ridgey Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 This process has taken me so far from normality that the ridiculous conclusions I come to based on postings to the results page are amusing me, when they're not crippling. Today: Programme A - someone posted a rejection from a different field of my area than the one I applied to. The decision making at the school is almost certainly separate. My thoughts "well, clearly I'm rejected too because my online status hasn't changed and they don't update the web until rejection letters have had time to arrive by post and if that person from that department has a rejection then all the acceptances in my depratment have definitely been notified." Has anyone else lost perspective and the capacity for logical thought? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halcyon22 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Yes! And I got totally bummed out for a few days, convinced I had been rejected. I got my acceptance 3 days later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TulipOHare Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Yes! And I got totally bummed out for a few days, convinced I had been rejected. I got my acceptance 3 days later! That happened to me too! It's really hard to avoid leaping to these conclusions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reinventing Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Yes. Am currently contemplating how long a letter would take to get to me from School A. And would they send it out before the decision went into the system, or after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arienandthesun Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Currently, I have seen a lot of acceptances from the schools I applied that I still haven't heard anything. I try not to think about them as all rejections but still. I lost my hope. Maybe phd is not for me, this was my second try this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DART Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 The admissions committee at my top school is finalizing their decisions by March 15. They aren't notifying applicants (accepts or rejects) until March 23. What gives?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
