yanicus Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 Congrats to all the Cornell admits from someone one the waitlist? I do love the irony of it taking a while to get to Ithaca, if that's where one's supposed to go, although I really hope it doesn't last for years

I don't see any but also I am tired and loopy Edit: also how did you get your waitlist notification? Email? TY! Edited February 15, 2017 by shoestofollow

Maybe there's a communications mix-up?

shoestofollow Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 I don't have anything on my admissions portal for Cornell. I guess this means rejection :(
yanicus Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 Ugh I'm sorry I shouldn't have posted anything then
piers_plowman Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 I'm in at Cornell! Totally random website check after seeing the posters here. No email yet (although I assume that's coming). Definitely check the portal if you haven't, and best of luck to everyone! ProfessionalNerd and claritus 2

Yanaka Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 Do you guys know if we had to go to a different website to see our NYU application status?

biyutefulphlower Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 Congrats to all the folks in at Cornell! I did my undergrad work there and love, love, loved it. (It was fun being an English major surrounded by engineers and future doctors.) My information may be a little out of date as far as faculty are concerned, but be sure to invest in long johns and wool socks if you plan to brave the Ithaca winters! Oh, and beware of salt stains on your jeans. I have vivid memories of salt stains up my calves.

They said I'm number one on the list, so I really hope that in the MA program that lit funding can slide over to rhet/comp! Apparently it does! I have funding for graduate school! I can go!

SB is the last of my top three programs that I'm waiting to hear from before I really start trying to narrow down my options. Congratulations to all of the Cornell acceptances today! Man...when I logged on to check the results page, it was just a TON of Cornell news!
yanicus Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 Oh man oh man oh man I just got call from my co-dream-school (it's prudent to have two). AHHH I'M FREAKING OUT

I haven't heard anything about visits... maybe that info will come sooner? Do you know anything about it? I would like to see it. I've never been to Nebraska. Maybe visits are only for PhD and not for MA (Also we can totally switch to PMs so we don't crowd this thread with Nebraska, if you like).

Oh I learned my lesson about not posting specifics so people aren't made more sad or anxious about their applications. We're all in this boat together, and I know how non-functioning I've been in the past couple of weeks, so I'd rather not publicize yet (especially because of the awfulness of implied rejections).

Congratulations man. I was told that I am "high" on the list. I assume now that you've got your funding I'm higher. =D *fingers crossed*

You should go ahead and post Yanicus, this is supposed to be a celebratory thread! And anyway, the reason we check results boards is because we'd rather an implied rejection than limbo. Btw if the Princeton offer is you: 1. Congratulations, and 2. I'm already a hot mess and I dare say so are the others still waiting so no harm having your moment!
shoestofollow Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Yes @yanicus! We are all anxious but we are all also happy for each other!!
