atere Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 I think the sooner I know I am rejected the better for me I like your "positive thinking"! but i have the same opinion!
cbttcher Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 I applied around New York City for 8 schools and I am now checking the website of Cornell because I want to email the department. According to last year, they told ppl results today, valentines day. I also get impatient about others and I think the sooner I know I am rejected the better for me I honestly would advise against contacting them already based on last year's results. You'll honestly find out soon enough. I know it's hard to wait but I wouldn't contact them right now.
WendyWonderland Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 I like your "positive thinking"! but i have the same opinion! U know, I just emailed Stanford. I said I know it is pretty much an implied rejection but I would like to know when it is going to come out... I really want to do the same thing to NYU and Yale. I am about to email Harvard and I already asked Syracuse what their opinion of "fit" is...... Somebody should lock me in or something..... It is one of the biggest festival in China today but I feel so down .....

atere Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Ok. Advise taken. It's Friday night. I will just go out and try to forget about it go out!! have fun!! in Europe, Friday has just started!! damn different time zones! in the USA it is still late Thursday night!
WendyWonderland Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 go out!! have fun!! in Europe, Friday has just started!! damn different time zones! in the USA it is still late Thursday night! Already am! 11:02 pm in Beijing now. Sitting in a restaurant eating hot pot and afterwards into a club. Just not very much in the party mood.
cbttcher Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 And there is the rejection from Michigan. Kind of a rude message though. Not even a "Dear..." or "Hello"
aGiRlCalLeDApPlE Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Sorry, don't be sad cuz at least you have one acceptance. It's killing for those who still haven't heard back from any school
edenetapres Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Do you all have some sort of update to your Michigan account? Mine looks the same as when I set it up...
aGiRlCalLeDApPlE Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Can't tell, I didn't apply to Michigan.
atere Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) Can't tell, I didn't apply to Michigan. did you have any news from Oregon? or Northwestern? Edited February 15, 2014 by atere
ar88 Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 did you have any news from Oregon? or Northwestern? I got an unofficial acceptance from Oregon last night/ this morning. The DGS said the actual offer letter would come sometime next week along with details of funding. Good luck! aGiRlCalLeDApPlE 1

ar88 Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Great news then i hope this doesnot mean a rejection for me I got the sense that notifications will officially go out next week.
atere Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) I got the sense that notifications will officially go out next week. did you send an e-mail and ask them?or did they contact you first? Edited February 15, 2014 by atere
ar88 Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 did you send an e-mail and ask them?or did they contact you first? they contacted me... but I'm an international student.. (I don't know if that has an impact). I hope you get in too.

It's been only a month since the deadline, I wasn't expect to hear back so soon. I've been waiting for Northwestern (they said they'll be finished by the end of this week, which is yesterday). I'm bored of waiting, really.

ar88 Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 I'm talking about Comp Lit. I wasn't expecting it this early either. Good luck guys!
aGiRlCalLeDApPlE Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Notification of decisions: Candidates will typcially be notified of decisions by February 28, this is from the website Exactly, I saw this information before and that's why it feels strange to notify that early. You know, in terms of notifying applicants, Feb 28 is never close to Feb 15. it's frustrating now to wait until forever, every day expecting to hear something
atere Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Exactly, I saw this information before and that's why it feels strange to notify that early. You know, in terms of notifying applicants, Feb 28 is never close to Feb 15. it's frustrating now to wait until forever, every day expecting to hear something i feel the same so you are not alone here!! the thing is that after i saw the acceptance, I feel almost devastated!! i got three rejections so far and I am too close to depression! did you have any news from the universities you applied except Oregon and Northwestern?
aGiRlCalLeDApPlE Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 I only applied to 3 programs, and Northwestern was the one with the earliest deadline. I'm very closed to depression too cuz Northwestern notified 2 acceptances on the 7th and the 8th, and when I e-mailed them they said the rest will come in a week and of course nothing happened until now. That's why I was shocked to know that Oregon started notifying. I've had enough waiting for NU for almost 10 days now. So, I hope we both at least have one acceptance. This is my 2nd round of apps, so I'm not ready to do this again!
ar88 Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 I'm sorry to cause undue stress. I hope it all works out for you. It's my 2nd round of apps too so I understand how you are feeling.
aGiRlCalLeDApPlE Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 No, don't worry. Stress has been there since submission of applications. I'm happy for you and who knows, maybe we'll be colleagues one day
pdh12 Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Now that's the spirit! For some reason it seems that I only got in to all the European schools...I've been rejected from Michigan and Cornell, so far, and it's definitely given me a taste of inferiority complex... I definitely like the idea of a "round two", coming back older and wiser, if not severely scarred...
