waparys Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Oh god, they've started to notify. I'm going to be nervously checking my phone all day, never getting anything done... Seriously. I'm already expecting the worst.
Troppman Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 First news of the season: rejections... blah!
Two Espressos Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) Seriously. I'm already expecting the worst. I feel you. What if NYU calls today as well? I don't know if I could handle that. Then again, I need to get my rejections over with... Edited February 1, 2013 by Two Espressos

Two Espressos Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Two Espressos let's hold hands and pray to Beckett. +1 (I'm out of up-votes today.)
The Whistler Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 I feel you. What if NYU calls today as well? I don't know if I could handle that. Then again, I need to get my rejections over with... I'm waiting for both NW and NYU as well, I feel like I'm going to die. Oh dear, I'm so not going to get these two, what was I thinking?
practical cat Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Two Espressos let's hold hands and pray to Beckett.Think positively, you two! I believe in you both.I have, however, resigned myself to yet another weekend of silence.
asleepawake Posted February 1, 2013 Author Posted February 1, 2013 Congrats(ish?) Deadinthewater! I'm going to guess Iowa now that they have another acceptance up... Maybe they'll reject us over the phone! LOL. Troppman and Sursie 2
Deadinthewater Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Congrats(ish?) Deadinthewater! I'm going to guess Iowa now that they have another acceptance up... Thanks, and thanks for responses from other people. Won't be able to call the professor back until tomorrow, but it feels nice (really nice) to have a tentative acceptance to begin this process (even if it is from my last choice).

bluecheese Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) Last year was the earliest NYU has ever reported back. They could come at any time, but there is a chance that acceptances from them won't come until much later in the month (10th-20th). Edited February 1, 2013 by bluecheese
asleepawake Posted February 1, 2013 Author Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) To quote someone from last year, and a great pop icon of our time: "It's definitely not a Nashville party." Edited February 1, 2013 by asleepawake AurantiacaStella 1
NowMoreSerious Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 NYU results- where are they?Traditionally this has been a pretty big Friday, but so far I don't see much going on.
southernscholar Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 To quote someone from last year, and a great pop icon of our time: "It's definitely not a Nashville party." For me too. I thought I wouldn't care because they weren't even close to being my first choice, but since it is my first notification I can't help but think it is a sign of things to come.
Datatape Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 So even though I didn't apply to Vandy, you guys got me curious and I looked at the results page. Good Lord. I am so sorry, y'all. If it makes you feel any better, there are a couple of (married) profs in my department who both went to Vandy. One of my former Masters cohort asked one of them for a LOR to Vandy and she just sighed and said, "I'll write you a letter, but you should know I couldn't even get my own children in there." Trust me, it is probably not you - it's just one of those schools that nobody ever seems to get into. southernscholar 1
asleepawake Posted February 1, 2013 Author Posted February 1, 2013 For me too. I thought I wouldn't care because they weren't even close to being my first choice, but since it is my first notification I can't help but think it is a sign of things to come. I wouldn't say that! Vandy takes like 2%. I wouldn't take a rejection from a school of that caliber (or, really, from any school) as a reflection of any of your other chances. It's still super early!
waparys Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 I'm still hurtin' from the lack of phone call from Northwestern. Though it is almost 11pm here.
cbttcher Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 waparys, are you a student at the FU or at the Humboldt University? I'm just curious because I'm from Germany as well but I'm studying in Kiel.
asleepawake Posted February 1, 2013 Author Posted February 1, 2013 "I'll write you a letter, but you should know I couldn't even get my own children in there." This does make me feel slightly better. t1racyjacks 1
skybythelight Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 This does make me feel slightly better. Me too. Vanderbilt was a definite reach for me as well, but the first news being a rejection is not an awesome feeling.
waparys Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 waparys, are you a student at the FU or at the Humboldt University? I'm just curious because I'm from Germany as well but I'm studying in Kiel. Nope I don't study in Berlin. Have just been resident here for almost 10 years.
practical cat Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Oh, god. The results page, what a tragedy. I... Haven't received that email yet.
jrockford27 Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) Not to seem totally neurotic, but where in the alphabet are the people who have heard from Vandy so far? I'm trying to come up with any reason why I might not have gotten a rejection yet... other than, y'know, the good one. Last year they didn't send out rejections before acceptances. But it's weird that nobody has posted an acceptance yet if they've sent them out already. I feel like there's a hammer hanging over my head. Edited February 1, 2013 by jrockford27
asleepawake Posted February 1, 2013 Author Posted February 1, 2013 Oh, god. The results page, what a tragedy. I... Haven't received that email yet. PLEASE PLEASE get accepted so I can live through you. practical cat 1
