"In the end, it doesn't even matter" (Virginia Tech, Engineering PhD)

 

".....this has been rough" (University of Marylad, Political Science, PhD)

 

"Seven years of college down the drain, might as well join the Peace Corps..." (Ohio State University, History PhD)

 

I feel for everyone-I'm still waiting to hear accepted/rejected....

 

Also-there must be a lot of internet traffic on the results page right now-mine is slowww to load. Anyone else experiencing this? A wave of anxiety ridden folks...

This isn't a rejection, but I still thought it was funny. Someone got waitlisted to UW-Eau Claire's SLP grad program and wrote "Because you know I'm all about that wait, bout that wait, no admit."

[tdcp]

I enjoyed this one:

 

 

"You are an exceptionally strong candidate but we cannot offer you funding at this time": they are right. I am such an exceptional candidate that I'm going to NYU. Sayonara beggars.

So glad I got accepted to my top choice...lol oh wait, still haven't gotten accepted any where so far. fml nbd yolo

 

And coming in a close 2nd:

 

• F*&% you Columbia, and your archaic windswept halls of exotica.

So I didn't post about this in the results page because I was not sure how to report it:

 

I got rejected from one of my top choices, and the rejection letter referred to rejection from the wrong program. I am not only unwanted in my program of choice, but apparently others as well. I was going to call them and ask what happened, but I feel that my life is already depressing and awkward enough as it stands. Womp. Womp. Womp.

Virginia Commonwealth MSW, Masters (F14) Rejected via E-mail on 1 May 2014 1 May 2014

Please, like I needed this. I already accepted another, much, MUCH better offer months ago. I don't need to go to this school. I don't even care that they rejected me I'm so much better than that anyway. They got back so late. May 1st? Really, like, they are so disorganized like omg. So glad I got a much better offer. They can reject me all they want I dont even care like I really dont.

so this person really doesn't care that they were rejected, lol

The same thing happened to me. It appeared they've made a mistake in my rejection letter :/ So to cheer me up they sent out a corrected one next morning

UCSD Biological Sciences PhD

 

"Suck my d*** UCSD" (censorship in original)

[FunkInDysfunctional]

This isn't a specific rejection quote but if anyone's looking for a chuckle, search anthropology and read the outraged comments for UPenn, referred to by one as "solidarity and sass". 

[Mattie Roh]

Bump!

Let's see what we get this year!

I was looking for this thread to post this!

It's from a few years ago (I was researching when I might hear back from my programs), but I love it:

• Sad day. It was my George Clooney of schools.

Couldn't believe my ears when my valet read the news to me. I'm telling daddy; he'll take care of it.

UPenn reject:

"I'll make them rue the day they rejected me. I'll go on to do great things and if ever I'm to issue a statement after that, I'll probably attribute my success over the bitterness this rejection has made me feel. Thanks."

[gelologist]

"so salty, can't even be a potato chip"

[Need Coffee in an IV]

@gelologist I saw that one just now and was going to post it!

Emory EPI reject:

• Emory can go f themselves

lol

[Chai_latte]

SUNY Buffalo (mechanical engineering):

• I applied for PhD, but accepted into Maser's degree without financial aid. They are unbelievable bastard! I emphasized in my application that I only want to study PhD, NOT MS. Such a crappy school. Don't go there otherwise your urine will start to build up a stalagmite in this harshly cold place :))
