Acceptance Freakout Thread

[Two Espressos]

Hello! I got waitlisted at UNC, and nope, not specializing in Rhet/Comp. I hope you hear from them soon!

 

Yeah, unranked--I just noticed that when I was rereading the letter (so maybe I can't stop reading it... SO WHAT?). I really want to attend the Open House and methinks I'll just bite the bullet and book some tickets soon. That's if I can get my boss lady's permission to miss work. And if I can get my bank account to stop crying. I wish I knew whether any other schools are going to invite me to visit, and if so, when! But luckily the other schools I might hear from are a lot closer and would be easier to visit.

 

ANYWAY, fingers crossed for us both!   And maybe we'll even meet in March!

 

I do plan on attending the Open House, so I hope to meet you there!  I really want to meet bdon as well.

Look at you kickin' ass.  Nice!  Now you can decline your UNC acceptance and give one of us poor waitlisters a spot (just kidding... kind of).

I got into UC Riverside guys!!! I was not expecting this!!!!

 

I called them this morning when the check next to the box that says, "application is under review" mysteriously disappeared, and the grad secretary said, I'd know my status in a month or two, so I assumed that was an implicit rejection. I am in shock.

Thanks! i'm at work right now and I can't freak out formally, so I am taking to GC to express my feelings =)

 

I don't know when visiting day is yet, but yes! I live mere minutes from Riverside so it couldn't be more convenient.

[Troppman]

Congrats Y'aal!

You've got to be kidding me. I'm supposed to go on to New York to visit friends I haven't seen in two years that week!! I haven't booked tickets yet, but it's literally my only vacation time. Maybe I won't go to the welcome weekend and go another time instead. Ahhh!!!! Decision overload!!

i'm pretty sure they picked that day cos it coincides with (dis)junctions. i'm sure you could set up another time to visit.

Who's the second English acceptance at Harvard?

[patientagony]

i'm pretty sure they picked that day cos it coincides with (dis)junctions. i'm sure you could set up another time to visit.

 

I'll definitely visit one way or another =) So far my interactions with the campus have just been one informal visit in high school for prospective undergrads, and drinking with my best friend who did his undergrad at UCR, but I'd love to experience the real academic side of it.

 

BTW, there is excellent KBBQ in Riverside if you know where to find it.

Thanks! I am still a bit jealous of your Buffalo acceptance, but I am not gonna complain too much If I haven't told you congrats on that one before, then I'll say it now: CONGRATS on Buffalo!

[smilax]

Thanks everyone! So excited!

Generic, but really nice.

Thanks! I'm super excited about it and it still seems unreal. You've got Ohio State (where they definitely don't want me) and Rochester (where, given today, I'm thinking they also don't want me) and I've got Buffalo. All evens out, but there seems to be no logic to it that we can predict from our side!

Ain't that the truth! Today has been a pretty good day for a lot of people it seems, so congrats to everyone who heard positive news!

[ProfLorax]

I LOVE GOOD NEWS! Congrats, everyone!

 

 

On another note, are you all planning on visiting all of the schools you get into? Or will you narrow it down to your top choice(s) before you schedule visits?
