bluecheese Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I wonder if that's it for Duke? There were only a three acceptances (and no waitlists) posted last year on the board.
slvitale Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I wonder if that's it for Duke? There were only a three acceptances (and no waitlists) posted last year on the board. Is it just horrible luck that none of the admits are on Grad Cafe? Leaving us in the dark!!!
88literatureguy88 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Duke is confusing me. I didn't see any Duke English acceptances, but I did see three waitlists on the results board. Why the total silence on rejections/acceptances? Doesn't seem normal...
cbttcher Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 So... I guess that's a no for me from NYU, huh... Phone! Why don't you ring?!
ProfLorax Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I know what I will be doing to distract myself from my empty inbox... ACADEMIC TIM GUN. Two Espressos, 1Q84, cbttcher and 10 others 13
happygreengrass Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Eep. Anyone else feeling irrationally impatient since we passed the 1st of February? I keep looking at the previous year's dates and wondering why there's so little activity right now. Then I fantasize about careers of academic hotness, and realistic alternatives like working at a used bookstore for $8 an hour. The inside of my brain looks like an indie web comic.
sebastiansteddy Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I still haven't heard anything from any of my schools. Anyone else in this position?

Then I fantasize about careers of academic hotness, and realistic alternatives like working at a used bookstore for $8 an hour. The inside of my brain looks like an indie web comic. Yes! I was doing fine, but then the 1st passed and it was like the anxiety/stress switch inside of me was turned to maximum capacity. I still haven't heard anything from any of my schools. Anyone else in this position? Also, yes. I haven't heard so much as a whisper. It's kind of unnerving.
ProfLorax Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I still haven't heard anything from any of my schools. Anyone else in this position? I haven't heard anything yet, either. But it's still really early! Only one of my schools has done any notifying (Ohio State), so I am remaining optimistic. That being said, I am planning on a high level of crazy come February 15 if I still don't hear anything.
dazedandbemused Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Yeah, the crazy will definitely be held under control until AT LEAST the 15th.
practical cat Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I still haven't heard anything from any of my schools. Anyone else in this position?Me. It's hard to remember that it's actually still really early.
Katia_chan Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I still haven't heard anything from any of my schools. Anyone else in this position? I haven't either. And there is a possibility that 3 of my schools have started notifying (I say "possibility" because it seems way too early for one of them, so I'm suspicious/delusional). I actually had to stop going to the results page altogether, and only allow myself to come to the forum once every day or two, because the waiting was driving me into emotional breakdowns. But I'm living in hope until someone comes along to crack my bubble. Implicit rejections can screw themselves--if I haven't seen the rejection letter, it aint true *puts fingers in ears* ProfLorax 1
TripWillis Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Remember that if things don't work out for you guys, you have options. Take a cue from my man Kai, here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=4Y7i1ASCS5o asleepawake 1
Swagato Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Would like to pile on to the "really early but feels so far along" group. I've only had one confirmed rejection, and it is still quite early for the vast majority of my other 12 targets. Still, as February 5 comes on, I'm going nuts.
Two Espressos Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I still haven't heard anything from any of my schools. Anyone else in this position? Me! I have three to four implicit rejections but no solid responses. It's maddening.

t1racyjacks Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) <p>I don't even have any informing yet. I really hope Berkeley informs this week. I am just so tired of waiting -- whatever the result is it can't be changed now <img class="bbc_emoticon" src="http://forum.thegradcafe.com/public/style_emoticons/default/mellow.png title=":mellow:" /></p> <p> </p> <p>Results: Edited February 5, 2013 by t1racyjacks
sebastiansteddy Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Me! I have three to four implicit rejections but no solid responses. It's maddening. I think NYU is my only implicit rejection so far. I haven't heard from OSU yet, and I'm hoping there's reason to keep hope there.
Troppman Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I think NYU is my only implicit rejection so far. I haven't heard from OSU yet, and I'm hoping there's reason to keep hope there. There is def good reason to keep hope for OSU
OctaviaButlerfan Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Back in 2010, I got a rejection that was postmarked February 5. Now, of course, I am expecting to get a rejection or acceptance any day now (probably a rejection) even though I know it doesn't really work that way.

The madness is slowly creeping in.
cicada123 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I'm extremely tired of waiting for WashU. My daily ritual is now to wake up in the morning, get on gradcafe with a cup of coffee, and then check my WashU status page twice. I should get up and immediately start reading for my thesis, not this.
cicada123 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Chicago results, oh crap! I hate waking up to find that there is a reason I'll be on the results board even more than usual today.
nada.am Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Chicago results, oh crap! I hate waking up to find that there is a reason I'll be on the results board even more than usual today. ahhhhhhhhhh....yeah, there's gonna be some anxiety in my world today.
