ensli Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Yeah I really want to get my rejection ASAP so that I can drink my sorrows tonight. The "Final Review" step was also supposed to take up to two business days – but for me it took only a few hours – so I'm hopeful to get it over with soon. I already received two good offers, but Minnesota had a special place in my heart. I am an IR person interested in human rights and international institutions, plus I love Minneapolis and have a lot of friends and family there. Bummer. Same, I'm interested in IR and human rights too. Plus, my SO got accepted into Minnesota's philosophy phd program, so I REALLY hope I at least get wait-listed. But I've still heard nothing.

Orlien Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 cute distraction: plot this in Google plot sqrt(cos(x))cos(300x)+sqrt(abs(x))-0.7)*(4-x*x)^0.01, sqrt(6-x^2), -sqrt(6-x^2) from -4 to 4 astreaux, guest2401, lonestarflag and 1 other 4
TakeMyCoffeeBlack Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Congrats to the second rounder in at Northwestern! You deserve it after the struggle. Subfield, out of curiosity? IRTheoryNerd 1

cane14 Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Are we expecting Columbia and Yale both next week?
IRToni Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Are we expecting Columbia and Yale both next week? We were hoping for Columbia today, which still might happen. Otherwise, early next week!
cane14 Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Thanks! The more I stalk the results page and hover over the red diamonds, the more I appreciate how completely random this process is! Thankful I've been accepted.
TheWalrus Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Anybody on the Minnesota WL willing to share what their website status says? I am being delusional and not acknowledging my imminent rejection yet... ensli 1

IRTheoryNerd Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Omg. Northwestern. Elated. Chamberlain25, mooneyed, TakeMyCoffeeBlack and 6 others 9
IRToni Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Omg. Northwestern. Elated. Congrats! The first acceptance is such a relief, isn't it? Extremely happy for you!
Cazorla Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Congrats IRTheoryNerd! I guess it's time to assume a rejection there too..
cupofnimbus Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 All these second-rounders getting acceptances are so heart-warming
IRToni Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Congrats IRTheoryNerd! I guess it's time to assume a rejection there too.. Wouldn't say that yet. Last year, there were 9 acceptances in the first wave, so far, we have 5 this year. Also, last year, they accepted some people a couple weeks later! All these second-rounders getting acceptances are so heart-warming Yep, congrats to all the second-rounders!
anxious2151 Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Omg. Northwestern. Elated. Congrats!! If you don't mind me asking, are you IR or Theory? Your signature indicates IR but I'm trying to stay hopeful...
tinkerbell Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Anyone else here going to distract themselves with House of Cards this weekend? Of course! Just heading to a friend house to gather a bunch of us and watch it! No spoilers please!
IRTheoryNerd Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Congrats!! If you don't mind me asking, are you IR or Theory? Your signature indicates IR but I'm trying to stay hopeful... IR indeed. Emails seem to have been coming one by one.
