Shere Khan Posted March 13, 2010 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shere Khan Posted March 13, 2010 Share 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 Share 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, brouhaha, interista and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whistler Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 (edited) curufinwe, congratulations! by the way, I just received my JHU rejection.

tomorrows verse Posted March 14, 2010 Share 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 Share 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... bassdude and Concentration 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'sgonnabeme Posted March 15, 2010 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It'sgonnabeme Posted March 15, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
