<p>Wow! Congrats Giuli. That’s a good sign, don’t you think? I know it’s not as simple as a no-interview-required acceptance but hopefully it means you’re close! :-)</p>
<p>Did you receive a phone call today?</p>
<p>They sent me an email…They scheduled the interview on Friday at 11 am NY time but unfortunately it doesn’t work for me due to personal reasons so I’m gonna have to reschedule…I’ll keep you posted…</p>
<p>Did you receive any news MC? As I already told you, I think you’re in:)</p>
<p>MC–I’m waiting for you to break out the news of the phone call…I really think you made it.</p>
<p>Giuli–that’s a good thing, I think! Hope you can get it done soon!</p>
<p>Good luck on your interview!
No, I have no news yet. I’m waiting unpatiently, constantly checking my phone to make sure I haven’t inadvertently missed a call, etc.</p>
<p>Thank you guys for your support…</p>
<p>Good luck to you all</p>
<p>I’m losing my mind here. Just saying.</p>
<p>Same here BB. I was so hoping to get a call today. But it’s almost 5pm here in NY. I don’t think it’s going to happen today. Sigh. Stay strong!</p>
<p>Hey GTW, I was sitting at the first table to the right. Giu, an interview is a really good sign. Good luck.</p>
<p>First table to the right from the entrance? That’s the one I was at, cool.</p>
<p>How did you feel about the exam? I thought it was pretty simple, but I was stressed out nonetheless.</p>
<p>Ok, first neurotic posting of the day:</p>
<p>Anyone hear anything new? Giuli, did you succeed in rescheduling your interview? M.C., any word/FedEx package/joyous phonecall?</p>
<p>Anyone else feeling as slightly strained as I am? I can only do so much homework to distract me.</p>
<p>No news yet. And yes, I am feeling totally strained as well. I am attempting to distract myself but am not fully concentrating on anything (work, life, etc.)</p>
<p>I know that I have that whole access to Student Financial Aid page situation possibly going for me, but it’s only a small consolation at this point. I just can’t believe that they would’ve already made my admissions decision that quickly, especially considering I missed the ED deadline (even though it was all in prior to the 10/16 GSAE). Oh well.</p>
<p>And so we wait. At least Giuli got something official; we know the proverbial ball is rolling, decisions are being made, shadowy figures in Morningside Heights are making choices that will affect our lives in significant ways… It’s happening as we type!</p>
<p>I always picture the AdCom as something like The Star Chamber–not sure if anyone will get the reference–or the Jedi council or something. Shadowy figures indeed! I am fortunate in that I’ve had quite a few projects to see to, but the result of this has been that I finish them as quickly and efficiently as possible and then return to obsessing.</p>
<p>Unfortunately I just came back from a meeting with my advisor who informed me that at 12 hours a semester, I have another TWO YEARS at this university as opposed to the year and a half I thought I’d have. This puts a significantly different perspective on the prospect of remaining here. </p>
<p>Although my grades are outstanding, I find the politics and policies of my current school reprehensible and the thought of subsidizing them any further with two more years of tuition does not sit well with me at all. Luckily, the humanities department here is relatively sane. /rant</p>
<p>I really hope you hear something positive today. For that matter, I hope we all hear something positive today.</p>
<p>Probably doesn’t help that it’s election day.</p>
<p>guys my interview is on thursday at 11 am new york time…I’m so worried…wish me luck</p>
<p>Giuli: keep the faith! I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed for you. I’m sure we all will.</p>
<p>thanks BB:) I’ll keep you posted…again, good luck to you all</p>
<p>Knock 'em dead, Giuli! Let us know how it goes.</p>
<p>BB, agreed about the adcom; the Star Chamber seems an apt reference. That’s about how I like to imagine it as well. And it sounds like you’re more than ready to put your current university behind you.</p>
<p>WHY WON’T THEY JUST CALL US ALREADY!</p>
<p>I can’t believe I’m obsessing so badly and it’s only 11/2. It could conceivably take quite a bit longer.</p>
<p>It’s 10:30 a.m. and I have a feeling I won’t be getting any work done today.</p>
<p>I just received a call from Erica in the admissions office at GS. I have been offered admission for Spring, 2011. I am so f*&^%ng excited that sophisticated diction like, totally escapes me right now.</p>
<p>!!!</p>
<p>Here’s to all of you – BB, GTW, Giuli, rcave, – hoping that you’ll all be getting good news shortly.</p>
<p>MC I’m soo happy for you…I just did my interview and I’ve been told I’ll recieve news within the next two weeks…keep fingers crossed for me, hope to see you in January:)</p>
<p>Thanks Giuli!</p>
<p>Glad to hear you had your interview. Two more weeks?!? It’s not an excessive amount of time but I’m sure that it will feel like FOREVER to you. Hopefully a decision (and an affirmative one at that) will come to you much quicker.</p>
<p>My fingers are definitely crossed for you!</p>
