what_is_the_mind Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Haven't heard anything back, applied to 12. On edge. I'm assuming if I haven't heard a peep from Berkeley or Chicago, then it is an implied rejection? AmandaEvans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Applied to 15 and haven't heard a single thing from anyone--on edge would be an understatement. what_is_the_mind 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the bright note, I got two emails saying my paper was selected to present at two undergraduate conferences in the next two months! Helps with my deflated self-esteem and fragmented sanity... Good luck to you! machineghost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming if I haven't heard a peep from Berkeley or Chicago, then it is an implied rejection? As a fellow unconacted UChicago applicant, I regret to say that yes, we're likely rejected if we haven't heard by now. Chicago doesn't waitlist, so there's no real second chance there. Berkeley might be a different story, though... You might still have a shot for the waitlist. what_is_the_mind 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
502845824 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Accepted to Virginia! Five year funding package (fellowship + TAing)! Will likely accept (top choice), but not until I hear back from 12 others (or 10, if you discount Duke and Chicago as presumed rejects). I promise not to keep any waitlisted too long if they end up on waitlist. On another note: HOLY SHIT! I'M ONLY A 21 YEAR OLD UNDERGRAD! HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!?! I'm genuinely surprised. I thought I'd get shut out. philosophe, frege-bombs, isostheneia and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every acceptance you get is an affirmation of your qualifications. Knowing that multiple schools see your skill and want you to study with them goes a long way, even if you have every intention of accepting Virginia's offer.

I don't know why this happened, but I distinctly remember my first feedback at all last year being a letter. I want to say it was Duke, but I honestly cannot remember.

bechkafish Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I checked the survey results on my phone in bed, and (1) saw that BC had accepted someone via snail mail, (2) realized it was 4pm, (3) remembered that my mail comes at 3:30 on the dot, and (4) scrambled out of bed to check the mail so fast that I upended several animals in the process. Turns out there was nothing there but credit card statements and junk mail, which is probably some kind of metaphor for my life in general. But anyway, no, I applied to Johns Hopkins a few years back and they sent their rejection () via snail mail, too. gughok 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
