Yes, i know that they've already sent acceptances out and i've been waitlisted. Not sure when I'll hear back but was told hopefully before spring break. It really depends on when students let them know their decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamer109 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 The feelings of fear, acceptance, rejection, elation, and extreme situational depression can be felt on each and every page. It is like a roller coaster made out of academia. RealMowgli, devpolicy, Sartori and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely! I've declined WashU and Rochester -- I'm CP and Methods if that information will help anyone. But the imposter in me still says " Who are you to decline ?"

Sartori Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Unfortunately Unfortunately, we cannot... Unfortunately Are unable to recommend... We attract the best: brighter, younger things. We cannot extend An invitation to you, unfortunately. Many thousands of qualified applicants — And then there’s you. What’s a committee to do? Dossiers on dossiers, friends of friends Commend them to us in the millions: The quickest, steeliest, wiliest applicants you’ve ever seen, Sharp-elbowed and ravenous. They’ve got the stuff, and what it takes. But not you. We can’t say yes, and them’s the brakes. Somewhere else you’d do — Just not with us. Unfortunately.

sbs2018 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 (edited) Hi all. Thanks for being so great through this process. I was fortunate enough to be accepted at UNC-Chapel Hill (Theory) early on in the process. I accepted their offer this morning. I am still haven't heard from Georgetown, Notre Dame, Chicago (presumed reject), or Northwestern (presumed reject). If accepted at any of those places, I'll decline. That's just an FYI for people who like to know their probability went up by the subtraction of a single n. Anyone who is going to the UNC prospective student weekend, feel free to message me. And, especially feel free if you're definitely going to UNC. Peace. NOTE: I'm trying to notify those schools that I am withdrawing my application. Could take a bit though. UPDATE: Now withdrawn from the Notre Dame and Georgetown admissions pools.

Dreamer109 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Man am I bad a poetry. But I can give it a go. December It is complete A process, I hope to never repeat Ten potential schools in sight My future, hopefully, looking bright. Waiting January Waiting, Waiting, Waiting My hopes slowly fading February the time expected Still the fear of being rejected Still Waiting February The first five letters come in My head is in a spin Acceptance, Rejection, a mixed bag My future, dreams, and shoulder being to sag The End, still waiting March What is to come, I do not know Why must these final schools be so slow? My dreams and aspects simultaneously high and low Still waiting for those final crushing blows Still Waiting AND WITH THAT I have written my first poem since my junior year of high school AP English class.
