Shere Khan Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 Rejected by Columbia, accepted by CUNY. Interestingly with an "Enhanced Chancellor’s Fellowship"(18'000 USD), even though some posters here said that they only offer fellowships after one has already accepted the admission... Will presumably have to decline politely, so somebody else will get a chance. Good luck!
Lozen Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 Finally received my Columbia rejection. Just out of curiosity, was anyone forwarded to the Master's program?

arka Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 that Columbia rejection felt like a slow impending apocalypse that just refused to get here...
Shere Khan Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 If you don't mind my asking, when did you apply? I think I finished the online part sometime before Christmas last year, and sent the paper version off in the first or second week of January...
curufinwe Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 (edited) Official rejection from Columbia, not that I had any hopes anyway. Though I just received an e-mail from CUNY. I am in. (FINALLY SOMEWHERE TO GO FOR ME! ) I have a question about the wording of the e-mail though. "I am pleased to notify you that you will soon be offered admission to our program. I am also especially pleased to inform you that you will also be offered an Enhanced Chancellor’s Fellowship" That "will be offered" means "you will receive the official letter soon", right? (god I hope thats the case.) Edited March 13, 2010 by curufinwe thatsnotmyname, NEPA, trlux and 4 others 7

(god I hope thats the case.) Congrats! I knew you'd find success at some point or another in this grueling process. And double congrats for waiting longer than almost any of us without ripping your hair out (as far as I know... )! It sounds like "soon be offered" is a mere formality. It means either the letter is in the mail or, alternatively, what they do at many places is the department "recommends" you for admission to the office of graduate admissions, which then officially signs off. However, this is nothing but a dumb formality in the process. Never does grad admissions then reject the department's recommendation. So yeah, hope that helps answer your question some and once again, congrats on your admission! Edited March 13, 2010 by APGradApplicant

Plus, the night life of NYC will make up for all the pain of this process I hope

whistler Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 (edited) curufinwe, congratulations! by the way, I just received my JHU rejection. Apparently, if you haven't heard from them yet, it is very unlikely to get a positive response. Edited March 13, 2010 by whistler
Shere Khan Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 Though I just received an e-mail from CUNY. I am in. (FINALLY SOMEWHERE TO GO FOR ME! ) . Glad to hear that you don't have to move in with your parents again . Maybe we'll meet some day in New York.
tomorrows verse Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 Many congrats to curufinwe! I also received my rejection from JHU today (via the mail). Just waiting on a decision from Brandeis now. Anyone else likely heading to UMass in the fall?
allevolve Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 I received my UMD rejection late last night. Email sent me to the website.
anxiousapplicant Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 I received my UMD rejection late last night. Email sent me to the website. Don't let it get you down, allevolve, I am certain something is going to come through for you.
tomorrows verse Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 For those of us still waiting on Brandeis. It seems most plausible that we will hear from them this week. Their spring break is from March 29-April 6, and I assume they would like to get this done before that, especially since most of us only have until April 15 to decide.
curufinwe Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 Thanks everyone for your support. Hehe I am not sure if I will take this offer, Brandeis or GWU seems like a better option for now. We'll see... Concentration and bassdude 1 1

gravityflyer Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 Speaking of visits, looks like UCSB just announced their new admit day. Anyone else going? I know there were a couple of UCSB admits on this forum...
Keller65 Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 No love for the bear? A happy coincidence that admit season winds down as March Madness gears up.
It'sgonnabeme Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 Did you create the PSJR bear? Or did you bearnap him? The PSJR bear preceded Keller65. Hence, either the Bear created Keller65, which is quite improbable, or they're not related in any systematic way.
It'sgonnabeme Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 (edited) I say the Bear created Keller65. The Bear is omnipotent. "Omnipresent" is more like it Edited March 15, 2010 by It'sgonnabeme SuddenlyParanoid 1
Keller65 Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 Given the origins of pedobear, it would certainly be just for me to bearnap him.
anxiousapplicant Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 How did the pedophile identity come about anyway? Dare I ask?
