I probably misheard the guy from the admissions desk. Well, I guess than my chances are fading by the minute...
 
Got an email shortly ago. I was accepted to NP; rejected from HST.

I am still in shock....Congratulations to everyone and good luck to those still waiting.

Glad to hear they're sending rejections and WL in emails this year rather than snail mail. Sucks waiting around forever just to hear that you've been officially rejected.
 
For people who have been accepted, are these emails personalized (aka is it Dear. Mr/Mrs Smith)? If so then I still have hope :S

Yes, it was personalized, but with someone else's name. Weird...
 
Accepted, HST and NP....

Good luck everyone!

Timestamps on the emails, IMO. So I know when to expect my :xf:waitlist?

I guess it's time to start drowning our sorrows!

Do you know about the waitlist? Are those sent out with the acceptances or rejections?
 
Hi, future classmates 🙂
Almost certain this is where I'll be going. Hope to meet everyone at revisit!

Yeah it's a south american expression that I think is quite a bit more eloquent than "getting drunk because I'm sad." Glad you enjoyed it.
 
Yeah, I have heard of it before. So no emails from HMS yet.

Why such conflicting information? I called and was told acceptances are being sent throughtout the week.... confused and sad 🙁 [sigh]
 
Hey,
That is what I have been told also. Anriar, who told you that all results were sent out today...?

I didn't get a name, it was a woman though. Shall I call again and see if I get a different answer?
 
I just called and spoke to a man who said they still have a lot more decisions to send out and that they will be distributed throughout the week. I asked if all acceptances have been sent today, and he said, "no, like I said, we will be sending them out throughout the week"

I'm quite sad as well. You work so hard and sacrifice so much. and then the day finally comes...and silence.
 
Congratulations everybody who was accepted today and good luck to everyone who is still waiting to hear!
 
Just talked with the office, who said decisions will be going out via both email and snail mail, starting today (obviously) and continuing throughout the week. Best of luck to everyone!
 
Sorry everybody!

I just called the office again and talked to "Katherine." She said that decisions will be going out all week. I don't know who I talked to earlier, but I'm sorry to have scared everyone with misinformation! I'm going to go outside for a while and try to stop worrying. Good luck everybody!
 
no email yet. i'm going to pretend that there is still hope. good luck everyone! 😀

DECISIONS includes acceptances, rejections, and waitlists...

So it seems like ALL acceptances have been gone out today..and the rest of the DECISIONS (which means rejections and waitlists) will be going out the rest of the week which is exactly what the admissions office is telling you guys

in my experience acceptances are usually all released on the same day followed by the rest of the decisions..

unless they EXPLICITLY say we still have a batch of acceptances (not just using the word "decisions") to send out its not looking good for the people who haven't heard yet

congrats to those who got accepted!
 
Doc,

I just called, see above post, to ask about this clarification of "decisions". I asked him whether or not all acceptances have been e-mailed, and he said "No, acceptances will be distributed throughout the week".
 
Oy, I just want to know so I can start making the final decision. It stinks that they're dragging this out through the week, but we'll all see. Congrats to all those accepted, and good luck to everybody waiting!

I hope you are right tjquinn. It would be a bit anticlimactic for me if it was over already.

Haha yeah I don't trust them. They clearly are using the word "decisions" in order to be vague. They know the exact reason we are calling, they would straight off say "yes acceptances are still going out and will be spread over a few days" but they're not saying that..they're saying "decisions will be spread over a few days" and upon asking them further about acceptances specifically it seems like they're STILL being vague ie "yes like I said they will be coming over the next few days"...I really HIGHLY doubt that they still have a batch of acceptances that they're waiting to send out UNLESS they EXPLICITLY say "we still have a batch of acceptances to send out"..sorry to be so negative I had a similar experience with another school and I was really disappointed that in reality there were no other acceptances going out...i REALLY REALY hope I am wrong though..just trying not to have false hope..am really disappointed though

I am extremely anxious about this "decision". When I asked the guy who answered the phone, I caught myself saying, "have all decisions been mailed yet?" He said, "No, decisions will be e-mailed throughout the week." I was not satisified with this answer, as Doc rightly pointed out, so I probed further and asked about acceptances in particular, he got snooty and said, "Like I said, they will be e-mailed throughout the week."
 
accepted!! did not see this coming at all. i had made plans to move to SF, but now i'm not sure. i guess that's what revisit is for.

still scratching my head a bit and hoping this mcevoy lady in the email isn't playing a prank on me...time stamp 1:35 for those still speculating
 
when we've been patient for this long, whats a couple more days? In case all the acceptances haven't gone out yet, Good Luck guys!! :xf::luck:
 
man, you all are harassing the admin people. :laugh:

gl to all.

Hopefully our revisit will convince you 🙂

Not sure why I randomly decided to check this thread...
 
Congrats to everyone! We hope that you will all join our wonderful HMS family soon! Mark your calendars for April 15-17, for revisit weekend!
