la_mod Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Does anyone know why those Penn acceptances are missing on the results board?

Zelda Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Ok, whomever posted the Trump University acceptance--you win today! Literally laughing & made me so happy when I normally have so much anxiety looking at that survey page! la_mod, JessicaLange, TeaOverCoffee and 3 others 6

Avalanched Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Do we know if Yale is done notifying their lucky applicants?

Too good - needed that today. 1 minute ago, Avalanched said: Do we know if Yale is done notifying their lucky applicants? Probably, although I'm retaining a (tiny) bit of hope because I applied to one of the joint programs (Renaissance studies) which I'm fantasizing may take longer because the apps have to clear two committees.

Yanaka Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 I see the Trump joke has inspired someone else than me
kurayamino Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 To provide closure for those waiting on Rutgers, I learned today that all admissions and waitlists have been sent out. Sorry to those of you who didn't get in :(:( TeaOverCoffee, jungThug and Dr. Old Bill 3
KikiDelivery Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 Today has been rather slow... I am caught in the situation that according to gradcafe, my remaining schools do not notify until Late February / Early March. There's a big gap between my early acceptances and the later ones, and I need to restrain myself from making impulsive decisions. Sleam 1

It's funny -- I've been in a couple PMs with other GCers and we've all said the exact same thing: it's hard not to just commit to one program (even if we only have one and are waitlisted elsewhere...) and be done with it. But as I always say...it's best to respect the process and just wait it out. It's more vexing, but it makes the most sense. #adulting Sleam, Warelin and KikiDelivery 3

cloudyword Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 I got an email from UBC yesterday, saying that the GC has offered me an admission. My first acceptance, hooray! Though I'm still waiting for other result turnouts, I've started to consider accepting this offer. (Only if the costs were not so intimidating!) KikiDelivery, Abyss21, engphiledu and 5 others 8

I'm the other UBC acceptance a few days ago, and I've started to consider it too! The costs, while still more than I'd prefer, are honestly less than I expected. Probably because I have American private tuition as a benchmark in my head since I did my undergrad somewhere that was like $24k per semester (if I hadn't had crazy scholarships and grants) and UBC is still less than half that per year. It's also pretty much the best fit for my research interest given the Oecologies group, so I'm pretty stoked about it.
Dr. Old Bill Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 And let's not forget...Vancouver is really beautiful! For what it's worth, UBC is out of frame, but not far to the left of this image, basically on its own peninsula. KikiDelivery, angel_kaye13 and eadwacer 3
rimeroyal Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 Congrats to the UBC crowd! Still waiting to hear from them, but I'm not holding my breath. Good to know responses are finally going out this though! ^^ Abyss21 1
zombiekeats Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 Congratulations and good luck to anyone still waiting! Has anyone heard anything from Columbia yet, or anything concrete from Michigan?

I've seen a lot of them were informal offers with a formal offer to follow this week--I'm using it as a reason to hold out hope for waitlist, and not just strike them off my list :/ brontebitch 1

Abyss21 Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 Congrats @cloudyword and @eadwacer on the UBC acceptances! Vancouver is a beautiful city. Just to double-check, were your acceptances for the MA or the PhD program? I applied to the PhD program but I heard they only took 4 people last year so it's quite a competitive institution.
erosanddust Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 Congrats on all the recent good news! As a Vancouverite who very seriously considered attending UBC for my MA, I'm especially excited to see those acceptances. It's a wonderful department. Dr. Old Bill 1
