Deep Springs Admissions!

<p>So you guys think DS will be making calls this week or will they be delayed due to the co-education hearing</p>

<p>I’m guessing this week or next week. Possibly the week after that.
“Mid-December” is a pretty open time period.</p>

<p>Hey y’all. I suppose if we make it to round two some of us will be seeing each other down there for interviews.</p>

<p>It says mid-December, but two of my friends applied last year and got through to the second round – according to them, the acceptance notifications go out earlier in December than the rejections. I don’t know if that’s still the case, but it very well might be. </p>

<p>Hope this helps. Good luck.</p>

<p>Also, I’m sure many of you have seen this already, but I’d be interested to hear what you think of it:</p>

<p>Hey livivid what’s the speculation in the facebook group regarding coeducation? you guys think the judge will pull through and rule in favor of coeducation?</p>

<p>Has anyone heard anything yet? And blissM I have read that article, It wasn’t exactly a fun read, but every school has its critics. And also, it was written about experiences that took place, what, 20 years ago? Especially with the quick turnover, DS wasn’t the same school five years ago as it is today, let alone twenty years ago. I’m not really letting it bother me too much.</p>

<p>I haven’t heard anything guys, sorry. Also, they go on break the December 14th to January 7th. Yeah, um, today is the 14th. I guess all we can do is wait. Much love to you all!</p>

<p>My college advisor called deep springs last week–they said we should get the results in the next couple of days (sun-wed). Good luck–Give 'em hell.</p>

<p>anyone heard anything yet? I’m so nervous that i woke up four times throughout the night :(</p>

<p>Hey guys, i am also applying to DS as international student.
Based on previous years admission process, the call from DS usually comes on 17~19. However, in my opinion, as we had an extend deadline because of the Sandi, the call might delay…
has anyone contacted with the admission yet?</p>

<p>I have not heard anything from them yet. I must have visited the mailbox three or four times today but it remains empty. I guess that makes little sense if they are going to call though. A pleasure to meet the other applicants, by the way.</p>

<p>Hi everyone :slight_smile: First CC post! I’ve been browsing for years but finally decided to register as, I too, applied to Deep Springs. The anticipation over the next few days…I can hardly study for my last two exams! I was looking back over my application (nervous habit, I guess) and thought of a question for the community as a whole: how many books did you guys put down for the favorite books/recent books section and/or what is your favorite book? Just curious from one applicant to another!</p>

<p>45 for recent, assigned and fav combined (but like 44 of them are about The Ramones and doing card tricks)–a few of my favorites are Psychotic Reactions and Carburetor Dung (by Lester Bangs), Franny and Zooney (JD Salinger), 7 Pillars of Wisdom (TE Lawrence) and this big pink coffee table book I have about The Clash.</p>

<p>Lester Bangs!
I have very mixed feelings about Bangs’ work. Sometimes I see a flash of genius in a sentence or two, but the vast majority of his writing comes off, to me, as childish, sophomoric, self-indulgent, and all those other attributes grown-ups malign. Bangs would surely reject my criticisms, but I don’t think that makes them any less valid. :P</p>

<p>I should have assumed you liked the Clash from your username. I’m a Clash fan, as well. I’m a much bigger fan of New York punk (Voidoids, Television, Johnny Thunders, Heartbreakers), but on the British side of things, I like the Pop Group and This Heat, among others. The Ramones never really caught me. But yeah, glad to see another punk fan here.
Glad to see someone else reads Bangs, too.</p>

<p>From somewhere, i heard that you only get call from DS if you are accepted. This means that there is no way to figure out if you are denied or not : 0</p>

<p>You get a letter if you are rejected. That’s what set me thinking, is it possible that they’ve already been making the calls, but we’re just the unlucky crowd who didn’t get it? That’d be really sad.</p>

<p>This thought petrifies me.</p>

<p>Just finished my last exam. Haha, I swear I’m not leaving the phone until I hear SOMETHING from DS!</p>

<p>The phone rang twice today.Both times just as I grasped the phone in my hand it stopped ringing leaving behind the caller ID “unavailable”.</p>

<p>Wow, I hope we hear something soon. I can’t help but get a little nervous! To what other colleges have people otherwise applied? (or thought of applying to?)</p>
