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!!

Plus the only recent over the phone results are Princeton so I kinda just assumed anyway. Also, same Caien, like hot mess doesn't even describe it
Katara Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Maybe it's Valentine's Day, or maybe it's the ridiculously expensive application fee, but CUNY limbo has me all in a tizzy -- so much so that I created an account to commiserate with others. Acceptances, waitlists, and now a rejection notified, but still nothing for some of us. ???
yanicus Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) It wasn't me who posted on the results page, but yes I did get a call from Princeton! More importantly, thank you guys so much for being so supportive - actually, as someone who had a long winding path to getting here (won't get into details), it means a lot to me to feel welcomed and validated in the wonderful English community, both all of you here and also all the incredible people I've talked to and met in this journey.

Congratulations! That's a huge deal! Was it Prof Rivett who phoned you? Right @phoebusrising!? I've worked out that in the past they've spread calls over 2 days, and seeing as its past midnight here if I were to get in they wouldn't call me now. So part of my brain is telling me to go to sleep as I won't know until tomorrow either way, another part is like 'sleep? lol no', and another part is like god you're such a fool for hoping you'll be accepted to Princeton... phoebusrising and jackdacjson 2
Peppermint&Rooibos Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Just got into UVa! Received a really lovely phone call from their DGS. Totally and utterly shocked! engphiledu, Caien, cypressknee and 4 others 7

Well that actually makes me feel a bit better, that they spread their calls, I didn't know that/notice that, like all hope is not yet lost (I'm hanging on to a very very tiny bit of it but lbr I'm fully expecting for it to be crushed). I know exactly that feeling, like always thinking like you applied because you believe in yourself and that you're good enough and yet at the same time being like lol yeah right Edited February 16, 2017 by phoebusrising
imogenshakes Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Fantastic news, @yanicus and @Peppermint&Rooibos! Those of you who haven't heard...hang in there. There's still time. It's only mid-February! Peppermint&Rooibos 1
