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!

Finally received my Columbia rejection. Just out of curiosity, was anyone forwarded to the Master's program?

If you don't mind my asking, when did you apply?

that Columbia rejection felt like a slow impending apocalypse that just refused to get here...

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...

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! :D)

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.)

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...wink.gif )!

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!

Oh thanks man. I am finally relieved, now that I won't have to sit home and apply next year. Plus, the night life of NYC will make up for all the pain of this process I hope :D

Hey, see? I knew you would make it somewhere! Congratulations! And now the hard work begins!

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.

:). Glad to hear that you don't have to move in with your parents again ;). Maybe we'll meet some day in New York.

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?

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.

Anyway, I agree it will be the final week before this board goes into hibernation for the next six months *nostalgic*

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...

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.
