astreaux Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Claiming the (expected) Chicago rejection that just popped up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRToni Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Looks like another slow day? Sorry for the Chicago people! Why can't they just indorm all at once? It's like ripping a band-aid off! Mich and Princeton managed, why npt other schools? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mich and Princeton managed, why npt other schools? I think it's probably because they bundle MAPSS acceptances (and sometimes MAPSS funding) with their rejections, but I still wish they'd sent a blast email as soon as they'd made all of their acceptance and wait-list decisions. Oh well. Totally expected, and good to have closure on this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well. Totally expected, and good to have closure on this one! Tough luck grotian, but thanks for finally confirming what Chicago still has not. Time to chalk up one more for the no column! I spent the whole day cleaning house, holding out hope for an admissions notice (somewhere, anywhere!) to make it all worthwhile. At least I can eat off the floor now...

IRToni Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Q (pure intellectual curiosity): Do you guys know about the current "Edathy-gate" in Germany? Just interested in knowing how far things travel, since many people actually know about Guttenberg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astreaux Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 General Question- any thoughts on what to wear for admitted visits? I'll be curious to hear what people think about this. I assumed business casual... no tiaras, no concert t-shirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nords Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 General Question- any thoughts on what to wear for admitted visits? I've been curious about the same thing.. Would hate to show up business casual and have all the other prospective students be in suits... would also hate to show up in a suit and have the others be in shorts.. I guess business casual is a relatively safe bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess business casual is a relatively safe bet. When visiting weekends happened at my undergrad institution, it seemed that guys tended to wear a nice polo or shirt with khakis and girls wore casual summer dresses with a cardigan.

lonestarflag Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I'm thinking I'll go with the nicer side of "smart casual". I'll walk down the hallway of my department and take a poll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinkerbell Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Can someone claim USC? They've sent an email some weeks ago saying they'll be sending notifications for the POIR program "no sooner than 19th February but no later than 21st Feb", but I've seen some notifications on the gradcafe survey already, any news about it?

MrLister_The_Sister_Fister Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I've never understood why people are always concerned about what to wear to admit visits... it's not like the department/uni has a dress code, and the profs are more interested in your abilities and research than in your sartorial choices. I'd just wear whatever makes you feel comfortable. Personally, I would wear jeans and a tee shirt, because idgaf. smallworld and milox 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlien Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) I've been planning a nice pair of dark jeans, a nice tailored extra slim fit dress shirt, and a red blazer. Well, I guess I know how I'll recognize you if I see you at any visits then ;P Edit: I'm thinking I'll dress the way I did during my DC internship last summer. It's better to be the only one in a suit than the only one in shorts (eg better to seem overeager than undereager) Edited February 18, 2014 by Orlien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paleblueeyes Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Claiming a Rutgers and a SUNY Binghamton admit. I'm pretty much in shock. The Rutgers email was sent on the 14th and went into my spam folder, which I have been checking. Not sure how I didn't see that until today.

I have an interview this week with them, and I'm curious if they're doing that for everyone, or just people they're on the fence about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
