hector549 Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 No rejections yet, but when they start, here's a place for 'em.
majorshake Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Someone reported a Yale rejection - details please??? The_Last_Thylacine and Dialectica 2

It would make sense if, say, s/he found out via the application website/portal, but it indicates that this was via email. But that's very early, and with no other such reports, it doesn't seem legit.

Agreed. Plus, a quick look back at previous years seems to reveal that Yale rejections come all (or nearly all) at once, sometime in the beginning of March. But then again, who really knows.
Sam Anscombe Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 If anyone wants to message me privately (and anonymously) to confirm the Yale rejection, feel free.
hector549 Posted January 29, 2017 Author Posted January 29, 2017 Rejected by Northwestern. Received my email this morning.

Swann Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 (edited) Yep. Same. rejection. I was really hoping for NW Edited January 29, 2017 by Swann
BLESW Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 Same here; got a rejection for NW. Thought I had a chance. It's my first rejection; let's see how many more are coming.
MNethe1 Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 Also got my rejection from NW today, but at least it wasn't a surprise.
Sam Anscombe Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) I have an update on the Yale rejection. On the blog, the person who posted the rejection commented, "I mistakenly entered Philosophy in The Grad Cafe survey although I had been rejected from the German department. I was unable to change my mistake. Sorry!" Edited January 30, 2017 by Sam Anscombe Bryterlayter, matchamatcha, Naruto and 3 others 6
Dialectica Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 The new Brown notification is confusing. Anyone want to claim it and clear it up? I'm assuming it was a rejection, given the description.

I was not expecting an offer this early and I thought I might receive my first result, i.e. a rejection from UCB, this week... sleepingsusurrus, Dialectica, goldenstardust11 and 2 others 5

If you don't mind me asking, were you awarded the presidential fellowship? It looks like last year the person who received it was alerted 10 days earlier than the rest of the acceptances. Trying to determine if the lack of an email in my inbox means anything...... Edited February 1, 2017 by Glasperlenspieler

Such a good feeling to get an acceptance when waiting for a rejection :). Well done! Nichi 1

I don't think so. There is nothing about presidential fellowship in my letter.

sleepingsusurrus Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Shall we start the Emory rejection roll call? It was nice of them to let us down now instead of April 15th, I will say
Duns Eith Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 That's a lot of rejections from Emory in a very short span of time. Like the last hour, 8 rejects?

I'm happy you got accepted somewhere early enough in the season to mitigate the disappointment of rejections. I assume that the success I've had so far won't last (especially as responses from higher ranked schools start coming), and it's a huge relief to know early that I got accepted somewhere.
