dazedandbemused Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 I think rejection letters might be my favorite literary genre. Especially the ones that go to great lengths to convince you that they desperately wanted to accept you, really they did, but they're just so poor! I mean come on, respect my intelligence, tell me no, and let me leave with my dignity. asleepawake, Taco Superior, nothingnew and 2 others 5
InHacSpeVivo Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Officially out at UPitt. It was nice of them to tell me on the rejection letter not to bother asking why they rejected me. They were one of the schools I was going to contact for feedback. Also, I'm now glad most of these are coming via e-mail. After getting nothing last Thursday, I got literally 10 pieces of mail today (two bills), most of which were dated 2/11 and 2/12. I'm fairly certain my mailman just picks random days to not work.
dazedandbemused Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Oy, USC is sending rejections by mail? Guess I'll be mildly worried about that until I get home at nine. It doesn't help that I'm 99% certain that I'm not getting half of my mail, and the half that I do get is almost always bent/ripped. Damn you, USPS!
thebeatgoeson Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Damn you, USPS! Careful there. Famous last words.

I received my USC rejection letter today, and I am pretty far from CA. I am happy with the acceptances I have, so I am not upset, but I am curious: has anyone been accepted there yet?

I am happy with the acceptances I have, so I am not upset, but I am curious: has anyone been accepted there yet?Yes, a regular poster here got accepted with Merit Scholarship a few days ago. I don't know if that person is keeping their acceptances a secret, but if they want I'm sure they'll respond. In other words, I think USC has started sending out acceptances, perhaps slowly. I'm waiting on them myself, so I'm with you on this one.

dazedandbemused Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 What is this "real life" you speak of? Ok, rephrase; "the physical world."

practical cat Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 I randomly visited the Buffalo status site for the first time in AAAAAGES (though it's actually on my chrome most visited page sad story) and it's changed again. Rejections are probably forthcoming. Shit, you guys.

practical cat Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Blast! Did it have your decision status? No, just a new, completely confusing category. I don't trust changes to the page. Especially when I don't understand them.
bfat Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 I looked again too, but I can't tell the difference... still says it hasn't been reviewed yet in 2 places though. On a similar note, I got my (expected) Pitt rejection today. Balls.

Two Espressos Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 No, just a new, completely confusing category. I don't trust changes to the page. Especially when I don't understand them. Basically, the Buffalo application status site is some kind of witchcraft. bfat and practical cat 2
Porridge Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Basically, the Buffalo application status site is some kind of witchcraft. It's strange, they've added that extra line...I wish they would hurry up and reject me.
Two Espressos Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Okay, so regarding the Buffalo status site, the section "application reviewed" is new, correct? They already had the "application status" section, which for me still says "not reviewed." What kind of redundancy is going on here?
Katia_chan Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) Does anyone remember when we used to be happy, positive, (relatively) mentally stable people, before applications turned us into severely unbalanced cynical shells of our former selves? I miss that me... She also knew how to use commas. Edited February 20, 2013 by Katia_chan InHacSpeVivo, collikl and It's (Not) About Me 3

thestage Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) I was never like that. You know, I just quoted that post to say the same thing before I noticed yours. So different and so alike, donthate. I think I've been called a "severely unbalanced cynical shell" since I was about eleven years old. Edited February 20, 2013 by thestage
