Pygmalion Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) No, it was me not a troll. I've received a mail from the department an hour ago. (It is 5 A.M here, but who cares?)

What I think is even better is the 3.00 in the Writing section of the GRE that apparently is enough to get into Boson University. That seems to be a very low ranked school That post has been now deleted... But this comment is rude and disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wqndy Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I confirm a UIUC waitlist, and this is the first notification I received by now. As far as I know from the email, UIUC's first round of admissions had been completed. So if you receive no notification, you are at least not selected in the first round.

It's okay cause I'm not so offended. It was my "bottom" choice and I also acknowledge that they would not be the "real places" for most applicants. I just want to say that judging an argument (and a department) with mere GRE writing score is definitely not a good choice, especially if you are going to be a graduate student. wqndy and resDQ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't mocking Boston University. They're making fun of Boson University, which was a made up school with made up stats by a troll trying to make a funny. And so, they were referring to the the fake stats as funny because, if they were real, they would likely have indicated a not-so-great school as it would not have been very competitive.

But based on results section, looks like there are two Theory acceptances claimed here, plus your American acceptance, making 3 accounted acceptances (they seem like they took 7 or so last year)... am I doing the math right here?
