SSB1 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 How is that for fun? Well, technically, it was a wait list to start the day, but those two rejections three minutes apart were pretty painful. Yes, three minutes apart. Oh well, 1 for 4 isn't too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreams Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Well congrats on the good one at least. What were the schools? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSB1 Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 Carnegie Mellon, Michigan, Penn, and William and Mary. I'm actually happy with how it worked out, so I guess I'll say, so it goes. Just can't believe the whole 3 minutes thing. Did they coordinate that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, sometimes i don't know what these people want. I know people with lower scores, gpas and crappy work exp who get into decent schools then there others who are all around solid applicants that don't. It's all sujective to a large degree. Hopefully the wait-list works out for you....keep us posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSB1 Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 Yeah, I'm actually not even waiting around for the waitlist (I don't think, things could change I guess). I got into Carnegie Mellon about two weeks ago and I really like the structure of their program. Who knows. I could have ended up there even if I had gotten in to all of the others.

Carnegie Mellon has a fantastic program and they really prepare you for policy analysis. My former supervisor went there and her skills are killer. And when you think about it, getting all 3 rejections at the same time at least eases some of the anxiety of having the decisions spread out over several weeks. Too bad the news could not have been better though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a surprisingly good night of sleep last night, probably because I wasn't dreaming about getting accepted or rejected from anywhere. Good to have it done.

Cornell07 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 3 r's in 4 hours? Owch. Last year, for a different type of program, the most I had were two snail mail rejects in the same day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
