Dr. Old Bill Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Crapcrapcrap--in my haste to not be one of those people who post acceptances but not stats per the other thread, I put the wrong GRE score. It should be 168 verbal, not 169. Dude. You just got into the #1 ranked English program in America. I think we'll let a minor typo slide. Wow. I'm just so thrilled for you. Unbelievably so. I even emailed my wife to tell her (yes, I'm a nerd like that). Katla, FoolofaTook and lyonessrampant 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inkgraduate Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Congratulations!!! Could you tell us more about the email? Was it a form email or from a POI? Did it direct you to the website?

unræd Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Form--or at least formal; but it didn't feel impersonal, and I don't know if there are differences btw offers--email from DGS, with attached letter outlining funding support. For what it's worth, my website app status hasn't changed; it still just says submitted. I'm half afraid I'll get another email saying "Oh, a thousand apologies! We sent that too soon. Didn't mean you. Sorry!" Off to classes for the rest of the afternoon, because yes, I can totally focus on Old Norse right now. inkgraduate, InHacSpeVivo and Page228 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm relatively new to being active, but I am so happy for you. I know that standardised test stats can never be complete measures of an applicant's ability, but yours were so impressive. And the positivity on this forum is infectious, I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
