tourist Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 So other than Yale bringing down the hammer, who do you guys think will notify this week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueandBuff Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 For everyone who was turned down by Yale (I wasn't one of them, since I didn't apply), the following link should make you feel better: Yale video Any college that completely lacking in self-awareness doesn't deserve you :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swissmiss Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 (edited) For those who have received a response (acceptance) via phone from professors, how long after that did you receive an official acceptance email?

Caligula Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Haha I saw that video a few weeks ago and it has only heightened my desire to attend Yale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longshanks Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I concur. Last year Harvard sent out acceptances this week, and rejections next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subrosa Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I hear Harvard has been privately communicating with likely candidates for a while now. My guess is official announcements will be out in the next day or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tourist Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Maybe Berkeley this week? If it is this week, then it would be a good sign. Later, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeLight Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I must say, while I agree with the substance of what you say, I don't like your attitude. Maybe because you're "already attending" you feel that you have wisdom to impart, but I believe that we are all aware of how competitive the academic world is. The constant refrain of dubious statistics warning us all of our impending failure is not really constructive, and it's not original either. That said, I think most of us realize that we are not guaranteed any kind of success. It's difficult enough to put yourself out there, put your best foot forward etc. without having to contend with the condescension of others. funny, that. because my tone was in direct response to the derisive, insulting, short-sighted, arrogant, condescending attitudes a good number of the posters in this thread have had regarding the presumed defects of anyone that gets a rejection letter. so i am glad to hear that my attitude offended you, because it was intended to. i was really, genuinely offended, and while my response comes a few pages/days late, i stand by it. it was also meant to be comical and take the edge off for people. as in, "don't sweat it, we all have plenty of opportunity to fail." i suppose i need to litter my posts with emoticons for that to come across in text. cm125, Qin Shi Huandi, Sparky and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outlawesq Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Has anyone else heard from Duke? There's been a couple of acceptances & rejections. Why dont they do all the rejections at once & put me out of my misery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cm125 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 My money is on Cornell and Harvard. Just curious, is that a guess/hunch, or based on something you heard? Looking at last year's results it appears that Cornell won't get going until the 19th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustChill Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Based on the results page, UPenn should be getting ready to get the word out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at last year's results it appears that Cornell won't get going until the 19th. Actually, my friend was notified by Cornell 13 Feb last year. I just wasn't in a position to add that result on my friend's behalf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goober Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 According to previous years' results, we should hear from Illinois this week too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nytusse Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Is anyone else getting increasingly terrified to check their inboxes? This is a scary week: emphatic acceptances and equally emphatic NOs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustChill Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 The vast majority of my programs notify next week, so I'm gonna be a lot more anxious/scared then, I think. I haven't heard a peep from any of my schools in the past few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tourist Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Thank the man up there for the blissfully psychotic innocence of Ween and Butthole Surfers, who have helped during these anxious times. Nothing quite like getting lost for a moment. Everyone should find something of the sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperstreet Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Based on past years, it seems that Penn notified people just through their website. I wonder if they send out emails, or we'll just have to furiously check the website every minute next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I understand that! I was in an irritable mood, for my part. You're right to suggest that we shouldn't be so intense, and that we shouldn't beat ourselves up if we're rejected.
