Acceptance Thread

[LennyBound]

A Northwestern acceptance has apparently been posted on the admission results page. I know lots of people that go there. If you get accepted to Northwestern, feel free to contact me and I can put you in touch with some of them.

I just checked the Ohio State website and it says my application is still "pending." Hope there are still acceptances to come in the next few days.

Same!

Nope not yet...I just checked my app and it just says "submitted". Hopefully they'll send a few more emails out? Though, it looks like they went out at like 4am? That seems strange. 

At the very least, hopefully they still have WL to send.

Just checked Northwestern, doesn't see anything if the application form place is the portal to check admission status. This is nerve-racking.

@goldenstardust11 @Tecumseh Valley have you heard anything from Northwestern?

Nothing from NW over here, nope.

When someone posts an acceptance, this is what I hear (clipped from Radiohead's "15 Steps").

A note on funding for FSU acceptees (@Naruto, @Nichi, @PhDorBUST, and especially any others who haven't posted): annual collective bargaining between the GA union and administration and possible Florida legislation on graduate student fee waivers are both likely to affect the value of your funding package between now and your visit/final decision. You don't have to talk to me specifically, but please keep abreast of this somehow before you commit - the shift might be on the order of a couple thousand dollars depending on how things go, and you should know where things stand before you lock yourself into anything.

Are you talking about tuition fee waivers or academic fee waivers? I was told I have a ~$2000 fee to pay yearly (reduced after establishing residency to ~$1000) if I attend, but the ~$18000/year tuition is covered. 

Also, I plan on coming by March 31/April 1 for the visit day; I'd love to visit you then.

Also also, @PhDorBUST, I was emailed about funding through a 20hr/wk TAship yesterday.

OK, you can't upload mp3s. How about linking to them - Acceptance reaction

[Schopenhauerfanboy]

There's reports from the Facebook page of both acceptances and a waitlist for Northwestern.

The ~$2000 in academic fees. There's bipartisan support for a reduction, including from the governor, so those are likely to fall by some as-yet-undetermined amount. The union will continue lobbying for a 100% waiver, and might actually get it.

(Yes, I'm heavily involved with the union, how could you tell?)

Given your exceptional GRE scores and the interesting-sounding title of your writing sample, I'd bet your recent acceptances are a sign of what's to come for you the rest of the app season. Congrats!

details about Emory acceptance, please?

On the Facebook group the report was of a call from John Lysaker - no reason to doubt the poster (though I'll leave his name out of this here)

I'd recognize that picture of John Calvin anywhere! One of my favorite theologians of all time. I read The Institutes when I was bored as a Criminal Justice major.
