jrockford27 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) Girl with glasses, I wasn't paying attention to your sig that much until now. No wonder we have fairly similar school lists, our subfields are very similar heh. Though I'm surprised you aren't applying to Pitt. Are you applying to MCM at Brown? Also, I accidentally left my cell phone at home today. Driving me up the wall. Edited February 4, 2013 by jrockford27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazedandbemused Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Few things make a silent Monday worse than finding out that a first-time applicant from your undergrad institution has already been accepted somewhere. asleepawake and Troppman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asleepawake Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Wayne State could be a while, as they've sometimes notified in January and sometimes in like March. My online app still says "decision pending." I think Duke is coming very soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datatape Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Based on the results board, it appears today Nebraska is sending out acceptances for students who are waitlisted for funding and that they contacted their acceptances-with-funding over the phone this weekend.

(I ask in part because I'm really, really not.)No, just straight English at Brown (and everywhere, though I may rethink that should I need a Cycle 2 of this).

bfat Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Another whole day, and still NOTHING ('cept maybe some implicit rejections? Duke Lit and Buffalo, just come on already...). I'm beginning to feel like I not only will be rejected from everywhere I applied, but that no schools will even bother to tell me this, because my app was just that crappy. Pardon me while I go bang my head into the wall until I pass out. practical cat and Two Espressos 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleepyAlligator Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 With all this talk about implicit rejections, I was wondering if not hearing from Buffalo by this point constitutes one. If so, that is sorely disappointing, as my adviser said it would be a good safety for me. Here's to hoping that we'll all hear something from Duke, Chicago, etc. soon!

rems Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Has anyone else noticed subtle differences in your Buffalo status page? Like, there's suddenly a solid blue in the middle of the heading. That wasn't there this morning. Officially crazy at this point. Gwendolyn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzyd Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Well, my logic about today was that IF decisions for XYZ schools are already somewhat finalized, then we'd hear something today. Otherwise, if there's still decisions being made Monday wouldn't seem likely, just because there wouldn't be much done during peak hours, right? Oh why bother putting any logical sense into this process. This is much bigger than me, heh. Tomorrow... tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrockford27 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) The blue bar above the line that has "Status:" and "Acceptance Confirmed: NA"? That wasn't there before?

Though I haven't been on that one as much lately.Does the blue mean you're in?????ETA, oh that? Has that not been there? I have said this before (IN RELATION TO BUFFALO TOO) that I wish I had taken early screen shots of my status pages.

The blue probably means you've been approved for special deluxe funding! What else could it possibly mean?! A friend insists it's probably just a coding error that's caused the cells in the table to take on the same color as the background, but he hasn't researched this stuff like I have. ETA: Hey, a Notre Dame acceptance up. Not one of mine, but it's news, right? Edited February 4, 2013 by jrockford27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rems Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Please don't judge me for noticing this/being batshit crazy. I only noticed it because it used to be just two gray lines. I only noticed these two gray lines because they looked like a mistake in the code for the page, and figuring as how we're all marked for not having "letters of recommendation," I was thinking about how sloppy their admissions software is. So, yes, the line is new. And, yes, this line is absolutely significant. And, yes, I'm going to have to turn off my computer for the rest of the evening before I have an aneurysm. And, yes, I had to look up the spelling of "aneurysm." wreckofthehope, Two Espressos, dazedandbemused and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had my hopes up for lots of places, but I'm expecting a solid 7 rejections. The blue bar above the line that has "Status:" and "Acceptance Confirmed: NA"? That wasn't there before?

thepriorwalter Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Anyone remember if last year Michigan's English/Education PhD program notified on a different date than the straight English PhD program? Looks like there's an acceptance up on the results board (for English and Education--major congratulations!) and I'm now officially freaking out. Mich is my top choice. This was supposed to be my week to worry about Pitt and Chicago. MICHIGAN WORRIES WERE SUPPOSED TO COME MUCH, MUCH LATER. D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazedandbemused Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 There don't seem to be any English and Education results on the board from last year, but it looks like Michigan consistently sends out acceptances in the second and third week of February, so between the 10th and 20th. I have a friend who applied for the English/Ed program though, so that post definitely raised my hopes for her getting news soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
