jazzyd Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 AWESOME!!!! (I'm still going to Brown... it's a better fit for me... so I'll take myself off the waitlist -- but I'm so happy for you Bfat... I hope you get in!!!) Will you be at the visiting days? Hopefully I'll see you there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's (Not) About Me Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Chapel Hill is a gloriously progressive town (as are many of the cities in NC) full of hip, delicious restaurants that definitely cater to veggies/vegans. You might want to look into living in Carrboro (which is contiguous with Chapel Hill but more hipster/hippy/funky than fratty). If you end up there, you'll also want to venture to Durham for yummy local veggie friendly options. And deeeeefinitely get up to Asheville for a long weekend sometime if you're living in NC. And do you like microbrews? Because North Carolina has the most best local breweries in nation and quite possibly... the WORLD. And way less expensive than up north! Cheers! WELP, this basically sounds heavenly! Now I'm even more excited to visit! I've been wondering whether a diehard liberal like me can cut it in the South, but I figured/hoped I'd find that the university is in a nice liberal bubble. That I can handle. Gaaah, I still can't believe I'm gonna be moving to a completely new city (and state)! So many things to explore! Totally concur with this. Just moved away from NC after 7 years and I am definitely missing the wide array of excellent choices around the state! (As a midwesterner at heart, though, the east coast BBQ does leave something to be desired...just saying.) This is really, really great to hear. I feel like I've been spoiled by living in Chicago for the past ~5 years. I forget that not all cities have virtually every kind of world cuisine available around the clock. In NC I've only ever visited Charlotte for a couple of days (and for a wedding, so very little sightseeing went on), but Chapel Hill looks great! What area were you in? Congrats on being waitlisted, GWWG! I was actually rejected from Wisconsin-Madison, like It's (Not) About Me. I guess I made some of the initial cuts, but finally got knocked out of the running. But yeah, my UNC news earlier this week completely obliterated any pain the Madison rejection could have caused. Yeah, I thought for sure I'd been waitlisted at Wisconsin-Madison! Oh well. To be honest, it was probably at the bottom of my list, though of course I would have loved to attend were I offered admission. I'm intimately familiar with the "take a shower because it's the only way I can regain body heat" dance as well. It's rough, especially at 6am. If I'd gotten accepted to Wisconsin, it would've been a pretty hard decision... I am almost equally enamored with their faculty as I am with UNC's. Maybe I should be glad that they made my ultimate decision that much easier! But it stings to know that I just barely missed out on the opportunity. Ah, well. I'm in at Yale. History of Art + Film Studies. This past hour has been the strangest, most discombobulating experience of my life so far. After years of browsing this forum, sharing the joys, frustrations, and heartbreaks...it's over. All those rejections, and then I get an acceptance from one of my dream choices. Thank you all. WHAT THE FUCK I'M IN AT ROCHESTER NOW. WITH UNI FELLOWSHIP + STIPEND this is too much i'm going to drown myself in rum. Haha! Kick ass!! So freaking happy for you. Looks like you'll have some awesome schools fighting to get you in their programs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justlucy Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Totally freaking out! In at WUSTL, which has the most amazing funding and great job placement; in at Rice, which has one of the most influential voices of my field of study as the head of the department; and in at University of Michigan / English and Women's Studies, which would allow me to do work in two disciplines! I have no idea what do! I feel so fortunate but at the same time so confused! smilax 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

litkid Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Looks like Stanford and Rutgers started notifying. I didn't apply to Rutgers. My phone won't ring-- so I guess it means what it means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got distracted actually doing work (because I'm at work) and I come back to the results board to see that both Stanford and Rutgers have started. Oy vey. I'm not expecting anything from Stanford, but I had wondered about Rutgers. I guess now I have an answer? Lolol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patientagony Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Rutgers will ruin my weekend if I don't hear anything. Judging from the results board, Rutgers has been pretty consistent at notifying applicants on Friday or Saturday, so if you don't hear from them by then it's probably a rejection, which is more than I can say for other schools which roll add admits little by little. That's even worse. I will continue to tell myself this to feel better as I wait in agony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalliel Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Rutgers will ruin my weekend if I don't hear anything. Stanford is my runaway top choice. Which I know is true of a lot people, many of whom are also runaway more interesting and qualified than me. But I found an extreme, personal reason to spend the next 6+ years/the rest of my life in the South Bay/Peninsula, apart from you know, Stanford's wildly awesome program/fit for me. Ugh, I've already shed tears of anxiety! And I'm at work. D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was probably a good idea because private schools seem to hate me while the public universities love me, as demonstrated by my acceptances/rejections.

Although I think this is a product of already having solid acceptances -- if I didn't I'd probably be worried about places like Penn State and Iowa (as well as waitlists).
