hypervodka Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Very good!! Congratulations all you lucky-dog Cornell and Chapel Hill and Princeton admits! Gnossienne, your accepted/waitlisted/rejected school list is really throwing me for a loop: this really is a crapshoot, isn't it? I was just accepted to UConn, which really surprised me, actually. I was worried the fit was a stretch. jean-luc-gohard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Old Bill Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Congrats, Cornell admits...and to Gnossienne especially! That joint MFA/Ph.D. program is particularly tough to get into -- one per year, I believe! Are you on the fiction side or the poetry side of things?

I was worried the fit was a stretch. Dude, you have no freakin' idea--or rather, you totally do because we're all stuck in this boat together. Little did we know what we were signing up for barely two months ago... But, hey!!! Super big congrats about UConn :DDDD super happy that the cheer is going around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnossienne Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Congrats, Cornell admits...and to Gnossienne especially! That joint MFA/Ph.D. program is particularly tough to get into -- one per year, I believe! Are you on the fiction side or the poetry side of things? I got in for fiction! I totally thought I wouldn't get the joint program since they accept so few people each year (I was asking a friend of mine who's a grad student there and she said pretty much what you did, that they accept something like 1 person per year) so I'm just like ??? I'm sorry about Cornell though--I've been following the forum for so long that I've been rooting for you and Cornell for a while now like hypervodka said, this stuff really is a crapshoot.

Aww. Thanks. It's fine though -- truly. I've got one strong acceptance option, which takes a surprising amount of the sting out of subsequent rejections. The creative writing side of my application was always a major longshot anyhow, given my penchant for formal / traditional verse. Good luck, and write some AWESOME stories!

hypervodka Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 ("Visit midweek," more like.) UCLA's the same way. Getting time off from work to go to all of these humpday open houses in March has been such a hurdle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unræd Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 UCLA's the same way. Getting time off from work to go to all of these humpday open houses in March has been such a hurdle. I know! And now Cornell's is a Wednesday, too. We shouldn't complain--it's a lovely problem to have!--but the number of times I've had to email teachers to say "Um, so, about attendance in this course…" And what about people coming from MA programs, who have to be teaching during that time? I get why they do it, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I can understand making it having one day that's a work day so interested people could sit in on a seminar and so forth, but there is no reason there needs to be three weekdays in there! unræd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circlewave Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) it seems like UNC is mostly done for the day with decisions. i confess i don't understand why decisions are dribbled out - it's just as easy, if not easier, to do them all at once, if you're sending form emails for rejections or whatever, no?

Yes, that's what it looks like. I wish they did them all together so I could at least KNOW for certain, even if it is a rejection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quesillo Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Hey folks. This is my first time posting. I'm the University of Delaware admit on the results board. I wanted to let y'all know I accidentally flipped my Q and V GRE scores, and I'm not really sure how to edit that. Congrats to everyone on all of these amazing acceptances! This is such a nice community. lyonessrampant and jhefflol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
