It is green o'clock...I can feel it!!!

Every email I get from my current university just has a hint of disappointment with it

Good luck everyone!

Fingers crossed for a Vulcan bloodbath from Stanford instead.  ;)

 

That is some major league level nerdiness right there, and I love it.

Has anybody heard anything about anything?

Nope, though I'm really hoping to still hear from UNC!

Waiting for my rejection from Penn State (right? That's what's left from there? ), and keeping an anxious eye on the Maryland results.

And breaking open a bottle of wine with dinner! :D

Edit: Congratulations to everyone with good news today! It is so good to see green on the board!

Is it normal for POIs to want to call/skype you after you've been accepted to "chat" about the program? Not sure why the thought of skyping my POI makes me nervous, considering I probably can't be so awkward that they revoke my acceptance ha.

Pretty normal.

Relax, I'm sure you're not that awkward :)

My POI wants to skype/call as well. It's good, it's part of the process of selecting the best place for yourself. That said, it made me a bit nervous too, kind of like a blank-slatey feeling.

So, it's 9:30 est & no Stanford results have popped up on the board. Guess it will be tomorrow. What a Valentine's day.

Or God forbid next week. I just want to know UNC

Sort of makes me wonder what it's like to be a professor's spouse on V-Day. "Sorry honey, can't go out, gotta call these 40 admits..."

Nope no Stanford today. I mean, realistically, there is no point for me to even wait for Stanford. Still, I just want to be put out of my misery and concentrate on my current options and be happy.

I thought it was POI calls? so realistically, it would be like, 2-3 admits per prof, right?

Sorry, I was speaking generally, not just for Stanford! I think Stanford does POI calls, or whatever prof was representing each subfield on the admissions committee calls those accepted to that subfield maybe (I thought I read something of this sort several days back).

Ya, I got called by Paul Sniderman last year on Valentine's day, at around noon eastern.
