rchlm_618 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I emailed the DGS at Boston College today (because I'm impatient and I couldn't stand not knowing how much longer I'd have to wait since there's a huge dearth of information on the results page re: BC POSC) asking for a timeline as to when I might hear an admissions decision. Expecting a terse 'calm down, we'll tell you soon' reply, he told me that I'm wait listed for the PhD, but accepted to the master's program. Which is actually really awesome news seeing as I applied to the master's program and was asked about my PhD intentions later. So without even applying for the PhD, I still might get it. What a day, folks. What a day. IRTheoryNerd, TheGnome, astreaux and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such great luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rchlm_618 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 @Cautiously and IRTheoryNerd -- thank you so much! It's good to have y'all in my corner. Since their incoming class is 5, I would tend to believe that the wait list is similarly small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it is well deserved. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRToni Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Get confirmed that we can expect Columbia to release their decisions this or the next week. Columbia and Stanford both this or next week! I wish my non-US schools could get their things in order so I could start making decisions...

TheWalrus Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Hey guys, I'm new here - I decided to join in after a week of lurking, hoping to find some support during these nerve-racking days. Am I the only one nervously waiting to hear from Minnesota? I saw the seven admissions that went up last night, but sadly my inbox is still empty. Anybody willing to claim one of those admits and tell us a bit more about what they said? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRToni Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Hi everyone, I was wondering if everyone has heard from NYU? I still haven't received a response. I still haven't heard either. Assuming a rejection at this point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Targy Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Part of the overnight UCSD massacre. I figured after this long, it was probably a rejection. I think I've been shut out, but on the plus side it's giving me a peace about my choice. I'm into my best fit school, so that's really all I could ask for.

Anybody willing to claim one of those admits and tell us a bit more about what they said? I'm with you on this one too. I haven't heard back from Minnesota either. I noticed last year that they strung out their acceptances, wait-lists and rejections for a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cupofnimbus Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Claiming a Notre Dame acceptance. In case this helps - Seems like a form e-mail. Funding etc. info came attached. IR subfield. Oh also, I didn't interview with them, just got the acceptance. So if you didn't get an interview that apparently doesn't mean anything. This does help, thanks. It looks like they're probably stringing things out, which is wonderful/terrible, because I can still cling to hope that I'll hear something positive.

IRTheoryNerd Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 has anyone called yale by any chance? No, but history suggests next week is the week we should expect to hear back from Yale (at least, the fortunate accepted among us). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cupofnimbus Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I feel like we're all a little stunned from the action yesterday. But I bought myself an unspeakable amount of wine and there's a snowstorm closing in and I'm ready for anything. astreaux 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
