Datatape Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 We had a thread for this last year where people formally announced what their decisions are (in fact, some brilliant person put together a GoogleDocs document so we could see a summary list of who was going where - anyone want to do that?). I figured that since a few people appear to either be close to making a formal decision and a few seem to have chosen, we could celebrate where we'll be for the next five years in a thread. Anyone want to kick this off? korartiz, vitaebella, gradschoolwannabe and 1 other 4
Gwendolyn Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Perhaps a google docs might be beneficial here for a collaborative effort. Anywho, I've accepted an offer at The Ohio State University (English PhD). ZacharyBinks, BrookeSnow, no_foam_cappuccino and 10 others 13
Swagato Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 My ineptitude with "Cloud"-stuff prevents me from being able to open up a public Google Doc, but I would definitely be interested in seeing how this goes.

yellow.wallpaper Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 I still can't make any final decisions until funding comes through and I hear back from two other schools. :'( Why is this taking so long? OctaviaButlerfan 1
beet-nik Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 I still can't make any final decisions until funding comes through and I hear back from two other schools. :'( Why is this taking so long? I'm in the same boat (except for the other schools...I'm just waiting on funding). I am supposed to know by Thursday (tomorrow) afternoon, but I'm starting to doubt that haha.

Datatape Posted March 14, 2013 Author Posted March 14, 2013 Oh, yay! Lots of people posted on the Google Doc already. Don't forget to include what you're going to be studying, guys - that's part of the fun of seeing who's going where.
thatjewishgirl Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Posted. I think it would be mad to turn down a double acceptance, so my S/O and I abandoned all other options! Datatape, It's (Not) About Me and Porridge 3
antecedent Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Is it bad that I kind of wish there was a column for 'avatar' in the google doc? I seem to associate users more with their avatars than their usernames Anyway, congrats everybody! You made it BrookeSnow 1
It's (Not) About Me Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 I received my final unceremonious rejection a few days ago, making this decision... a non-decision! UNC Chapel Hill, here I come! I haven't officially accepted the offer yet because I want to visit first (just in case?), but it's about 99% likely that I will be enrolling there. It's so exciting and scary to be looking my future right in the eye! It's great that I know this now, because I'm having a "thanks for putting up with me while I applied to grad school, and yay, I got in somewhere!" party tomorrow night. Now I can stock up on Hpnotiq, Blue Curacao, UV Blue, etc etc in order to stain everyone's insides a nice Carolina blue. Oh, yay! Lots of people posted on the Google Doc already. Don't forget to include what you're going to be studying, guys - that's part of the fun of seeing who's going where. Ope, I was wondering why there was so little variance in the last column. I've been weirdly shy about sharing my interests, though I realize that no one really cares, haha. Is it bad that I kind of wish there was a column for 'avatar' in the google doc? I seem to associate users more with their avatars than their usernames Anyway, congrats everybody! You made it Haha, I was thinking that too. Although I didn't recognize everyone's avatars right off the bat... I've done a Google image search on some of them because it was driving me nuts.

korartiz Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 I added a column for your avatar if you want to take the time and copy it in there. Datatape and korartiz 2
