Magical Realist Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 You will get into Wisconsin, Brandeis and Buffalo, get waitlisted at Vanderbilt, get rejected from Harvard, Rutgers, Berkeley, Brown, and Cornell. UPenn will never get back to you. I think she's wrong here. I agree with Brandeis, but my sources are saying Brown will also come through for you, Waitlist comes from Rutgers.and Wisconsin.

bfat Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Gifs are definitely one of the top 5 best things ever to happen to the internet. I'm kinda tempted to play this game, but I'm like 99% sure that I'd be placed in the "you fail at life!" category. Plus, I'm kinda feeling superstitious. What if the prediction becomes true because it was predicted?!? People be all DontHate and asleepawake 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waparys Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Okay I tried to post this yesterday but GradCafe was havin' NONE A THAT. (But seriously, I still can't post using my normal browser--it thinks all my posts are empty. Help?) Anyway, are GPAs considered absolute? As in: is a 4.00 from a poorly-ranked, little-known program better than a 3.5 at a top 10? Will it get plugged into a machine along with GRE scores to determine if you make the first cut? What about international programs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebastiansteddy Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Hmm, I'm not really interested in betting, but how about bribing? Someone assure me I'll get in somewhere, and I'll give you an upvote? Fair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfat Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 With 15 apps, I guarantee you will get in somewhere. sebastiansteddy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebastiansteddy Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Upvote, as promised. But I wish it were that simple! Of the 15, 4 or 5 are probably way beyond plausible acceptances. So it's really like I am applying to 10... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DontHate Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 Hmm. This isn't going to take my stress level down at all, but I'll buy in. GPA: 3.95 GRE: 169 V, 151 Q, 6.0 AW Undergrad Institution: well known public university Programs applied to: 1 Ivy, 1 elite public, my undergrad institution, Pitt, & Chicago My bet? I get into my undergrad institution. Miiiiiight get into the elite public school, if I'm really lucky. I bet you'll get in everywhere.

asleepawake Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 A few schools start in late January. Most notify in February and March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asleepawake Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 (edited) Ok, so I officially have so much to do that I can't do any of it. Instead, I've wasted my time doing this. At that link is a list with all/most programs and the first day they notified last year. This basic idea was stolen from something that was done for MFA programs when I applied to those a few years ago. I found it helpful and it meant I didn't have to constantly search the results board. Clearly, it's not at all done, but feel free to add to it. I'll continue to update as I get bored. Benefit from the the fruits of my anxiety.
