Acceptance Freakout Thread


Recommended Posts

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.

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?)

Preach it! Seriously, this grates on me as well, especially when the correction isn't really a correction. 

 

You are not alone!

Guilty as charged. My b. Sorry, y'all! Won't do it again.

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!

Thanks for giving them a call and posting this. Scary, though.

Also guilty. I don't expect to screw up again, though...

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!

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?

Thanks for doing/posting this. But, NEARLY? Seriously? Yikes.

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!

It was me! Thank you! :) It is a relief to know I have something concrete planned for September!

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 :P
