Dr. Old Bill Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Purdue Acceptance! First full-acceptance! Any other Purdue admits? Way to go!!
1Q84 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) I just got into UCLA!! I am totally in shock right now. Felicity Nussbaum. CONGRATS Any indication if you're the first draft pick and more emails are to come? Or have they all been sent out and you're the only TGCer to get an admit? Edit: well I guess hypervodka's admit answers that question! Congrats hypervodka! Edited February 3, 2015 by 1Q84
hypervodka Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 I just got into UCLA.... omg? omg? This one is really throwing me for a loop. I just assumed the implied rejection because I didn't get an email this morning. So, let me continue to say: IT AIN'T OVER TIL IT'S OVER. Dr. Old Bill, Childermass and LilithWntDwn2TN 3

At this point I wonder if you'll have a clean sweep! Congrats again, Hypervodka!!
hypervodka Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Holy cow! Is that 4 for 4 now? At this point I wonder if you'll have a clean sweep! Congrats again, Hypervodka!! Last time I applied (different discipline), I was completely shut out, with one silent waitlist (no email or anything; they told me AFTER I was finally rejected that I'd been on the list). Getting into to all the programs would be a miracle, but not a particularly useful one. It'd just turn me into that annoying humblebragger complaining about how HARD it is to DECIDE from ALL of these GREAT SCHOOLS :( , deserving neither sympathy nor--well, nor friends, really.
obrial42 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 I got my first rejection. It feels so much worse than I thought it would. How do you all deal with rejection when it comes?

I don't think anyone will think of you that way. I know I won't, at least. You've been a fount of information here for several months, and you've become a fount of inspiration now (even though I usually avoid that overtone-laden word). And as I like to remind folks who start going down that path of blaming-the-acceptees, you can only choose ONE program. The rest will presumably open up to the waitlists. In other words, in most cases it's not like the offers you reject are slots that will disappear. It all works out. Hannalore, zanmato4794, InHacSpeVivo and 1 other 3 1

Your last bit made me smile and laugh because as I read it, I heard it like a Hamlet monologue in my head. Love it. CONGRATS! If I could do the Carlton and do it justice, I would record myself and post it to celebrate the fruits of your labor
Katla Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Hypervodka, what amazing news!!! Congratulations!!! And AsKingfishersCatchFire huge congratulations to you too!!!! You guys are all so amazing! Obrial42, sorry about your rejection. Tight hugs.
Dr. Old Bill Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Obrial42, sorry about your rejection. Tight hugs. Note to self: upside of rejection = tight hugs from Katla.

I'm going to try to figure out how to fix it when I get home. In any event, congrats hypervodka and well-said, WT! Edited February 3, 2015 by In hac spe vivo.

InHacSpeVivo Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 I upvoted it to make the post happy again. Thank you (and other upvoters)!!!! I sent a request to the admins to change my post so as not to taint WT's (I'm sure unblemished) record.
TeaOverCoffee Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 I received my first rejection/acceptance! I applied for Temple's PhD program, but they were unable to accept me due to funding. However, they did offer me admissions to the MA program, which also offers no funding for any MA student. So it's a step in the right direction, I think. Unfortunately, I more than likely will not accept this offer unless I can find a sufficient amount of outside funding, which is very unlikely.
jhefflol Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Congrats everyone! I'm still getting nothing but dead silence.

Childermass Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Just found out that I won't know about funding/get an official email for the PhD program I was accepted into until late February, so I'll come clean. I was accepted at UC Santa Barbara for English Lit as well! jhefflol, lyonessrampant and jean-luc-gohard 3

I was accepted at UC Santa Barbara for English Lit as well! Congrats! I got accepted there a few years ago and I visited campus. If you have any questions, let me know. It's a great program.
bookworm915 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) Congrats everyone! I'm still getting nothing but dead silence. Absolute silence on my end as well. Edited February 3, 2015 by bookworm915
Krystal Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) Hello all! I was super active here when I was applying to programs but have fallen off the wayside a bit! Congratulations on all of the wonderful acceptances to all of you wonderful applicants! I've got one rejection under my belt (Duke) with 8 programs left to go! Ways to distract myself from checking my email every ten minutes include: counting backwards from 1000 by 7, making really long crochet chains because it's the only crochet I know, fangirling over Harper Lee news, sledding using lunch trays I stole from my high school in 11th grade, and tenderly loving whiskey. GradCafe has been a little haven of joy and support, and I just wanted to get in on this! xx Edited February 3, 2015 by Krystal jean-luc-gohard and NMLogan 2
