Kamisha Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Someone got waitlisted at NYU. Looks like that's it for me there. Ah well. You’ll find the right fit, ShortStack51. It’s their loss! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgguitarist Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) I've been listening to this on repeat for the past week, trying not to give in to the crazy. It occurred to me that sharing might be a good idea https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWInwDmGdCg&feature=kp Edited February 11, 2014 by bgguitarist Kamisha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanfram Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I interviewed about two weeks ago and I'm still waiting. No word on acceptance, rejection, campus visit, waitlist, nothing. Just slightly infuriating. Nice getting an interview, but yeah...that waiting is no fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyctophile Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Thank you for your kind words. Congrats on your UC San Diego acceptance! I’m sure many more are headed your way. You are most welcome and thank you. I'm so grateful I heard from them before I got my rejection from Berkeley. Congrats to the Berkeley admits you lucky ducks!

NowMoreSerious Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) Anyone get waitlisted to the Lit program at Duke? I know they've interviewed, invited people for a campus visit, and sent out some rejections over the past couple weeks, but I still have no update on my status. Might want to check the Duke Lit thread, but my understanding was that they pull most of the waitlisted from those that were interviewed, and maybe a few other slots. So for example they might interview 10-12, accept 6 outright, and waitlist the other 4-6. I believe last year somebody got in who didn't interview, but it was only one person. If Bennett sees this he can clarify. Edited February 11, 2014 by NowMoreSerious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhr Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Holy cow - just accepted to the M.A. program at UMinnesota tomorrow I have an interview for a technical writing position at a company my life has literally spread into a perfect crossroads between academia and otherwise is it insane to defer, make money for a year, and THEN attend an unfunded program? CompRhet MA? How did they notify you? My status just moved from submitted to awaiting program decision (after a month), so I wonder if I'll hear something one way or another soon.

ArthChauc Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 A few things: Congrats to the UChicago acceptance! That's an amazing school with incredible scholars and I'm jealous--I didn't even bother applying there, I'm not of that caliber, unfortunately. #selfaware To anyone with nerves that drive them up a wall: this website, from my experience, does not help. I have stayed off of it since my two rejections last week (sadface) and I have to say that my mood as well as my productivity greatly increased. When I say my productivity, I don't mean because I have lent the time I previously spent on this site to my work, but that I am no longer feeling cripplingly nervous for hours a day. I feel awesome. I pulled an 800 calorie workout this evening and wrote five pages of my thesis this morning. Boom. I totally get that this site is good for venting/mutually freaking out, and I love that. I think you all are incredibly intelligent, articulate, and capable scholars and there's nothing inherently wrong with all of us articulating our application woes/triumphs with one another...but from my brief hiatus, I will say that my mood has greatly improved and my fiancé can now actually stand talking to me on the phone (accomplishment in itself). Please don't read this as bashing GradCafe/GC users. I'm merely making a suggestion for those anxious types like me. Let's see if I can stick with my own advice. As always, good luck!

ashing Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) Hey guys:) First time poster, just wanted to say (in case anyone else here applied there) that the UCR acceptance was me - the email didn't include any information about the admissions timeline or applicant pool or anything. Figured I'd let you folks know in case somebody is dying for news! Edited February 11, 2014 by ashing Kamisha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgguitarist Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Anyone who applied to CU Boulder: I logged in to MyCUBoulder today to check my status and noticed there is now information under the "Finances" tab.

There's a bunch of financial info on that page now.. Sheesh. I hope they do notify soon but I don't know if I can handle that rejection. That's one of my better shots, I think, and I would hate to see it crossed off my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS It looks like you and I think alike. We both applied to Duke, U Washington, U Oregon, and U Boulder. PS On the “Financial Aid” To-Do List, it shows whether all of your items have been received.

ashing Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 CONGRATULATIONS!! You are wonderful. Can you say what time you received the email? Of course! The email came in around 8:30pm here on the East Coast -- about 2 hours ago. I received a Chancellor's Distinguished Fellowship award -- full tuition remission and a total of around $200k in stipends over 5 years. I've been yelling inarticulately ever since I opened it; the email came just after a rejection from Berkeley, so the timing was perfect. Hope this helps someone!

And adding UT to that, I'm either going to have a VERY rough week or (God forbid), I will actually be accepted somewhere. Crossing my fingers for both of us; actually, I'm considering gluing them that way since they're there 24/7 these days anyway.
