acceptance, American subfield. I'm so excited to have one acceptance before the weekend, I can't even describe the wave of emotion and relief that came over me when I opened the e-mail and read "Congratulations...". I hope everyone else gets good news soon! In at UC Davis for IR. Congrats to you both! Davis seems to offer really good training, regardless of your specific subfield.
ThisGuyRiteHere Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Thinking about throwing one more app in before the Feb. 15 deadline at some schools...thoughts?
PDCU Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) Thinking about throwing one more app in before the Feb. 15 deadline at some schools...thoughts? Which schools? Edited January 26, 2013 by McMuffin
alittlebitofluck Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Thinking about throwing one more app in before the Feb. 15 deadline at some schools...thoughts? Well, the marginal cost of another app would clearly be low. Do you think any of the remaining programs would offer you either both a) a good fit or good training? If not, then it might be worthwile to sit tight, and wait for word from the other six programs to which you applied. While I understand the impulse to increase your chances of being admitted to any program, I would caution against it you have a particular interest in a late-deadline department.
balledematch Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Congrats to everyone who heard good news today! I'm in the UK and vowed to not check OSU until I got back home at ~midnight....still in review (sigh). Glad to hear that so many among us are getting off to such a great start at so many great schools. I'm sure it really takes the pressure off. I hope to join you lot soon.

I will tread carefully
dworkable Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Congratulations to everyone who has been accepted so far! And good luck to the rest of us, sitting through the weekend without emails. Upon reading this, take a deep breath.
ThisGuyRiteHere Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Found one..wow how did I miss this institution?
your humble servant Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Thank you for the congrats! It is still very very very early. The good stuff is yet to come my friends!
chaetzli Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) Yeah, this is now the "happy phase" where everyone is receiving acceptances . But soon the bloodshed will start (first wave of rejection letters) . I hope those who haven't received an acceptance yet will get good news soon! Edit: Congrats to the UNC admit! (Quigley, have you been admitted to UNC?) Edited January 26, 2013 by chaetzli
Quigley Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Yes, I'm the UNC admit as well. Thanks Got the email around 9pm Pacific / midnight Eastern on Friday evening.
chaetzli Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Yes, I'm the UNC admit as well. Thanks Got the email around 9pm Pacific / midnight Eastern on Friday evening. Yay... another one!! Amazing!
PhDhopeful2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Yes, I'm the UNC admit as well. Thanks Got the email around 9pm Pacific / midnight Eastern on Friday evening. You're on a roll!! Congratulations! Clearly your SOP was right on point Did you get the UNC email from a prof, or was it an auto-email? (Im guessing it was from a prof, but just checking...)
