mikers86 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 And my rejection just came as well. I assumed it was a no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgguitarist Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Congrats! Are you planning to visit? Probably. I have to talk to my SO and see what sort of funds we can scrape up, but I love OR and despite the low stipend the program is one of my top choices. I mean, the stipend is more than I make as an adjunct now so... What about you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamisha Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Ugh. I didn’t even apply to Brown, but the bloodbath on the results page is giving me a stomach ache. I’m wishing ice cream and cookies to all of you having a hard time right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewcycs Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I will take this ice cream and cookies you speak of!! February has seen a large spike in my Ben and Jerry's intake. It's been a terrible month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComeBackZinc Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 There was a day last cycle (I think) that people started calling Red Monday or something like that because a bunch of high-profile schools released a ton of rejections on the same day. It was hard to stomach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikers86 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Hilarious. Rejected from Brown and accepted to UConn within 20 minutes of each other. jazzyd, ProfLorax, aGiRlCalLeDApPlE and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, the stipend is more than I make as an adjunct now so... What about you? I'm on the fence. I love Oregon, but I have some other considerations that make CA more optimal, location-wise. And there's the money, which shouldn't matter, but it does. And I really, really, really want to work with a professor at ASU. I feel like by the time I weigh everything out, the only reason to prefer Oregon would be if there is something drastically wrong with all the other programs upon closer inspection, which seems unlikely. I'm waiting to hear back from my undergrad mentor about her PhD experience at Oregon; unless she talks me out of it, I am likely to decline their offer without springing for the visit.

enchantedforest Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I'm still waiting for Princeton, UPenn, and UCSC. I believe I have an applied rejection from Yale... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortstack51 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) Harvard and UConn acceptances up...doesn't bode we'll for me at either institution. I suppose I should give it a couple of days though-but I doubt I will get into Harvard. My subject score was good but my verbal was so so at 162 and I know they care about these things. UConn rejected me 2 years ago; let's see what they say this time around. 2 R, 2 implied R, 1 wait list, and 6 schools to go including Harvard and UConn. Starting to feel a bit desperate. Tat number may be down to 4 by the end of the week... Edited February 19, 2014 by shortstack51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m wishing ice cream and cookies to all of you having a hard time right now. I was thinking about this the other day. So far, the results board has been relatively green mostly but the further we move toward March the redder it'll get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikers86 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Thanks! Was it a personal e-mail, if I may ask? The email itself was very brief, just a congrats and contact us if you have questions, and attached was a letter from the English department and notes about teaching.
