Welcome to the 2012-2013 cycle

[GopherGrad]

Can feel my chances for acceptance this year slipping away.

 

If it happens, remember the number of this cycle's admits that got canned everywhere their first time. Including me.

[PoliSwede]

Did anyone claim the Yale admit?

[scanthiliad]

oh whoa. more stanfords? will someone claim? 

 

sad sad day... no cornell, yale, or stanford... lets hope everyone hears some great news tomorrow.

 

[GopherGrad]

No one has claimed the Yale, nor the Stanfords and the Stanfords came by different methods. I wouldn't get too excited yet.

[RiffRam]

I agree with this. Until someone who has been posting on here for a while claims them, I always remain highly suspicious.

i will believe you for the sake of my hopes and dreams (and beauty sleep). happy valentines day all!

I'll open a bottle of wine for every rejection letter and I'll open a bottle of wine for every acceptance letter. Either way, I'll be drinking... 

[Quigley]

just one bottle?

[certaincertainties]

I'll open a bottle of wine for every rejection letter and I'll open a bottle of wine for every acceptance letter. Either way, I'll be drinking... 

 

I like this rationale. I've developed a healthy taste for single malt scotch thanks to this process.

[eponine997]

Ditto, except for 203. Actually, my mother just called me and I almost irrationally yelled at her because she wasn't Kalyvas or Sambanis.

 

Hilarious!  Sounds like something I would do.  Got a call from a weird area code the other day, it was a prerecorded telemarketer... I didn't even get to irrationally (or rationally) yell at them  

 

and thanks, i now I know what area code to look for...

[Wemayet]

Hogwarts? Defence Against the Dark Arts PhD? Notification via Owl? What a troll.... Ha!

 

Either that or this waiting game is seriously making many of us lose our minds.

 

What?  Did I miss that on the results board before being taken down?  Because, as far as trolling goes, that's not too bad.  I'm no Potter fanboy or anything, but Defence Against the Dark Arts?!?  By Owl?!?  <golf clap>

Dude, Wemayet. Have you also still not heard from Minn? When do we hear from Minn!? The website tells me nothing! It's driving me crazy. ):

[xcrunner]

I'll be serving tonight at a Real Ale Festival in the UK -  it will certainly be interesting if I get a phone call acceptance from a POI while serving beer!

[PoliSwede]

I'm ready. Sambanis can call any minute!

[ahandphd]

I'll open a bottle of wine for every rejection letter and I'll open a bottle of wine for every acceptance letter. Either way, I'll be drinking...

It might require more than a bottle...

[hopefully2013]

Ugh, no word from Stanford or Yale, but scanning my junk folder, I see I'm being heavily recruited by the University of Phoenix :-) I'll take what I can get!

[USCoregonian]

Can feel my chances for acceptance this year slipping away.

 

In the same boat. Already thinking ahead to next cycle.

[frankentheory]

To the Cornell admits today: any of you in theory subfield?

I second this question.  Any theory folk claim Cornell?  Congrats to those who got in, and best of luck to everyone today!

[MyUSofWhatever]

I'll open a bottle of wine for every rejection letter and I'll open a bottle of wine for every acceptance letter. Either way, I'll be drinking... 

 

Save some for me.

 

It looks like we applied to some of the same schools actually, so good luck!

[news2yous]

Do you guys think these are all of the Stanford acceptances?

[student90210]

Seriously? Stanford called someone at 6 am to let them know of their acceptance? Doubt it. 

[Mnemonics2]

Why six am? 

 

Hang on...just saw latest post. May just not have posted until this morning? It seems like the cluster of admits (if not trolling) was yesterday afternoon/evening.

 

Edit: I do suspect trolling though. Light the torches and grab pitchforks...?

[Tupamaros]

Well Stanford is already overdue, so I wouldn't dismiss it as trolling just yet

[runner12]

Yeah feeling really down seeing all of the Stanfords go up on the results board...

[Quigley]

Sigh.  Can someone please claim a Stanford admit already if they are legit?  

 

I wouldn't be surprised if the whole thing is related to someone having the guts to ask about Stanford admissions on PSJR yesterday:

So if it is a troll, I'm sure I speak for at least some others that you succeeded in causing the reaction you were probably hoping for, so good job.  You apparently also have no life.
