PhDhopeful2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Maybe UNC will finish its accepts today, rejects by Friday. I had been thinking UNC was done with acceptances... Do you really think there will be more? (I.e. any reason to hope?!)
pingsmile Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 I emailed UMD and was told: They are in the process of making decisions. No news yet. Thank you for your patience. So I guess those who have not heard from UMD including myself still have hope...
TakeMyCoffeeBlack Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 I had been thinking UNC was done with acceptances... Do you really think there will be more? (I.e. any reason to hope?!) Well it looks like in past years they offer admissions right up until the rejection letters go out. So far people have heard through unofficial channels - e.g. POIs - so its possible that some people just hadn't received a letter from a POI, or their POI just hasn't gotten to it yet.
zzzzzz Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 aha just received my MIT rejection email from "xxx@mit.com."
CGMJ Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 aha just received my MIT rejection email from "xxx@mit.com." me too; not a huge surprise.
TTP25 Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 MIT reject as well. I'm bummed, I felt it was the strongest fit.
Tupamaros Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 MIT reject, from the same odd email address.
Quigley Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Sorry to everyone getting bad news this morning. Even with acceptances in hand, it never feels particularly good, does it?
Wemayet Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) Dear Mr. Apply Yourself, I know you're just a system, you can't help what you are. I have friends that are systems; the hydrologic cycle, I'm rather fond of my computer system, and I occassionally hear a System of the Down song that I like. However, Mr. Yourself, sir, if I ever have the opportunity, I will throttle the existence out of you with my bare hands. Having informed me at 7a on Monday that my status has changed, and as of now not informed me in what why my status has changed, you have caused me an estimated four dozen minor heart attacks in the last two days, four hours and twenty eight minutes. You sir are cruel, and for that, I shall throttle you. Warmest regards, Your Nemesis P.S. My condolences to the victims of the MIT blood bath.

alittlebitofluck Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 May all those rejected by MIT shortly receive good news elsewhere.
zzzzzz Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 not too upset about MIT because it wasn't a great fit, but I'm just annoyed that the results page that was so lovely and green for some time has now taken on a much more ominous shade. RiffRam, alittlebitofluck and PhDhopeful2013 3
scanthiliad Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 rejected by MIT as well. it was a poor fit and i wasn't even sure why i applied so i guess im not surprised or too bothered. gotta say though, self esteem is going down as my dream schools are coming up soon and quickly starting to feel like im not qualified for anything. on that note, any insider info on yale?
RiffRam Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 not too upset about MIT because it wasn't a great fit, but I'm just annoyed that the results page that was so lovely and green for some time has now taken on a much more ominous shade. I was enjoying the green on the results page as well. Hopefully we can get some better news later today to get it back in shape!
PoliSwede Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 MIT is causing a bloodbath today. Sorry ya'll.
PhDhopeful2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 In at BU!! so thrilled and relieved... was beginning to lose hope. That pesky MIT rejection that followed shortly after didn’t hurt a bit!
frankentheory Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Also, as an aside, to those who have heard from McGill: has your status changed in Minerva? Yes. My status is now "Admitted Pending Final Results."
Quigley Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Congrats! Glad you finally got one! PhDhopeful2013 1
