Boomski Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Any kind soul want to claim that Illinois-Chicago acceptance from the 12th? It's the only one I've seen, is kinda early, and posted the same day as a FEW UIUC acceptances.

colin_cloute Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Been an absolutely ridiculous last three hours: I'm in a strange time zone for vacation right now and I got a call from my top top top favourite program Princeton at 3 in the morning, subsequently can't fall back asleep, then checked email and found out a UPenn rejection in the next hour, tried to fall asleep again, and was waken up by a call from Rutgers, and now it's 6 in the morning. wnk4242, LibraryLivingJT, Rootbound and 5 others 5 3

Jeez, that's quite a roller coaster! Have you gotten to chat with Princeton and Rutgers?! I'm sure it's great news!
FreakyFoucault Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Hey, everyone! Sorry I've missed you all over the last couple days. We've been in panic mode at work for the last week, so I haven't had as much time to be on the forum. So, first, a huge congrats to @Mandasplaining, @Isocrates2.o, @bigfluffybearcat, @bpilgrim89, @E. Coronaria, @Zooks, @Mellowyellow, @chouette, @Noire et Étrange, @OceansAreBlue, @Warelin, @LeeLeeCzechIrish, @Kilos, @Melville, @colin_cloute, and all the others who've received good news while I've been gone! Second, I just want to say how proud I am of you all! It makes me more happy than you could possibly know to see that your hard work, dedication, and passion have paid off in such fantastic ways! Also, to those of you who are still waiting on good news, keep the hope alive! I'm sending all my good vibes to each of you! Remember: like pregnancy, it takes only one acceptance to get things going! So, from now until April 15, my fingers will be continually crossed (but don't expect too many posts from me because, you know, typing...). Anyway, I think one of my coworkers is trying to douse the place is gasoline, so I should probably take care of that. Peace, and keep the acceptances up, my friends!

chouette Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 I'm honestly so scared to even post this because I'm paranoid that they made some kind of clerical error but.....

Did UConn happen to mention a Welcome Weekend or day and if so when is that? Edited February 17, 2018 by Melville
Warelin Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 @Melville: My e-mail didn't mention anything about a Welcome Weekend. Later in the day, the DGS e-mailed requesting to set up a time to talk and discuss the program. OceansAreBlue 1

If you happen to hear about some shin-dig there please let me know (just in case I get off the wait-list).
