Zhicao Fang Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Latest rejection from UC Berkeley and yet to (officially) hear anything else from other schools.
tardisblue Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 I saw there was one acceptance listed for Vanderbilt awhile back. Anyone else heard from them or know when we can expect to hear something?
inwhatway Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 OMG!!! Accepted into Northwestern! So happy That's HUGE! Congratulations! gretagarbo 1
gretagarbo Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 That's HUGE! Congratulations! Congrats! That's great! Thanks!! This is a huge surprise... like snow on a christmas day...in Egypt... or on the moon! You know, I was already ready to apply again the next year since I kept getting rejections. For those of you who feel hopeless because of rejections: don't feel that way! These rejections/admissions are not measures of your worth, nor they are the only things relevant to your purpose and pleasure in life. Please keep that in mind. PeterRY, RandomDood and Purehoney 3
PeterRY Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 I'm excited for tomorrow! I hope to hear some good news!
walterwhite Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 I'm excited for tomorrow! I hope to hear some good news! Me too - I'm going crazy!
gingin6789 Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 This is the only time in my life where I look forward to Mondays!! I hope we hear some news tomorrow too! PeterRY 1
meowth Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 For the school's I'm applying to, I expect to hear rejections from Chicago soon (hey at least then I'd know), and maybe some more stuff from Boston University (but probably not acceptances... I'll cross my fingers for waitlist?). I'm so impatient this weekend though. I think Albany probably won't do anything until the end of February (which is soon but not soon enough) and USF MA was due Saturday so that's going to be foreveeeer (March 15 I guess).
asq Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Do you think that tomorrow being a holiday (Presidents Day) might mean not hearing back from schools tomorrow?
gingin6789 Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 I haven't been off for President's Day at all in college ... I would check the websites of the places where you applied to see if they are open tomorrow! Some schools might be closed, but none that I know of!

gingin6789 Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 I'm off tomorrow, so I figured some might be! oh wow, I see!! Hey, I'm glad you have the day off =) Maybe you'll have the day off, but the schools you're applying to will still be open and you could hear back from them!! oh, wouldn't that be perfect?? PeterRY 1
Purehoney Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Ugh, I didn't hear from BU....thought I had a good shot.
meowth Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Chicago U is open Monday, but actually wasn't open Friday, which might be why they haven't gotten rejections out yet (at least going by when they sent them last year and when they sent acceptances this year). Boston U is closed Monday. But I already don't expect much since they sent an acceptance already. They might send waitlists this week though!
gingin6789 Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Yes, Meowth, University of Maryland was also in the "closed Friday/open Monday" boat! They sent out acceptances/rejections earlier than this time last year. If Boston U only sent out one acceptance, surely there's room for more?? I hope so!!
SocGirl2013 Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Stony Brook is open! x 1,000 AND they already met last week. So this week has to be it.
walterwhite Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 AND they already met last week. So this week has to be it. I hope everyone hears soon! Though it seems, so far, that trying to logically anticipate notifications has not worked out so well for us. SocGirl2013 and PeterRY 2
gingin6789 Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 University of Delaware director of graduate studies called me ... they haven't made any final concrete decision but he said "I can't tell you enough how impressed we are with your application." So they're having me out there, all expenses paid, for a weekend (along with a handful of other applicants) to meet people and discuss life at UDel, etc ... so an unofficial acceptance?! EITHER WAY I AM FREAKING OUT WITH HAPPINESS!!!! Please excuse the caps lock!! Stats are in my signature!! walterwhite, RandomDood, Maleficent999 and 7 others 10

They have a very diverse research line there.

Karl32 Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Ugh, I didn't hear from BU....thought I had a good shot. Boston? they just unleashed the first set of offers.
gingin6789 Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Sociolite, thank you so much!! I hope they call you soon; you sound like a great candidate!! Thank you very much, Maleficent =))))

EITHER WAY I AM FREAKING OUT WITH HAPPINESS!!!! Please excuse the caps lock!! Stats are in my signature!! Congrats! I got the same call today! I guess I will be seeing you again soon! It sounded to me that it was an unofficial acceptance. I asked the DGS to explain the process further and he told me that it is not like a reality TV show, it's not competitive, this meeting is only to introduce us to the department and to make sure we are still interested in studying what our application indicated. March 2-4th right? gingin6789 and sociologo 2

They already sent me my train ticket!! Edited February 17, 2014 by gingin6789
