plisar Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Sure they CAN be sent from home, but would they? Who knows, really. Without a doubt, yes they would, and yes they have. It's not an issue of who knows, it's an issue of who is doing the notifying...
serotonin_addict Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 No mail from Princeton here as well...
ladedodaday Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 I hope its not a hoax, actually...at least that way we would all hear by the end of today/tomorrow... ...and it would also mean that some crazy person isn't sitting there typing entry after entry for the better part of an hour... I agree. It'd be nice to hear, regardless of the outcome. It's also sort of sad to imagine someone who actually enjoys writing false gradcafe postings. Get a hobby (or a job)!

Rory Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 (edited) Well, it looks as if the prankster has achieved his desired effect. also screwing up the info for next years group of applicants....hopefully some admins will clean up the results board.... Edited February 11, 2010 by Rory
bacata55 Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Who is that Yale rejection?? Who is that Yale acceptance??
brewski Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Who is that Yale rejection?? How rude, hoax people/person! The Princeton ones especially have to be fake, if no one on here is claiming the decisions, and also because it's sooooooo early for them to be releasing their decisions, historically speaking. Although the one reject that mentions danette rivera is clever. Nice touch, hoax-ies. trollin' 1
Ziz Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Oh my god now they're doing the same thing for Yale. Don't people have better things to do with their time?? I think I believed Princeton because last year results were out on a Thursday and also it's only 1 week early which isn't unheard of.
It'sgonnabeme Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 How rude, hoax people/person! The Princeton ones especially have to be fake, if no one on here is claiming the decisions, and also because it's sooooooo early for them to be releasing their decisions, historically speaking. Although the one reject that mentions danette rivera is clever. Nice touch, hoax-ies. I did not apply to Yale but I've reached the point where I'm not going to buy into any posted results until someone here claims the decisions.
SuddenlyParanoid Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Sadly, I wouldn't trust any results that weren't also claimed on this thread. There are enough of us posting on this thread here that one of us should be rejected/accepted when decisions go out.

ridgey Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Speaking of weirdness on the results board, can anyone expand on the UPenn "other via other"? There was no other comment with it.
Ziz Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 I wonder why this is happening so much this year. I read through last year's thread and I don't remember seeing any "do you think it's a hoax?" messages. Surely last year's applicants were just as nervous/anxious as we are.
APGradApplicant Posted February 11, 2010 Author Posted February 11, 2010 Just got into Rice with $18k of funding/year for five years plus tuition waiver. Nice offer, not sure I'm gonna go, but nice offer...
Tan Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 As someone who has not applied to Princeton, and thus has no interest in lying to myself: I think we can safely say the Princeton results (and now the Yale results) are fake, so everyone should calm down. When Northwestern had 4 results posted last week, all of them also said who they were on the board; same with other schools I've been keeping track of closely. So the odds of 15 people hearing responses and none posting here? Zero. So every one breath!
SuddenlyParanoid Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 SuddenlyParanoid - Where you leaning at this point? University of Mars? I'm not sure. I'm trying to weigh placement, fit with department and possible advisors, and how much fun life at each school/city would be. I won't have time to visit everywhere probably so I'm going to have to make some cuts. And I'm still waiting for a few decisions.
Tan Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 That said, someone is really having fun, eh? Too bad some people have no other life than trying to make others upset.

Ziz Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 (edited) FYI one of the Yale responses has attached a username to it: politico33. I hope someone isn't impersonating someone else again. Edited to add: looked it up and the username doesn't even exist. Edited February 11, 2010 by Ziz
Aunuwyn Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Good news from Texas day! Not for me . Come on A&M! Daddy wants to come back home!!!!
APGradApplicant Posted February 11, 2010 Author Posted February 11, 2010 With regards to my top choice, Suddenly Paranoid, so far I would say it's hard to distinguish between FSU, UC-Davis, and UT-Austin. Will be visiting all three. Rice probably lags those three a tad, and then Georgia and Oklahoma run way behind (in fact, I probably need to, in a seperate post, get some advice on how to go about turning down their offers- do I do it when I've decided which offer to accept or do I do it earlier to help people on wait list but at the same time if asked where I'm going have to tell them that I haven't decided but I know you aren't it!?) Still need to hear whether I'm wait-listed at UNC (though very doubtful), as well as what Rochester, MIT, and Minnesota decide. So sadly, while I know the aforementioned schools are reaches, this process is far from over.

I hope someone isn't impersonating someone else again. Edited to add: looked it up and the username doesn't even exist. Sorry I didn't see your edit when I went to post. I didn't find the name either. I kind of wish the Yale ones were real just so we could get the waiting done with. Edited February 11, 2010 by anxiousapplicant
CrimsonBlue Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Once I hear back from Harvard PEG, Stanford, Princeton Political Economy and WashU Political Science I am going to be free! But, would I feel empty after all? I worry about feeling empty soon. I hope my thesis helps!
Ziz Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Haha yeah I worry about post-application depression too expensivemarket 1
