pablo Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Did you explicitly get an acceptance? Someone else posted a similar story about a fellowship nomination a few weeks ago, but they hadn't been accepted yet. It was an acceptance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curufinwe Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Great, seems like NYU sent acceptances as a mass mail, and I didn't get anything. 2 rejections, no acceptances... awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APGradApplicant Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 Well, great day on my end. Emory rejection went from likely to official! Oh well, I'd have taken Davis over it anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuddenlyParanoid Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I am claiming it. Congratulations! It would be awesome to live in NYC. Put me down as another Berkeley admit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tan Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I called the University of Chicago to find out when their admission week-end is (not that I have reason to think I'm in, I'm just trying to do some minimal planning as to when I might travel in case I get good news). I was told it was March 12th. And I was also told... decisions could come "within the next day or so". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APGradApplicant Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 Btw- here is text of Emory reject Thank you for your inquiry, I apologize for the delay in replying. Decision notifications from the Graduate School will be sent via email on Friday, however I can tell you that we will not be able to offer you admission. The applicant pool this year was not only extraordinarily competitive, but also considerably larger than recent years. We received 150 applications to fill only five slots available to us. I regret that we will not be able to find a place for you in this fall’s entering class. We sincerely appreciate your interest in Emory and wish you success in your academic career.

curufinwe Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Who is claiming the Northwestern acceptance that was posted right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anxiousmike Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I'm really starting to freak out about my chances. I thought applying to 13 schools would give me a decent chance to get in somewhere, but as I look through my emails (think Tina Slater's we have 393 applicants this year...) I'm starting to think it will be nearly impossible for me to get in anywhere. Ugh. end vent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Sorry to be a pest, but was the email from a professor or from the department? Thanks! No worries -- sorry, I'm having a busy day. It was from a professor. Congrats to all the Berkeley and NYU acceptances! I haven't heard from them and so assume I didn't get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunuwyn Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Found out unofficially that I have been wait-listed at FSU. So if any of you out there got in and don't want to go please let them know so that I can hopefully pass down their offer for a better one later Bobb Cobb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tan Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 (edited) Who is claiming the Northwestern acceptance that was posted right now? I posted that, curufinwe. I received it just an hour ago or so, which came as a (very good!) surprise as I thought they were done accepting. pablo, Berkeley did tell someone else who contacted them that they would sent out their emails over the course of a few days (see a few pages up), so good news could still come.

pablo Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Congrats to you, too! Minnesota, right? That's great department. Don't despair about Berkeley! Last year, they did about half of their acceptances one day, and half the next, so we could get lucky tomorrow! But even if you don't hear good news, you have an excellent acceptance in your hand, so don't worry about it. Thanks, I'm psyched about Minnesota! Best of luck everyone.

qazwerty Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 (edited) I wonder how the size of their applicant pool compares to others in the top 25-30, and if that "larger than recent years" applies to most places. I don't have proof, but I would think it might be the case. I spoke to professors at other schools and in different departments conversationally (business, econ, polisci) and the words "record numbers" were often used.
