waparys Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Guys, did any of us really want to live in Philadelphia though? "Blessing in disguise" Hey don't dismiss Philly. It has an amazing restaurant scene (some say better than New York). It's totally walkable and the people are very nice. Unlike New York. Aubergine and wreckofthehope 2

practical cat Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Guys, did any of us really want to live in Philadelphia though? "Blessing in disguise" ... Yes. I have been waiting all of my life to legitimately buy/wear a Cory Matthews red hat. Don't let me down, Penn. skybythelight, InHacSpeVivo and muchado 3
waparys Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 ... Yes. I have been waiting all of my life to legitimately buy/wear a Cory Matthews red hat. Don't let me down, Penn. I'm crossing my fingers for you, gwwg
The Whistler Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Guys, did any of us really want to live in Philadelphia though? "Blessing in disguise" What's wrong with Philadelphia? This is a serious question. My town (and I say town, but I really mean crappy town) doesn't even have a movie theater. Give me a library and a theater, and I'm happy. wreckofthehope 1
blueberryscone Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 I have turned into the world's least productive human. I have an entire book to copy-edit and all I can do is compulsively refresh like 5 tabs on gradcafe.

I have an entire book to copy-edit and all I can do is compulsively refresh like 5 tabs on gradcafe. Same here. My attention span has reached an all-time low and I'm supposed to finish reading The Human Condition by tomorrow morning...guess not.
waparys Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 I've completely resigned myself to the fact that I won't get in (for one very obvious reason) but I'd still like to know sooner rather than later. ErnestPWorrell 1
The Whistler Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) Me three (not productive), which is obvious, because I'm flooding the thread. Sorry for flooding the thread, but I talk (type) a lot when I'm nervous. It's 7 pm over here, my pilates class starts in 45 minutes, and all I do is f5 f5 f5 f5. Luckily, my work for today is done, otherwise it would be a disaster. Edited February 18, 2013 by The Whistler
DontHate Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 It's sad watching this thread. It's also sad that I am vicariously waiting for news, since I know my own news is so far off. Sad sad sad.
practical cat Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Did you apply to Penn, waparys or are you just speaking generally? Either way, I am rooting for you too! waparys 1
blueberryscone Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Mocha, my obese cat and that obese cat should be friends. Especially because right now, with the waiting, pouting, and stress-baking, I feel like an obese cat.
figsmcfigs Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 What's wrong with Philadelphia? This is a serious question. My town (and I say town, but I really mean crappy town) doesn't even have a movie theater. Give me a library and a theater, and I'm happy. I actually like Philadelphia, in certain ways... I much prefer their airport, for instance. I also love the Duck Tours The Whistler 1
It's (Not) About Me Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Lolz, I wish I could join you all in being nervous about U Penn, but I'm not holding out even the slightest bit of hope that I'll be accepted there. Nor do I really care. Whenever they get around to rejecting me, I'll take it with zero surprise. But aaahh, I REALLY hope that someone here gets good news, soon! I like sharing in other people's joy.
somer8077 Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Fib or no, that doesn't change the fact that at least one real person has gotten an acceptance..... I don't know if it was by phone call or not though, I should ask. But I feel like a weirdo since I've done that with at least 2 of their other acceptances lol. I'm claiming the Upenn acceptance -- I didn't get confused [i hope lol] --- I'm an international so the results came to me via email Super stoked, wish luck to all!!! Datatape, practical cat, pim and 2 others 5

pim Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Does anyone know generally around what time schools usually make calls? Like after work hours or during? I guess they're probably all different and there's no real answer to this. Sorry for being totally neurotic and transparent but that's how I feel right now, in rapidly increasing levels.

Congrats! Didn't mean to imply you were below average intelligence or anything MANY people constantly confuse both schools.
