gollux Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 I received an email from the department to which I applied saying "Congratulations on your acceptance," and asking me to contact the professor with whom I'd like to work. But I haven't received any other notification of acceptance. It seems like the kind of thing you'd send someone after they know they've gotten in. At first I was ecstatic, but now i'm worried it's some kind of error. I called the department, but they seem to have left for the afternoon. Which leaves me the weekend to freak out about it.
Nibor6000 Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 Relax! You're in! While I have spent countless hours checking websites for news, every admit has come via email. Congratulations!
gollux Posted February 20, 2010 Author Posted February 20, 2010 I know, I'm being a weirdo. This process has made me into kind of a paranoid monster. Still, i think it's weird that it was two sentences long and seemed to be missing some key elements! Thanks for the support!

I can't say I understand what that would feel like to get that email, but I do recommend staying relaxed and optimistic. All is well, and it's highly doubtful it was sent in error. Congratulations
hydrangea Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 Look on the bright side, if it was an error you now have them by the balls! I'm sure you could make a legal argument for your acceptance with that email. (Maybe, maybe not, but a little humor seemed appropriate.) If I were you, I would just be happy, lay low until Monday, and follow the directions once they tell you they really did accept you.
American in Beijing Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 Relax! You're in! While I have spent countless hours checking websites for news, every admit has come via email. Congratulations! Yeah, the website can be misleading. I got accepted to a school over a week ago via e-mail from the department and I just now received an e-mail asking me to check my status on the website. Trust the e-mail! You're in! Congratulations!! Go dance around and celebrate!
