Me: "Duh, but it's not up to me to decide now." This is by far the most interesting thing I have heard in my entire life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhombusbombus Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) update on my penn state eff up: told my graduate coordinator about the mix up. she asked for my transcript. Maybe it wasn't such a big deal since she didn't even mention it in her email to me. wtf? i guess i'll see where funding goes. worse case scenario, i withdraw my app. best case scenario: i go there!

Pink Fuzzy Bunny Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 No, for fake emails, I win on this front. One of my professors emailed me to ask if I could cover for a TA in one of his classes. Just to mess with me, the subject line of the email was "Admission to Cornell University". knp, amayadoli, psychgal2112 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. I... don't have words for that. It's nice that he jokes around with you, but man. When you TA for him, you should send an email "Student test scores" and have an excel file or whatever that just has the first 100 boxes filled with the word Cornell. Or maybe not. But argh, that's infuriating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty amazing. I would laugh so hard I cried. And then cry for real. :-) Cornell is a great place to be (except when there is snow...). I miss Gimme! Coffee something fierce.

haltheincandescent Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 (edited) I was out for happy hour with coworkers (in part to stop thinking about the interviews from this week, which, still no word on those), but, while there I got my second acceptance! Yay, Vanderbilt! Edit: and the captcha thing for when I was submitting my results to the board was..... "Yale." (is this a sign? [it was literally a road sign, too] or does this happen all the time? [the last one i did was just a string of numbers]. ?? ) Edited January 30, 2016 by haltheincandescent RCtheSS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCtheSS Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Thanks everyone! It feels to great knowing that I got into one program. I'm officially attending a graduate school program this fall! But the wining, waiting and whining continues for the rest... and that's where delicious alcohol comes in to save the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Need Coffee in an IV Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 My boyfriend went out to get cookies, he is awesome! He's been through this process so he can relate! He decided grad school wasn't for him. So I've been exposed to pros and cons about this process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acciodoctorate Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Anyone else still in the crippling anxiety stage of waiting? Six of my programs sent out some sort of notification this week, and I only heard from one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
