Watching the first few OSU acceptances post today hit a solid 8 on the scale. Checking my portal and almost clicking (thanks, fat fingers on cellphone screen) on the ominous "Accept/Deny" link was a 13. Is there a fainting room? I'ma need it.

EspritHabile Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Thanks, @Warelin and @FreakyFoucault! I would love to know what my cortisol levels are doing right now. Sweet jeebus. I hope other waiting on OSU get good news soon! The stress is real, but we can do this!

JustPoesieAlong Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Okay, I'm sorry I went doom and gloom so quickly, @Narrative Nancy, @Elle Coronaria, and @bumbleblu. Having scoured past posts more in depth, it does seem that OSU staggers the acceptance posts on the website--although the result board in the most recent years doesn't seem to indicate that. I'm still hanging on to some hope, seeing as 3/4 of the posted acceptances specify rhet/comp and I know @FreakyFoucault and I are in different periods. Hoping that @unræd's input is the golden ticket for those of us still waiting!

JustPoesieAlong Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 One of the recent acceptance posts says they're early modern, so I may for real be out. Boo. But super happy for the rest!
