Is your sub-field theory or something else?

I take it from this that you're also waiting for a reply? What's your subfield?

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?)

BU result is real. Trust me.

At least they know how to write Higgs-Boson... so, good for them!
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

But this comment is rude and disgusting.

I'm sorry if I offended you, but neither Higgs University nor Boson University are real places.

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.

No offense, but those were troll posts. There is nothing wrong with pointing out trolls for being trolls...

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.

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. 

 

EDIT: Am I feeding a troll now?

Congrats! That's amazing. 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?

 

Edit: I am also assuming that the previous Northwestern from over a week ago was a troll

Now that I know Northwestern results are coming out my productivity at work tomorrow will be zero. Who can focus on work when you can refresh your email instead?!
