earlymodernist Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Rockchalk, I'm sorry to hear about OSU...It's a terrible year to apply and I don't think it is in anyway reflective of your abilities as an historian. If you wouldn't mind, how did you receive your notification? Did you e-mail the grad secretary, or did they e-mail you? I haven't received my rejection yet, but I'm expecting it any time now....

Emailed the grad coordinator. You could do the same. It seems that they think they sent out their notifications, and either no one has told them that they didn't go through, or something like that. It's strange. Right now, I'm just holding out that people that got into Brandeis also got into other schools, and they'll go to those other schools. Not much else I can do, asides from go on a bender. Maybe after thesis writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The graduate coordinator told me that I should have been received notification of my acceptance and I stated I had not received anything from them. There seems to have been some breakdown in the process. Edited February 27, 2010 by Kai210 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Encomendero Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Yes, I noticed that as well. The graduate coordinator told me that I should have been received notification of my acceptance and I stated I had not received anything from them. There seems to have been so breakdown in the process. I dont think the faculty and the administrative staff are on the same page. Maybe next week...

Maybe after thesis writing. For what it's worth, I was admitted to Brandeis and I'm still waiting to hear from my dream school. If I get in I'll take the offer, so that would free up a spot for you.

tourist Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 So mr or ms who got accepted at NYU, congratulations. Did you go to the prospectives weekend or not? Was the email from a professor or a standard acceptance email? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longshanks Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Contra any previous word, Harvard is indeed sending out official rejections now; I got mine today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nytusse Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Contra any previous word, Harvard is indeed sending out official rejections now; I got mine today. What part of the country are you in? I'm assuming New England, based on the schools you applied to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longshanks Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 What part of the country are you in? I'm assuming New England, based on the schools you applied to. Yes, I live about 10 miles from Harvard. My letter is dated Feb. 26. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nytusse Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Yes, I live about 10 miles from Harvard. My letter is dated Feb. 26. Ugh. I'd much rather get an email rejection than wait for a mailbox full of bad news on Monday. Out of curiosity, have you heard from UNH? I wonder how their funding situation is this year.

cgking Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I got my Harvard rejection today, too... funny, I got a form letter from Harvard (not a peep from my PAs, who seemed really enthusiastic in the fall)... and I got into Columbia with full funding. Admissions really is such a crapshoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
American in Beijing Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I got my Harvard rejection today, too... funny, I got a form letter from Harvard (not a peep from my PAs, who seemed really enthusiastic in the fall)... and I got into Columbia with full funding. Admissions really is such a crapshoot. Lol, it totally is! Professors will even admit it too! A good friend of mine got into Oxford, but then rejected by her no-name safety school. You just have no way to tell! I figure getting into grad school is practically like winning the lottery; winning it twice (or even once) is already unbelievable. Winning it four, five, six times? That's just statistically improbable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goober Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Just found out I got accepted to UF, but am on the wait-list for funding..Anybody out there planning on rejecting their funded offer from them? I, too, would gladly send beers!!! I will up the ante and send a case if you make my year! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockEater Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I think this is going to have to become a standard. If you do something that makes grad school/funding accessible to someone else, you get beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nytusse Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 For those still waiting on Michigan, as expected, I got my rejection email just now. I might conceivably get THREE rejections today! Good thing I already knew Michigan was done with admits, so it wasn't all that sad. I'm sick of reading the words, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing I already knew Michigan was done with admits, so it wasn't all that sad. I'm sick of reading the words, though. I also got a rejection from Michigan. No big surprise there, and not remotely upset. I have been accepted at Ohio State, and the program is a better fit. And my top choice is still outstanding so I am good with the decision.

Doesn't that violate some sort of universal law? I'm surprised a gravitational singularity hasn't opened beneath your feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
