Deadinthewater Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 I don't think DontHate applied in English.
Two Espressos Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 @Two Expressos, I would be seriously surprised it you didn't get in anywhere -- keep your hopes up until you know it's over! Thanks, I'll try! Why would you be seriously surprised if I don't get in anywhere, though? Lolz, I wish I could join you all in being nervous about U Penn, but I'm not holding out even the slightest bit of hope that I'll be accepted there. Nor do I really care. Whenever they get around to rejecting me, I'll take it with zero surprise. But aaahh, I REALLY hope that someone here gets good news, soon! I like sharing in other people's joy. This. I'm totally cool with my impending UPenn rejection. They got over 600 applications this year, it's an Ivy league school, and I'm not Ivy league material, haha. I am, however, extremely worried about my last program...
lovinliterature Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Hey, guys. I have a question: if you are waitlisted, and ultimately accepted, can you negotiate funding at all? Or can you not because you were only waitlisted in the first place? I've been waitlisted at a school that I really like, but I have an outright acceptance at another school that's quite a bit more lucrative. If I do get accepted at the other school, do I have a chance of negotiating a better financial package?

If you were finally accepted some time after April 15, for example, you are probably not as likely to negotiate for better funding if you were accepted much earlier than that, I imagine.

This seems likely... but you can still try....

ProfLorax Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Just got an email from one of the professors I mentioned in my SoP for UIUC. She wants to "entice" me to accept the offer, and she complimented a specific part of my writing sample. It's like getting accepted all over again. muchado, damequixote, lisajay and 2 others 5

Troppman Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) I keep rereading this e-mail. I've been accepted to my top choice with a seriously amazing funding offer. I'm supposed to call tomorrow, wow. I thought that this season was going to be a learning experience and a choice between a poorly funded program and a round two. It really isn't over until its over! They even made a bunch of references to my papers in the offer; they love me, they really love me... Edited February 19, 2013 by StephanieDelacour bfat, Porridge, bluecheese and 6 others 9

poetsandwriters Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Can anyone claim the Columbia acceptance? And if you can, was it a personalized email or a mass one? This seems like a sign that they are finished making their decisions, in which case I just want to know if not getting that email equates to being rejected. I posted the Columbia acceptance! (I feel a little shy about these boards, but I'm definitely a lurker.) It was a pretty generic email from Alan Stewart, the DGS, but he CCed the professor I am most interested in working with, who then emailed me a few minutes later with a much more personalized email. So... somewhere in between the two? I'm sorry, I honestly don't know if they're finished notifying or not. If I had to guess, I would say no, since there aren't a lot of posts up yet, and I know they're a pretty big program. Best of luck, everyone!! (I applied to Cornell, Berkeley, Chicago, and Virginia too, and watched all of those acceptances go up without hearing a peep... I was pretty convinced I was out of the running until today!) practical cat, CodeBlue, Porridge and 7 others 9 1
Porridge Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) Okay, why is there a limit on upvotes and no limit on the downvotes? ETS: I owe Proflorax one upvote. Edited February 19, 2013 by Porridge
pim Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Can someone claim the latest UPenn acceptance, the one via phone from the DGS? Like what time was the call? I don't know, give me anything! Nervous breakdown ensuing over here.
