biyutefulphlower Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) On this thread, my next school is estimated to reply around the 16th or so. I'm preparing for another week of silence and cheering on folks in the acceptance thread.

I'm going to be looking at cute baby animal videos all day. Best of luck through the silence but who knows you may get a (good) surprise.

biyutefulphlower Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Good luck to you too @KikiDelivery!! Here's to good news all around. And baby animal videos sounds like a really good idea. (One of my favorites - Lazy Harp Seal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caien Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I really thought we'd hear from NYU today or yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theburiedgirl815 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Thanks for this! I've got NYU, Emory and Brown to wait for. These next few weeks are going to be nerve-wracking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogMan Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 My UMN application still reads FINAL REVIEW despite some others turning into DECISION MADE. I'll just patiently wait to see if this is good or bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm, like, bizarrely anxious that if I have the site open when it changes, it won't actually change, so I won't know if I got in. It makes no sense. and,vaster and jungThug 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessicaLange Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Has anyone actually contacted schools that they have implied rejections from? I assume that UChicago is a no, because they were giving out interviews and I didn't get one. But I don't really know the etiquette here. I don't want to pester them with an email, but I also feel weird about the lack of contact. jackdacjson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not now, not next week, not this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my personal projections (based on previous years), I had estimated NYU around March 1 because I mistakenly looked at the MA admits. Now that I realize it might be much sooner, I'm freaking out!

If I recall correctly, M.A. dates are done later at most institutions. Programs like to notify their PHD acceptances first than look through their applicants to see who they'd like to take on as MA students depending on funding.

I do know that U Chicago is settled (in my wait list email they said "the committee has completed their work"). But I think, yeah--in general, no news is probably just bad news (bye, Hopkins ).

theburiedgirl815 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Accepting the fact that my first choice is probably going to be a no as I haven't had a request for an interview and, from what I understand, that's pretty much a definite no, as they build their acceptances and wait-list candidates from their interviewees. It was a pretty long shot anyway. It sucks that I couldn't afford to apply to more places this cycle but at least I'll be in a better place financially to reapply this coming fall. (I know, nothing is certain yet but I'm growing pretty hopeless as the dates loom closer). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesleo Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Does anything ever really go out over the weekends? I assume that most emails/phones/website updates come during normal M-F business hours? Anybody know otherwise? (In other words, I can give my dangerously elevated heart rate a rest over the weekends and look to Monday for the latest adrenaline spike?)

I'd love to answer this with a no, but: someone last year got an acceptance on a Saturday. Lesleo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
