I mean, for god's sake, Chicago's whole claim to fame is to make all their acceptances at once, right? So....isn't that the same as rejecting everyone else at once? Would it kill them not to take two weeks to write a generic email and send it out via the online application? It seems so inconsiderate. bechkafish 1

Most institutions are extremely inconsiderate when it comes to notifying rejected apps.
PorchlightPhilosopher Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 They probably don't want to send out rejections before their spots are all filled. That way, if too many of those whom they accept go elsewhere, they can still make late offers.

The idea of being accepted anywhere sounds so great, I forget that people actually turn down some offers for others! By the way, does anyone know why the dates are so weird on the results page? It is definitely still Feb. 6 where I am, but results from Feb. 7 have already been posted? And I've noticed that this happened a couple times before. It's like nighttime rolls around on the east coast, and the results page starts showing results for the next day.
Ulixes Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 Gosh darn it. I seem to be getting more telemarketers since turning in applications. I see an unknown number, get excited, google the zipcode, and then get super bummed. The same goes for emails; each little 'ding' of my inbox takes me through the whole range of excitement, disappointment, and then resentment at whoever sent me a non-application-related email. offyerhst, philosophe and Siegfried42 3

Like they signed me up for their spam once they decided on who their acceptances were.
