Will be declining, however.

Nice letter, saying I am "high" on the waiting list. Anyone with an offer of acceptance withdrawing?

We named the dog Indiana.

...long time coming. I like the paper and all, but I would appreciate a timely rejection more.

I already knew from having e-mailed the department earlier in the week, but here's the official rejection. 0-5, 3 to go.

Totally expected after the "mysterious e-vite" didn't happen. At least they were kind enough to put it on nice paper.

Got the official rejection letter in today's post.

No surprises there, just glad to get the confirmation.

Asked about status via e-mail. Now it will be twice as sad whenever I wear my novelty Hoosier Daddy t-shirt.

First the mysterious evite, and then a week later, an official letter.

Got an e-vite to the visiting weekend before my letter!

no funding the first year, teaching assistantships for years 2-6

I emailed the admissions peeps and they told me my letter was in the mail and I'd been accepted with a teaching assistantship.

Bev Hankins returned my email request (asking for an update on application status), stating that my letter of rejection will be arriving soon; the department is sending out the last letters today or Monday. Best wishes to others...
