patientagony Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I'm wait listed at Minnesota! I'm surprised and humbled. I don't deserve this especially when I see people on this forum with greater acuity than my little self. Congrats Porridge!! Don't put yourself down either, try and enjoy it =) mostlytoasty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatjewishgirl Posted February 20, 2013 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minnesota actually has interest-specific wait lists, to the best of my understanding. New media poetics and 21st century poetry and its intersections with gender and sexuality. I've just posted my stats on the results board - with a confession of errors in my writing sample. ErnestPWorrell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ategenos Posted February 20, 2013 Share 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!

Definitely pulling for your acceptance to materialize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazedandbemused Posted February 20, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Espressos Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I don't know what just happened, but I got emailed today that I've been accepted off of the waitlist at UNC! 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!

It's (Not) About Me Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 New band name! I call it! Looooool, that was awesome. I would listen to this band. 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! Woohoo, congratulations! Especially since it is one of your favorites--that's awesome! 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! Awww, that's a nice, warm, fuzzy feeling. If that's the way you see it, it means you're probably a nice, warm, fuzzy(?) person--not a weird (or bad) thing to be at all. I'm psyched to be accepted off of a waitlist and I hope lots of other people can be too! 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? Thank you, and I PM'd you! I really hope they come through for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueberryscone Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Dazed and patientagony, why are you both assuming UVA rejections? I haven't seen anything from Virginia on the boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazedandbemused Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Awww, that's a nice, warm, fuzzy feeling. If that's the way you see it, it means you're probably a nice, warm, fuzzy(?) person--not a weird (or bad) thing to be at all. I'm psyched to be accepted off of a waitlist and I hope lots of other people can be too! Alas, not a warm fuzzy person in real life (I am friendly though!). Something about apps makes me feel all "united we stand, divided we fall." Solidarity! Dazed and patientagony, why are you both assuming UVA rejections? I haven't seen anything from Virginia on the boards. Virginia had about five acceptances in the first week of February, so I've assumed I'm not getting one. I think they might have been phone calls.

blueberryscone Posted February 21, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Whistler Posted February 21, 2013 Share 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.

asleepawake Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share 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.
