territhemayor Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Is there anything I should do once I get into a program? Duke sent me a welcome letter from the DGS. Should I respond with a thank you or just radio silence until I have something to say?

Should I respond with a thank you or just radio silence until I have something to say? either. I didn't respond to the first email sent out (took me a week to get over the shock that I was admitted somewhere), but have responded to all emails since with a simple "thank you, see you at the open house."

Honestly Monody, there is very little that should persuade you to choose PSU over Columbia. Columbia beats it by virtually every metric imaginable.

I looked on last years version of this topic and the person claiming it said that Columbia apologised and claimed they simply missed emailing the person when they were meant to. I don't know if they just said that or if we do still have hope :-/
Bibica Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Seems like today will be relatively silent. I guess the Midwest and West Coast schools are still on the table. How am I getting more impatient as this process goes on?

Jimjimjim Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Acceptances from Emory and Penn State, and also formal rejection from Duke = =.

I have friends who applied to many of the schools mentioned here and received acceptances weeks after a cluster of acceptances went out.

Better than my alternative fantasy that people haven't been responding to me because my application is so bad that they really see no need to reach out at all, lol. But honestly, it makes me wonder if someone is diverting my emails. I think I broke the refresh button. Mike_Novick and Bibica 2

Well, like someone else said, you got into Columbia. So it would be great (and this goes for all you other PSU admits!), if you don't think you'll accept, there are a lot of us (hint,hint) who might want your spot (hint, hint), so, um, like, try to tell them that soon-ish??? concrema 1
