you see one princeton acceptance on gradcafe last night, and then go to bed, feeling bad, but its just one acceptance, and so late at night... there could be more coming, right? and then you get an email midday from princeton - yes! this must be it! some acceptances in the evening, and some the next afternoon, that's how they must be doing things. and then it's a standard, polite rejection. okay. at least you weren't left wondering for too long.

DGS notification, with official notification to come.

rejections piling up, feeling absolutely terrible

o no. 1a/1w/3r//11

very sad, bigly sad, the most sad, yuge sadness.

GPA is grad

generic rejection email

It was a long shot, but I'm more of a public school kid anyways ;)

Was my safe school :(

Late post but was told on Jan. 31st. Three strong LORs, 3.98/4 undergrad gpa, 4.0/4.0 MS gpa, MS thesis in same topic area as prof of interest, 2 years of internships at 3 prestigious corporations, self-funded, recipient of prestigious scholarships, good GRE scores, was in contact with prof of interest and wanted to work together, pubs in conference proceedings, journal article in process... Don't worry, sometimes the world just steers you in the direction you are meant to go.
