m-ttl Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I know I got my Northwestern rejection on Valentine's Day last year while I was at CAA. I'd already figured it out but it was a good excuse to order a ridiculous quantity of pizza and veg out for the evening. Already figured it out? What made you lose confidence? I know someone who got accepted to NU on valentine's. I think I have 2-3 schools who give Feb. acceptances so I'm being driven nutty waiting. Luckily (or unluckily) even if I got a Valentine's rejection, I'll be at my Museum's seasonal exhibitions opening party, and it's a friday so after work is over I can go out for drinks.
jk0215 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 lucky me - my birthday is right around Valentine's, so if rejections start coming in good thing it'll be time for a ridiculous amount of cake and booze anyway. looks like michigan has started to contact finalists for their admit weekend? I didn't apply, but my friend did, and she's probably going to be glued to her phone all day...
Borden Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Already figured it out? What made you lose confidence? I'd run into my probable advisor earlier that day and it was INCREDIBLY strained and awkward, and on top of that I wasn't that great a fit/personalities hadn't really meshed well. I wasn't upset, mostly I was annoyed that the rejection had taken so long when there'd already been several rounds of them.
Borden Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Interview for first choice school done and I'll know either way by tomorrow morning. BuddingScholar and m-ttl 2
m-ttl Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I'd run into my probable advisor earlier that day and it was INCREDIBLY strained and awkward, and on top of that I wasn't that great a fit/personalities hadn't really meshed well. I wasn't upset, mostly I was annoyed that the rejection had taken so long when there'd already been several rounds of them. Ahhh, that makes sense. AFAIK my friend said he got accepted as late as the 14th (we were discussing how it feels to wait) so I suppose they must do "waves" of acceptances + rejections. I find it curious that a lot of schools do this in Grad admissions: not rejecting everyone at once or not accepting them all at once seems weird! I guess they're trying to gauge the responses of students in rounds? But with students schools know they're going to reject, the sooner I hear back imo, the better. :/ Good luck with your top choice!
Borden Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I'm pretty confident, I feel like they wouldn't have offered to read over and advise on my separate funding application that's due next week and offer back up plans if they weren't going to say yes? m-ttl 1
emmaatquoins Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Uh-oh, there's a Princeton Art Hist PhD acceptance up.. that's one of mine! Art Hist and Archaeology.. must try not to worry even more. There's nothing on telly and Blizzards servers are down - I have nothing to distract me!!
jk0215 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Congrats to the princeton admit. Arghh, one down five to go, I guess! Uh-oh, there's a Princeton Art Hist PhD acceptance up.. that's one of mine! Art Hist and Archaeology.. must try not to worry even more. There's nothing on telly and Blizzards servers are down - I have nothing to distract me!!
Borden Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Has anyone heard what their application numbers were? Last year I remember they had an insane number of applications and there was a landslide of rejections all at once.
ereissoup Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Got my first acceptance (informal). (It's a canadian school, just to not give anyone the wrong idea about timelines). Good luck everyone!
Borden Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Congrats! Which Canadian school, for those of us poor wretches applying to multiple international schools? ChurchLover 1
m-ttl Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I feel like with February happening everything is going to really kick into high gear and it's making me nervous. :/ I didn't even apply to Princeton and I feel anxious about it!
vide_poche Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Uh-oh, there's a Princeton Art Hist PhD acceptance up.. that's one of mine! Art Hist and Archaeology.. must try not to worry even more. There's nothing on telly and Blizzards servers are down - I have nothing to distract me!! This is one of mine too!! Didn't think anything would come up this early - so nervous!
BuddingScholar Posted January 30, 2014 Author Posted January 30, 2014 Got my first acceptance (informal). (It's a canadian school, just to not give anyone the wrong idea about timelines). Good luck everyone! Congratulations!!!! Did you apply for an MA or PhD? I applied to MA programs at McGill and UToronto so I wonder if it was one of these two... ereissoup 1
ereissoup Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Many thanks Borden and brazilianbuddy. I'd rather not name the school but it wasn't a Canadian top 3 so I think you can rest easy. I'm waiting to hear back from McGill and UToronto too, btw. Fingers crossed for both of us! Borden and BuddingScholar 2
klondike Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Congrats as well to ereissoup! Anxiously hoping it was not Concordia or UBC (blink once for yes twice for no) Oh and have we all seen this = http://www.mit.edu/~ruchill/lazycurator.submit.html
Borden Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 I am losing my mind. My email server isn't working and I'm sitting here freaking out waiting to learn my fate.
Borden Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Thanks! It's my first choice school and I'm about to die of glee. BuddingScholar 1
Katathomp Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Thanks! It's my first choice school and I'm about to die of glee. Congrats!!! I haven't heard back from any school yet. It's killing me.
m-ttl Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Congrats!!! I haven't heard back from any school yet. It's killing me. yeah the wait is killerrrr. there are a few places i already suspect have rejected me :/ congrats to borden though! Borden 1
Katathomp Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 yeah the wait is killerrrr. there are a few places i already suspect have rejected me :/ congrats to borden though! Any reason why you suspect those rejections?
m-ttl Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Any reason why you suspect those rejections? Mentions here & among other places of top candidates being contacted, people receiving interviews at places I didn't think interviewed at all (interviews weren't mentioned in other cycles)... one school has decisions dropping in early feb, and never changed my application to read as "complete" (it's a manual change, everything is actually IN. They fixed my TOEFL issue I mentioned earlier in the thread, but still haven't marked me as complete) and I'm suspecting at this point they've rejected me and decided not to bother marking my application as complete or under review. I'm almost tempted to just email them outright and ask if my application was reviewed at all. :/ I paid an exorbitant amount of money for that fee. It's certainly pessimistic of me, but at the same time, what gives?
emmaatquoins Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Another Princeton Art Hist today... not looking good :/
