a short, gradcafe-related rant
Y’ALL. i applied for 7 programs and have been rejected from / implied rejected from all but 2. one i was waitlisted. the other is my dream school and hasn’t released admissions. i’ve been posting about it in the forums, along with a few others who are really wishing for this last school. so.
for the past few weeks we’ve known that it was either that the adcom met today, or that the adcom would be sending out notifcations today. this morning, there were two posts within five minutes on the results board that showed acceptances for this school (via phone). one of the results was more detailed and said that their POI had said that all calls were being made immediately. after ~1 hour, me and the other three people desperately waiting are obviously a little freaked out and posting about it. sooooooo then
fast forward 30 minutes, and theres a new post on the result board:
“waitlisted at ((school)): other: I may have posted those ((school)) acceptances to troll ((mine and the other 3′s usernames)) ... forgive me, acceptance Gods!”
SERIOUSLY!? fuck that. i posted that this is my last chance, and the others are nervous too, and this person made up fake results to fuck with us!? ugh! who the fuck does that!? it’s not funny; it’s cruel. it’s them going out of their way to make us squirm about something that is VERY serious and VERY personal and VERY stressful. the waitlist post above has been removed, but the acceptances are still up. i’m so bothered.
