Sursie Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Wut up, muchado. Reckon we'll be meeting in Louisville in late Feb? Congrats and Cheers!
bluecheese Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 I just got news from the University of Louisville! I was not even remotely expecting good news from such a great school, but I'm so excited! Congrats!
muchado Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Wut up, muchado. Reckon we'll be meeting in Louisville in late Feb? Congrats and Cheers! Looks like it! Congrats to you as well. I'm definitely really excited about visiting the program and seeing Louisville. This will be my first time doing more than just driving through the city.
gradschoolwannabe Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Congrats on Louisville! I see that there's a post about UI Urbana's Masters, I assume they've made their offers?
damequixote Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 I think more offers from UofI are coming. This looks like an early notification / fellowship offer.
Imogene Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 So three things: 1. Wow, what an amazing set of acceptances already here -- congrats, y'all! I am in the "happy for you despite you're not me" crowd, for sure 2. UIUC MA acceptance up on the board -- any other notifications from Urbana-Champ yet? Any info on PhD news? 3. Am I the only one who is annoyed by people who post duplicate acceptance/rejection posts to "correct" an earlier post? Come on people, don't mess with the system. It's probably not necessary for you to add info there, but if so, please use "Other" for your 2nd post -- it screws with the scanning of # of notifications! (ok, pet peeve, but am I unreasonable about this?)

Laokoon Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 For the record, I called UW-Madison, and they confirmed that *nearly* all the admits have been notified. The rest of us will hear definitively very soon as to where we stand. Good luck all!

asleepawake Posted January 31, 2013 Author Posted January 31, 2013 Guilty as charged. My b. Sorry, y'all! Won't do it again. Also guilty. I don't expect to screw up again, though...
Imogene Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Also guilty. I don't expect to screw up again, though... Guilty as charged. My b. Sorry, y'all! Won't do it again. No hard feelings, Sursie and Asleepawake -- I can imagine the post-acceptance drunkenness causes you to do these kinds of things . First and foremost, congrats on your acceptances!
NicSinclair Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Does anyone have any idea why it takes so long for programs to inform a person of their failure? Clearly, several programs are admitting students right now, and I'm just wondering why those programs aren't as quick to let people know they have no shot. For instance, NYU; I imagine they've already called everyone they're going to call, but if the past two years are any indication, they won't send out "we hate you" emails until March. Seriously, does anyone know why they make people wait that long?

Imogene Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Can anyone claim the Delaware MA acceptance? Any additional info? Was that you who just reported the Delaware MA acceptance (Scotland MA and undergrad ivy . . . ?) I hope so! and if so, congrats! (I know it's not the Phd, but now you know it's NOT going to be a washout, no matter what!
slvitale Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Nothing from Duke yet!?!? Of course, I am making assumptions based on precedents from 2012
waparys Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Was that you who just reported the Delaware MA acceptance (Scotland MA and undergrad ivy . . . ?) I hope so! and if so, congrats! (I know it's not the Phd, but now you know it's NOT going to be a washout, no matter what! It was me! Thank you! It is a relief to know I have something concrete planned for September! gradschoolwannabe, practical cat, Datatape and 2 others 5
jrockford27 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Eerily quiet today. . . still a few hours of daylight left though.
waparys Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Congrats waparys! Thanks! I'm a bit shell-shocked to be honest. I've been telling myself this whole thing is a game of luck no matter how hard we try so I think I'd actually talked myself into believing I would be stuck in my "still buffering" (thanks Mindy Kaling) life for a bit longer. Things are looking up! Good luck to everyone still waiting. It has definitely begun to begin
sebastiansteddy Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 It was me! Thank you! It is a relief to know I have something concrete planned for September! Wow, congrats!!!
gradschoolwannabe Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Nothing from Duke yet!?!? Of course, I am making assumptions based on precedents from 2012 I know, I'm going crazy here waiting for the English PhD.
bluecheese Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 It was me! Thank you! It is a relief to know I have something concrete planned for September! Yay! Congrats!
HHEoS Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 It was me! Thank you! It is a relief to know I have something concrete planned for September! Congrats! That's awesome.
