Still, a lovely feeling to know that someone wants to work with you. Would you mind sharing your area of interest? Minnesota actually has interest-specific wait lists, to the best of my understanding.
thatjewishgirl Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Minnesota!!! They are killing me!! Someone put me out of my misery... I know someone whose status switched to "Decision Made" Monday and they were rejected today. Mine still says "awaiting program decision." I kind of want to email the DGS and beg them to tell me something. I'm going crazy!

Ategenos Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Congrats to all the acceptances today! I just got my acceptance to another one of my favourite programs (UConn). Admittedly, they seem to have admitted me into the PhD, as opposed to the MA/PhD, but I am hoping to get that sorted! ProfLorax and Conscia Fati 2

Definitely pulling for your acceptance to materialize.
dazedandbemused Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 This is probably really weird, but I think my favorite part about everyone getting so many acceptances is that in a few months, everyone will have chosen which one they'll go to and then there will be another flurry of awesome people getting off of waitlists. Happiness all around! mostlytoasty and downtherabbithole 2

Yesterday they'd said it would be a few weeks before I'd have an answer, but maybe a bunch of people with my same interests all just jumped the ship--if you're a person who gave up your spot, THANK YOU SO MUCH! I can't believe I'm actually going to grad school. So much for my productivity tonight! Congrats, of course. I really hope UNC sends me good news soon! What's your prospective subfield, if you don't mind my asking?

I'm psyched to be accepted off of a waitlist and I hope lots of other people can be too! On 2/20/2013 at 10:08 PM, Two Espressos said: So much for my productivity tonight! Congrats, of course.

blueberryscone Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Dazed and patientagony, why are you both assuming UVA rejections? I haven't seen anything from Virginia on the boards.

blueberryscone Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Oh, I see. I think I searched for "UVA" which for some reason didn't bring those up. Well, that's a bummer.

skybythelight Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Anyone want to claim the Rice acceptance on the board?
The Whistler Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Out from Minnesota as well. Four more rejections to get, and I can continue working on my next cycle. This will NEVER end. What's even worse, I'm not even sad. I'm just pissed off at myself for being a moron, and not understanding how this works. UGGH! Next year, at least 10 universities. At least.
thebeatgoeson Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Oh hey, rejection from Chapel Hill. Good morning to ya. HHEoS 1

asleepawake Posted February 21, 2013 Author Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) Congrats to HHEoS and all other recent acceptees! I just got my notification of acceptance at Lehigh. It's a bit of a small/unknown/rising program, but it's a very good fit, I think (and so do they)! There is no funding information yet, though. Edited February 21, 2013 by asleepawake
