astreaux Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 this early??? Looks like their acceptances went out on 1/24 in 2012.
gokpinar Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Congrats to FSU admit! Anybody claiming it? Please share info with us.
TakeMyCoffeeBlack Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Sorry, I use sarcasm as a coping mechanism. I'm still with you that it is pretty lame if you do not get in... I didn't think you meant ill by it, or anything. I think we're all so tense. These next two (and four) weeks are going to be awful. ajaxp91 1
TakeMyCoffeeBlack Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Hey guys, I was wondering - if you receive a notification that you have been nominated for a fellowship but haven't heard an official acceptance yet, is it implied? I just sent an awkward email to the dept asking, but I wanted to know if it's a normal assumption to make. Edit: Never mine, looks like it was implied. Cool. Let us know when you get official word. In past years this can mean one of two things: 1.) If you were nominated by the department, that probably means they expect to admit you or 2.) If you were nominated within the graduate school because of your statistics, it means you have a good chance but nothing is guaranteed (read: but it's likely)
Zahar Berkut Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Huge congrats to the OSU and FSU admits, and for those waiting on those schools, remember, the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. strangepeace and kal5 2
gokpinar Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Anybody knows how to stop visiting the Gradcafe? I should stop this because some of the schools won't release their results until mid-March. It's simply unsustainable.... zudei 1

I should stop this because some of the schools won't release their results until mid-March. It's simply unsustainable.... I was even checking on my phone during a lull in my seminar today. Granted, our discussion of border regimes turned to digital borders, and I don't think anyone in the class had read (I was assigned another reading, in my defense)... But still, it's pretty terrible. astreaux and gokpinar 2

It's simply unsustainable.... The FSU admit and ensuing anxiety has stalled my progress in the analysis of the EC's Impact Assessment of a market stability reserve mechanism for the EU ETS. I am very annoyed ^^

It was option number 1, meaning I'm the FSU admit. Yay! zudei, ajaxp91, gokpinar and 3 others 6

TakeMyCoffeeBlack Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Yep, contacted the department. It was option number 1, meaning I'm the FSU admit. Yay! Many many congratulations! You're killing it so far this year!
zudei Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Yep, contacted the department. It was option number 1, meaning I'm the FSU admit. Yay! Congratulations Targy I hope there is more good news to come. Btw, were you notified by Jerry Fisher or the graduate school (or someone else)?
gokpinar Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Yep, contacted the department. It was option number 1, meaning I'm the FSU admit. Yay! Hearty congrats! Could you please details of your profile? I mean, of course, if you want to. Thanks.
Targy Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) Congratulations Targy I hope there is more good news to come. Btw, were you notified by Jerry Fisher or the graduate school (or someone else)? Was first notified about the fellowship nomination by the graduate school. Emailed Jerry Fisher to confirm acceptance by the department. I'll give you a few details. Some are somewhat embarrassing, so I'll give ballpark. GRE 165V, <160Q. Three pubs: one first author, two in peer-reviewed journals. 4.0 while getting 3 B.A.s. On a full ride scholarship at a public university. Hope that helps. Edited January 23, 2014 by Targy astreaux 1

I think you'll have more acceptances coming your way, and at least you can start breathing a little easier.
washington1985 Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Congrats to all of the admits so far! I had been able to break away from Grad Café four a couple of days thanks to a business trip, but looks like I'm stuck back here for good now that the action has started….

TheGnome Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Ok, I now have concrete evidence that everyone wasn't informed simultaneously by our system. One person emailed me to find out why we didn't admit him/her—but we did. So no answer still means no answer. And I think I have MY answer: they're using the hamster-powered TRS-80.... Thanks for letting us know. I feel like I am on an emotional roller coaster. This process is captured brilliantly in the immortal words of Nietzsche: "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger may try again." astreaux, ajaxp91, kainourgios and 3 others 6

I'm a complete train wreck waiting for Wisconsin... and then there are thirteen more. I'd like to speak with my doctor about whether or not a three-week medically induced coma is right for me TakeMyCoffeeBlack and anxious2151 2

I'd like to speak with my doctor about whether or not a three-week medically induced coma is right for me You are not alone. I am waiting for Wisconsin as well. It will be the middle of next week. Am I right? right?
IRToni Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Is anyone else regretting that they only applied to schools with historically relatively late decision times? It's starting to freak me out, honestly. Next year's applicants: Apply to at least one school with decisions in January so you won't get in the same position...
washington1985 Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 You are not alone. I am waiting for Wisconsin as well. It will be the middle of next week. Am I right? right? I'm right with you. Wisconsin will happen over the next five business days, I bet...
