DHumeDominates Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Congrats to all the Rutgers and Princeton admits! Looks like I won't be going to Princeton. No matter. Let's go, Michigan! Hope to find an email from you tomorrow or early next week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattDest Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I haven't been really keeping track of who go in where and what people's options are (aside from that guy ), but even if what you say is true, I still don't see how nagging them about it at this point helps. Moreover, it creates unnecessary pressure on those who are honestly undecided--who are also apparently forbidden from having a thread for discussing their decisions on here. I'm definitely sympathetic to those who's hopes are entirely riding on the waitlist roulette and I agree that the nagging isn't the worst thing, but I can't see how it can be a good thing (at best neutral, at worst bad, because it creates undue stress/guilt in others). Wait, who in the world said that people were forbidden from making a thread about their options? I don't think any of the above posts could be considered "nagging". If so, I want more people to nag at me with offer of cookies and drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give you a years worth of cookies if you call USC and get them to reconsider me and then accept me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think any of the above posts could be considered "nagging". If so, I want more people to nag at me with offer of cookies and drinks. It's the repeated nature of the requests that make them naggy. Anyway, I was being a bit off the cuff there about the forbidden thread. There was one, but then it got hijacked and massively derailed by a pedantic blowhard to the benefit of no one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattDest Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Vineyard's post is at -19... I don't know that I would quite call this being forbidden to make threads. I'll give you a years worth of cookies if you call USC and get them to reconsider me and then accept me. You don't want to live in LA anyway. LA blows.

SamStone Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I just got a letter from a school stating that they are missing a transcript (which they actually aren't missing anything, but for some reason the school got listed twice); my "decision status" reads "pending file completion." Does the fact that they haven't already rejected me and requested this file say anything about the possibility of acceptance...or is this just standard procedure for filing purposes, etc.? Anyone had a similar experience in the past (or during this season)?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hopefulpessimiste Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Congrats again to those accepted yesterday! I checked the results page, but did not see any waitlists for Princeton, or for UCLA. Does that seem strange to anyone else? Think they'll be sending some? I'm just trying to cling to a tiny bit of hope... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platonist Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I removed myself from the University of British Columbia waitlist. Hope this information helps someone! I did not apply to this school, but I want to thank you for being so nice. Obviously it will help those who are on the wait list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVineyard Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Vineyard's post is at -19... I don't know that I would quite call this being forbidden to make threads. I think what you mean is that I command immense moral authority in the face of a populous who wishes to put me down! Yeah, looking back on that post it was probably pretty stupid. A thread about how people make decisions was no more useless than any other thread on here. I just thought that it would almost be wrong if someone was convinced to make a school decision based on how another makes a school decision, but then I found myself doing it and because I was doing it it seemed right so...yeah, my bad wakeupright, MongooseMayhem and Ryura 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golem Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 So... is Purdue doing admissions this year? I've been thinking the same thing. Have you contacted them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platonist Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 The feeling of uncertainty is killing people. Most of schools have sent out acceptances and wait lists, but not rejections. For those who have not heard anything from these schools, they never know if they are on the secret, extended wait list or they are rejected. If it is the latter, then hope those schools will release rejections as soon as possible. Do not leave them behind, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
