Franzkafka Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 30 minutes ago, Naruto said: Last year on March 4, I emailed them to ask about my application status. They responded on April 15 to tell me that I was rejected. To my knowledge, they don't contact rejected applicants unless they ask about their application status. I noticed that this year so far, some people who contacted UConn were told that they were waitlisted, and at least one person received a rejection email. Last week, I contacted UConn, but they haven't responded yet. Maybe I'm on a waitlist for the waitlist??? Same here. I contacted them three weeks ago, but haven't received anything.

Nichi Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Well, negotiating is mildly less unpleasant than I expected. And by "negotiating" I mean "asking if the offer can be increased while acknowledging I don't want to play a negotiation game, can we please do this quickly and then talk about something pleasant like metaphysics".

Franzkafka Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 My final decision will be between Rice University and University of Missouri, Columbia. Any idea about choosing between those two, especially as a phil of mind/cog sci/neuroscience person? Thx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddystone Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Hello, I would like to ask what people think about the following conversation. Is A acting inappropriately? Is B's reaction natural? Thank you! A and B are in the cab, A will get off first. A: I think this is the last time I see you before (a conference). B: Yes, that might be the case. A: Good luck for me, then? B: (face-palm, clutch head, raise voice) This is unbelievable, unbelievable. This is not on. A: I only said, fingers crossed. What have I done wrong? B: You cannot tell people what to tell you! How can you do this? (to the cab driver: My friend will get off here.) (in an angry voice) Good luck. All the best. This is not on. A: Good night. (gets off) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concordia Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Sounds like B is having a bad day, which is possibly exaggerating a personality disorder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What prompted this question (since B is furious rather than loving)? I was thinking that one possibility was that B behaves passive-aggressively and that the situation in the cab was one where B finally lost it (for no reason). I have no idea what the context is, but I thought of romantic feelings because they sometimes explain otherwise inexplicable behaviors. Again, I don't know what the context is and it was just an idea. To return to your original question, A does not seem to have acted inappropriately. And I hope that A gets over this soon. muddystone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
