johnnycomelately Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 That's what I was thinking, based on last years results.
djp2 Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Looking through last year's posts, it seems the first Thursday in February was a busy day for acceptances in 2013 (Columbia, Princeton and others) but it seems to be pretty quiet on the results board today. Wonder if the weather is having an effect. The waiting is driving me crazy. thedig13 1
BookishVixen Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 UMASS results are in today. I got rejected unfortunately. I thought I was a solid fit but I guess it's not to be.
angelayar Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Oh sorry to hear it Bookishvixen. There is nothing great I can say to you only to say: keep focus on your own work and how your own research goes. That is what keeps me going during rejections! If you want to become historian, that will be your own task. angelayar 1
catsandscarves Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) There is an Indiana acceptance on the board! Nervous that I haven't received anything and that there is no change on my application status. My partner was accepted there so it would be nice to know that we have one option together.

angelayar Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Pour yourself a wine Catand scarves! It works for me. i think u will be fine I thnk you already have acceptances and I feel there will be mroe for you! There is an Indiana acceptance on the board!

catsandscarves Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Join the club...IUB is my dream school. My inbox has tumbleweeds blowing through it... :/ Might be that they are doing it throughout the day today and tomorrow....just gotta wait! which I know is the worst

I am working on my thesis so there is something to distract me!
djp2 Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 I have a gut feeling we're about to hear from Harvard, which I dread. I hope you're right! I'd rather get all of this out of the way sooner rather than later, even if it's a disappointment!
catsandscarves Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 I hope you're right! I'd rather get all of this out of the way sooner rather than later, even if it's a disappointment! I totally agree with that mentality that I would rather just get it out of the way even if it is a rejection...the looming feeling of not knowing is the worst!
catsandscarves Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Ugh, now I wish I wouldn't have looked on here...I wish I hadn't seen that IUB acceptance....now I will be super nervous for a while because if they are inviting people to visit that means they are inviting a batch of acceptances.
angelayar Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 yeah would be great if all came in one week so we don't have so much mental torment for much longer!
New England Nat Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 If Princeton hasn't dropped today, than I'd say either tomorrow or Thursday/Friday next week. I have no insider knowledge about this cycle other than the culture of the department. There is some variability because these things will be sent out by the graduate assistant who is new to the department. schlesinger1 and tampopo ramen 1 1

I'm trying to distract myself by working on an academic website I manage...wish is failing because it is all about what I want to study...at IUB or Pitt or IUUC...or...orrr.......empty mail box.

New England Nat Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Having to write my masters thesis saved my sanity during this process. ritsos and thedig13 2
catsandscarves Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Having to write my masters thesis saved my sanity during this process. Yes it is definitely giving me something to work on consistently and to think about. I am trying to check my email less regularly as well; however, seeing the Indiana posting prompted a check and now I am totally distracted :/
angelayar Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Lol i have done my MA thesis and now i WATCH MY BOYFRIEND DO HIS! Lol visiting him at his university. I read one page or two of books then I go back to misery
levoyous Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 While I was reading the utterly insane Berkeley thread, Northwestern tied them for most results so far: 26 each.
poofysheep Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 New England Nat thanks for the Princeton updates!
ReallyNiceGuy Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 So I didn't apply to Madison but I look forward to seeing how many Madison posts end up on the results board as compared to Northwestern and Berkeley posts.
