TheVineyard Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Has anyone NOT heard back from UCLA? I'm wondering if I should still be holding out hope, considering that I did not receive the rejections many did.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnothi_Seauton Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Has anyone NOT heard back from UCLA? I'm wondering if I should still be holding out hope, considering that I did not receive the rejections many did.... I've not heard from UCLA. I'll bet that a rejection is on its way for me, but I have no idea what's going on behind the curtain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ta_pros_to_telos Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 When I called the department yesterday, they said that they were sending out a "first wave of rejections" (?!) "this morning" and that they were probably "making final offers [that day.]" So, idk? Maybe there's some hope that some of you who haven't received rejections will be admitted? wandajune 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe I'm waiting on fucking UCLA to just god damn tell me something before I accept another offer. What number did you call? None of them will answer their phones!

I recall some mention that you were accepted at a T-5 program. Do you need to wait for UCLA to make a decision? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alethicethic Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I can't believe I'm waiting on fucking UCLA to just god damn tell me something before I accept another offer. If that's your attitude toward UCLA, why not just accept the other offer? greencoloredpencil, wandajune and MattDest 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've answered this multiple times in multiple threads. I am in a 2 body problem and one body didn't get in there, but got in at other great schools in the same cities that I received offers from lower ranked programs. LA would be one of those cities. Also, funding is relevant. If that's your attitude toward UCLA, why not just accept the other offer? Can I not be frustrated at the bureaucracy and decision speed of these applications but still see it is a good option for myself and my fiancee to study for the next 5+ years?

You've posted 360 times--you can hardly expect us to have read all of them. There are a lot of threads and posts here. You seemed especially anxious to hear from UCLA, but it was odd given the context of your T-5 offer and your negative attitude toward the department. We asked sensible questions--no reason to get defensive. Your position (now) makes sense--thanks for clarifying. Would you accept at UCLA if you received an offer?

I really don't have a negative attitude to the department in general, but a very negative one toward the way the department is handling themselves today. And it would probably be the best option for us both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, good luck to you and your fiancee. Edited April 15, 2014 by wandajune Guillaume 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, good luck to you and your fiancee. You seem like such a nice person. I'm glad you did so well in admissions. Good luck in Madison. Reasons to love Madison: beer selection, beautiful weather from May to December, nice people, unique downtown, low cost of living. And then there's UW Madison, which is one of the best public universities in this country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgswaim Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I forgot to factor the beer into my decision!!!! :o :o Fear not, fellow philosopher. The craft beer culture in Austin is thriving. Austin Beer Works, 512 Brewing, Real Ale, Jester King and Adelbert's are all great crafters of beer in the area, and that's just scratching the surface. You're in good shape.
