timeless90 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 hey guys, so the MIT acceptance is real??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cupofnimbus Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Yeah. I never trust St. Eds. Especially because I've apparently been targeted for two of their programs, so I'll get two emails within 3 minutes of each other and all that's changed is the name of the program. Yeah, and I get excited when I see "University" something in my email. When I realize it's just them again, I don't even read it, I just savagely delete it as quickly as possible.

RCD2 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Claiming an MIT acceptance. It was a call from POI. This is my first acceptance, I feel so relieved! veritaserum, wokeem, Chamberlain25 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeless90 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Congrats!! Seems like they are slowly releasing their results! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCD2 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I may not remember this correctly, but I think my POI mentioned in the call that official emails will go out tomorrow. So if you didn't get a call, no worries, other profs may handle this differently. veritaserum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scdp Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Congratulations! Noticed that you're listed as international on the results page; may I ask where you're located presently? I'm Canadian. woodpecker2014 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deltaqsquared Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 first post! had to vent out ~ Comparative: Emory acceptance, Cornell wait-list, Berkeley/Princeton rejections - MIT please, please, & please call/ email me tomorrow! Phone's fully charged~ Comparative here as well. Not optimistic about MIT though, for myself. As I keep repeating in despair, I don't really care where anymore, but rather would like to go where ever I may be accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zudei Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Were all admitted international students called by Stanford too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerasy Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Were all admitted international students called by Stanford too? I second this question. Never received a call from them, but still hoping... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guest2401 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Were all admitted international students called by Stanford too? There's all reason for hope. If they called US numbers at 1am GMT, they would have to wait to the next morning to call Europeans, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ensli Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I'm just curious - how did you folks handle the phone call? Were you audibly stoked, or did you keep your cool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jane4jane4 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Wondering if there's any room for hope for Columbia or not..if they announced the acceptances yesterday, should I take it as a no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ensli Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Wondering if there's any room for hope for Columbia or not..if they announced the acceptances yesterday, should I take it as a no? I'm in the same boat. There's a subtle difference between assuming rejection (which you shouldn't actually do because you haven't been rejected yet) and preparing yourself for rejection. I do the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCD2 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Wondering if there's any room for hope for Columbia or not..if they announced the acceptances yesterday, should I take it as a no? Based on past experience, I think we have to take it as a No... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRToni Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Wondering if there's any room for hope for Columbia or not..if they announced the acceptances yesterday, should I take it as a no? I have no idea. In the last couple of years, it took Columbia a while, and they actually did several rounds. However, some people were WL at Columbia already, so no idea! Might be worth sending an email? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperstreet Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 FWIW, If you check off that you would like to be considered for the MA program at Columbia it will take A LONG DAMN TIME to get an official rejection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jane4jane4 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Yep, sending an email if they haven't notified by next Wednesday (one week after first acceptances) makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packrat Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Is there an official grad dept (or grad administrator) email for Columbia? The only one I saw was for GSAS and I'm guessing we could get a quicker response with the former... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BackyardBrawl Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Update on UNC for anyone who's interested: They made a first round of initial decisions, but they usually do a wait list. The DGS mentioned a "first-cut" of admits, so I'm not sure if that means there will be a second round or just the wait list to follow. Apparently, there is still light at the end of the tunnel.
