philosophe Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 So, I was just admitted to Indiana off of the wait list. Happy about that! Congrats! i'm uber jealous!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platonist Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) Did everybody check the online status of your application to Duke? I want to know if the website has been updated for *every* applicant, because the status of my application seems not updated and it says "no notifications." I have not received acceptance, waitlist, or rejection. It is a bit weird. I have no idea what happened.Thanks.

However, since waitlists and acceptances have gone out (but no rejections have), I see absolutely no reason to think positive news is coming for us.

But there are people whose status of rejection has been updated on the website, why was ours not updated? I hope our application is still under consideration and thus could be viewed as on the extended waitlist.

Gnothi_Seauton Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 It's possible that Duke is operating with an unannounced waitlist. I was only admitted to Duke about a week ago, but I was never told that I was on a waitlist. I know they released initial acceptances back in January. I thought they had waitlisted some people, so I had assumed that I would be rejected. Unless they just forgot to let me know back in January, I assume that they waitlisted me without telling me and then admitted me later on. But I have no idea what's going on behind the curtain so this is all speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the massive rejections are on the way. I am so disappointed. Edited February 25, 2014 by Platonist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was admitted about a month after the initial acceptances went out. I can only assume that I was waitlisted without being told. It might be the case that others are in the same boat.

Thanks for the info, Gnothi. I do hope Duke is operating with an unannounced waitlist, at least it would give me some hope. According to TGC, the initial acceptances were received on January 27. When did you receive the notification of acceptance? Edited February 25, 2014 by Platonist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zblaesi Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Waitlisted at UW-M. I would be happy to study under Shafer-Landau (while probably trying to show that moral realism is incorrect). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopefulpessimiste Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I'm claiming a Madison wait-list. I know it's a wait list, but still it's my first good news!!!!!!! If you got in to Madison and are planning on going elsewhere, please decline your offer. I will bake you cookies! Seriously, send me your address and I'll send you cookies. Any cookies! AHHHHH.

wandajune Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I was just accepted with an assistantship for the terminal M.A. at NIU. From the email: "...we had an incredibly strong and unusually large group of applicants this year since we had, so we have many excellent candidates on our waiting list. Hence it would be very helpful for us to know your decision as soon as possible." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wandajune Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Also, congrats to the Madison waitlistees! It's very much my top choice right now, so I'm afraid I can't help you much, but good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quoc Thai Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 For all M.A. Applicant out there. UH had already decide their top student for second round. IDK if it mean that they post their rejection yet, but they had in mind their top 15-20 student for admission. Funding decision is still hanging.

bar_scene_gambler Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 Can anyone else claim the GSU acceptances? It goes without saying that if it's not your best option, I would be your best friend forever if you declined. Philstudent and I have some drinking too do and we can't do that if we aren't at the same school!

philophilosopher Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) I was accepted to GSU and I will most likely be declining (also, a friend was accepted and this friend will most likely be declining as well). I am not completely sure yet though. I will keep you posted. Where are you on the waitlist? Edited February 25, 2014 by philophilosopher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
