Victory Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 How common is it to receive an admission notice over the weekend? I can't help but check my email several hundred times a day even on saturday and sunday despite thinking it's probably fruitless.
pikatopia Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 I didn't think it was common and usually give myself a break with the obsessive email checking... but THEN I got an acceptance notification yesterday!! (checked it after Valentine's dinner and it was the BEST present ) So I would say...who knows what timeline these grad committees are on...keep hitting that send/receive button!
GirlattheHelm Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Not much hope for the weekend, I'm afraid. But in some sense I'm glad for it. I'm having heart problems just thinking about applications; so I consider the weekend as my shelter from having to abuse myself. Except for the fact that I'm new and now on this website... on a Sunday, no less.
Victory Posted February 15, 2009 Author Posted February 15, 2009 Girlatthehelm, we're applying to programs in the same department at Cornell. It's rare to see others on this board, so I get excited. You should check out cyburbia.org if you haven't already.
GirlattheHelm Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Ooo... Nifty!! I'll check it out. Yeah, I caught that you were applying to the Urban Planning program at Cornell too... Cornell is actually a long shot for me since my GRE scores are craptastic in their eyes. Everything else I've done is worth its weight in gold; just not my GRE's. So I figure I'm screwed - for the $70 dollars in an application fee and about $30 dollars in transcripts and paper. But my boss is a guru and well known big-wig within in the National Historic Preservation Act "world", so I'm hoping his clout, and the fact I'm his little prot
miratrix Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 I applied to one of your anthropology departments, too! Good luck
Tinyboss Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 I got an email last Sunday. It wasn't an acceptance, but they wanted to know a few things about me. They were definitely reviewing files that day. Probably the only time they can all get together!
ewurgler Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 got an acceptance email at 6:30 this morning--Best early morning treat EVER!!!!
Tinyboss Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 got an acceptance email at 6:30 this morning--Best early morning treat EVER!!!! Wow! Are you on the west coast? What timezone did the acceptance come from?
ewurgler Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 I am west coast, came from ETS, so 9:30am. But still, it was pretty fucking unexpected.
