hm, but weren't people saying earlier that acceptances were sent out by email the same day that they were mailed out?

in which case, wouldn't emails come tomorrow?
 
o crap o crap o crap. I'm so nervous. I got accepted at another school today so I'm either going to be having one heck of an amazing day or this is going to completely ruin the high i had going. ugh! I should have avoided this thread!!!!! Darn my lack of will power.

O and I have to go take an exam now. Let just add to my nerves shall we?!

:scared::scared::scared:

Well last year someone emailed the admissions office and found out that letters were mailed that day, but people got e-mails the day before.

Doing my dissertation in the nuances of the 2008-2009 Iowa thread.
 
I think I am going to have a heart attack! This is the last school I am waiting to hear from, and my top school. I hope this is a good day I hope this is a good day I hope this is a good day!
 
Am I really the first one to get an acceptance email?! Just got it at 2:22PM!





You've been punk'd! I didn't really hear anything

Best of luck to everyone on this forum. Sorry for being mean spirited but I had to do it

I just nearly had a heart attack. If we become classmates I'm hunting you down at second look day and punching you in the arm. You've been warned mwhahahaja

I called again, letters get mailed tomorrow. If they are still sending emails for acceptances the same as past years, you should get an email today if you were accepted. Good luck guys

Thanks for keeping us all updated.

I also have to work tonight from 4 to 9. All I can say is thank God for smartphones. (then again this also makes me more insane - I had my girlfriend take away my phone every tuesday from Nov till Jan because I would drop everything every time it beeped.)

that and bosses who are just as worried as I am about if I get in or not.

good luck to us all... And hopefully they email in the next 5 minutes or so. For our own hair trigger saies.

I told my parents I needed the Palm Pre last summer. Somehow I got them to agree - they created a monster!

Hopefully we will both be doing victory dances with approving bosses around 5 tonight.

It's the indestructible Dell E6400, no excuses for missing the online exams this beast is coffee/chemical resistant, impact resistant and fire-proof..



J/k the actual laptop (same model family) should look like

hmm how about nobody updates this thread until they have some good news... (said in the most non-rude tone ever).
 
I like that on the link it says they have negotiated a price with dell for $1060 but if you go on dell's website right now the most pimped out model is $1059. Doesn't look like they got a good deal. Especially if they got the average model not the top of the line.

How good is it ranked compared to Ohio state univ or Univ of Cincinnati?

Does it add value to the degree?? i.e., will a MD degree from UI hold good credentials?

thanks

Rankings don't matter except for academic medicine and pride

I saw that too, but I'm thinking $1060 includes all the applications, customizations etc etc, so it's the final cost... Otherwise it doesn't make sense..

I suppose we'll see in due time. That is assuming I get accepted here shortly.
 
i'm dying here guys. I know I said I wouldn't check but my morbid curiosity has taken over. UGH!
At least no one has heard anything yet which is good news (for me). Everytime i get an email i nearly have a heart attack. UGH

Tmobile sent me an email with the subject "Special Invitation!". Almost died.
 
ya guys, no idea whats going on here being as it is past 5 pm
 
I am the most unproductive I have ever been in my life today. Going back and forth from my email to SDN...I need a life
 
I know--I've been practically glued to my computer ALL DAY! I am getting that terrible feeling that I will be opening an unhappy letter in the very near future...I keep telling myself it doesn't matter, second choice is still pretty good. But I still really want Iowa!
 
what if Iowa actually sticks with what they said this year and mails ALL decisions. How much of a pisser would that be? haha
 
So how long before we throw in the towel and know that they aren't coming today?
 
well i dont think anyone can count anything out yet guys, I think it would be very unlikley that at least one person monitoring this thread wont get an acceptance via email
 
and is SDN based on Cali time or something. It's 6:41 where i am
 
I'm in!!!












...gamestop, about to buy FFXIII. Sorry, couldn't help myself. I'm on the edge of my seat too!
 
lol if we were all in a room together....half of us would probably be dead. but lets be honest here, did anyone laugh at that little joke from TheMan?!!?! No. I rest my case 🙂
 
i laughed a little at the fact he admits to playing final fantasy
 
its not gonna be today is it 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁
do we think its gonna be tomorrow? or next week?!
 
hey now they still have 2 minutes by my watch!
hahaha

maybe tomorrow? maybe whenever the mail arrives. fml
 
By now we have been 0/2 in terms of guessing the date. Which makes me guess we should stop guessing 😀
 
lol what time are you going by? It's definitely 7:15pm Central Time....so I'm thinking its over 🙁
 
I bet Iowa watches this thread and every time we guess something, they laugh and say "alright, not doing that day!"
So let's all write that we REALLY do NOT want to hear tomorrow....a little reverse psychology for 'em 😛
 
isn't it 6:15 central time? what kind of **** is this man - can we assume they lied to Hawks? is there an automated timer for like 11:59? so many questions...kfdlajs;flkdjaf;lskdjf
