isostheneia Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 I figured it's about time to make a separate acceptance thread. Also, looks like somebody just put up a Duke wait list result. I didn't apply to Duke, but others who did may have new info now!
psm1580b Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 I applied to Duke. No email yet and no status to report on their website. isostheneia 1
PreciselyTerrified Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Does anyone know if schools ever notify waitlisters before accepted students? I would imagine not. #pregamingrejection
PreciselyTerrified Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Now is when I shorten my signature line to spare my face from the eggs later... L13 and overoverover 2
ianfaircloud Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Does anyone know if schools ever notify waitlisters before accepted students? I would imagine not. #pregamingrejection Yes, many of them have done so. Much of the time a professor is simply given a list of waitlist and acceptances and told to call or email each person separately on the list. Profs don't much care which order in which they notify. The result is that wait-lists go out with acceptances. But your instinct is roughly correct: Generally, wait-lists follow acceptances. And generally, rejections follow both.

The Pedanticist Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Does anyone know if schools ever notify waitlisters before accepted students? I would imagine not. #pregamingrejection They might. There are a lot of schools that don't know what the funding situation will look like next year. It's a possibility. PreciselyTerrified 1
PreciselyTerrified Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Ian, you're at Penn? I live in Philadelphia. My husband teaches at Penn.
ianfaircloud Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Ian, you're at Penn? I live in Philadelphia. My husband teaches at Penn. We should connect. Would you send me a message privately on this site?
Nastasya_Filippovna Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Well looks like someone is going to U. Cincinnati! NathanKellen, reixis and isostheneia 3
reixis Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 There is also an acceptance from Ohio State. Someone posted an acceptance from Duke too, but it's one day later than the previous wait-list post. Maybe those who checked their status and didn't see any update might want to have another look. isostheneia and NathanKellen 2
psm1580b Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Now is when I shorten my signature line to spare my face from the eggs later... Well shit. PreciselyTerrified and brettmullga 2
Franzkafka Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Well looks like someone is going to U. Cincinnati! Yep, I also applied to Cincinnati but I have not got any email, it seems that I am out.
Nastasya_Filippovna Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Northwestern acceptance up. and it was not mine!
overoverover Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 and it was not mine! Sorry to hear that, NF. It's only the start of the acceptance season! reixis 1
Nastasya_Filippovna Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Sorry to hear that, NF. It's only the start of the acceptance season! haha thank you! you know how there is a comments section on the acceptance page- I'm surprised that for Northwestern there aren't some "WOOHOOS" or something- thats a big deal school! isostheneia 1
Euromaniac Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 There were acceptances over three days last year, it seems. Fingers crossed...
sidevans Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 There were acceptances over three days last year, it seems. Fingers crossed... True. It does take professors some time to send out emails, especially if they're personalized. So there is still some hope. But I would expect all admitted students to receive an email by the end of this week, if not sooner (excluding those who are later admitted off the wait list).
overoverover Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Someone got into Northwestern and said "Woohoo", so I know it has to be one of you folks! kant_get_in, Nastasya_Filippovna and reixis 3
Franzkafka Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 I applied to Duke. No email yet and no status to report on their website. Me too, really frustrated.
mano Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 northwestern? I hope that you will get some good news from others.
Euromaniac Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 northwestern? I hope that you will get some good news from others. Yeah, thanks!
LennyBound Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Should we also make an official "rejection thread"? Perhaps we should try to keep all of the depressing news compartmentalized from the good. Doing this will also enable us to print out a copy of the thread after admissions season is over and have a public burning of it. a_for_aporia, Hcarp, LennyBound and 2 others 5
