HigherEd2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I'm so excited! I just received my first ever acceptance today from UCLA! I hope everyone gets to experience that feeling this season . RandiZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suorange03 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Me too, suorange! I'm pretty excited about the acceptance but a little disappointed that the visit is just a day rather than a weekend. Still trying to figure out if I can attend. Congrats Loseric! Yes, I initially thought it was going to be two full days. I'm still going since it's one of my top schools and I'd like to meet the faculty and get a better feeling for the program. I was admitted as well suorange03 and am planning to attend the visit day. Congrats to you too Lauren00620. See you in Nashville! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ay761 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 If anyone goes to the open day at Vanderbilt and has any information they would like to share, it would be greatly appreciated (I can't go because I live overseas). I am also interested in getting in contact with current students, too. I got accepted to the International Education Policy and Management program. Thanks, and congrats to everyone!

EdNerd2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 I personally am freaking out now that it's officially February and I haven't heard anything yet...here's to hoping this anxious waiting ends soon! One of my program's said "very early February" for a decision timeline---which, as you can imagine, will not help with my productivity today... :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IdlerWheel Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Looks like Stanford has started accepting PhD students. Congratulations to those admitted... I'm a little bit worried now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmtrow Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Not sure if anyone else applied to Northwestern on here (haven't seen the name mentioned much), but I heard from them today via postal mail. My first acceptance and a really nice surprise! I submitted my application on 1/14 (the deadline) and the letter was sent on 1/23. What a turnaround time! I applied there as well! Haven't heard back yet, but I did receive the email saying they decide within 4 weeks, so that means I should have a decision by the 19th! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CQE Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I love how there's an option to share my rejection e-mail from stanford on facebook - Not to be a prlck, but that's kinda funny. lol Sorry for the bad news, though. I may feel the same pain come March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ay761 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 It's ok I got a good laugh out of it too. At least I know that faculty research interests weren't as good of a match there as they are at harvard and berkeley, but still... it makes me worry about my future prospects...

ashmoze Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Thanks, EdYouKateOr Judging by the timelines of previous years, I predict a lot of notifications will be going out this upcoming week. I feel like I'm going to break my email from checking it so often. EdYouKateOr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdYouKateOr Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Sometimes knowledge is too powerful. Before I found this site I was living happily in oblivion just wanting to know more about my program. Now, since finding the ominous "Results Search" and past year threads, I have amped up my crazy to foces on 2 specific weeks! Ignorance may have been bliss, but I wouldn't have all you comrades!

hmtrow Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I know I am driving my roommates and my fiance crazy with all of my obsessing. It's so great to have an outlet here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loseric Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Maybe I'm weird, but I've come to dread checking my email. The unpredictability of when some schools send out their decisions is what gets me. It's like you never know when there will be an admissions bomb hiding in your inbox! It's so nice to have an outlet here with people who understand what you're going through! Admissions anxiety loves company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edugy Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I know I am driving my roommates and my fiance crazy with all of my obsessing.

EdNerd2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Well---just got my first "official news" and it was a rejection. This process sucks. In some sense, I feel some relief to know SOMETHING, but...yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashmoze Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 They don't know what they're missing, EdNerd! I know exactly what you mean about how it's a relief to know something, but mostly it just sucks. I hope you get some good news soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
