The dynamics of this relationship is such that I feel that even feeling bad about this just shows that there is something wrong with me. There are some professors who will never like us. I think it's tempting to seek a professor's approval, but I try to resist that temptation. It's tough, and I don't think there's anything particularly wrong with you for wanting to be accepted. rheya19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Last_Thylacine Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I was looking up old acceptances, and someone who was rejected from -redacted- posted that he found a video of the admissions committee handling his application: Dysexlia, Ibycus, Schopenhauerfanboy and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dysexlia Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Just came here to say that I had a happy/stress dream last night that I got wait-listed at Harvard. That is all. isostheneia, mano and Ibycus 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is all. On a similar note, I dreamt a couple nights ago that Western University had accepted me to a PhD program, but not in philosophy. I was accepted to one of those quirky programs like underwater basket weaving. Guess I know what my backup should be. Dysexlia and mano 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the silence that's especially annoying—especially as these programs have released decisions around this time in years past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nichi Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I heard Arizona is predicted for Tuesday or Thursday this week. Portal says notifications either way will be via email. Today is Thursday. Ibycus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
753982 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I got kind of excited by an email in my spam folder this morning, but when I checked it, it was just some silly email asking me if I'd want to get paid to take notes in classes! sleepingsusurrus, Tecumseh Valley and Ibycus 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts&Chloroform Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Has anyone heard from WUSTL? They're the earliest-predicted of my applications, having been predicted to send out notifications yesterday, and I'm checking my email pretty much constantly in anticipation...

Coconuts&Chloroform Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 (edited) Anyone else starting to wish they had applied to more programs this year - not because they'd go, but just so that they could have heard back from somebody by now?
