Got the expected response. No waitlist movement.
I figured I'd check to see, it doesn't sound like anybody's getting any deferrals any time soon.
Vincir said:Nope ... sorry it is so depressing/stagnant, but there isn't much else we all can do. I'm getting sick of all the optimism and good luck at this point, but then again, we're still going to be here for the next few weeks anyways so might as well be running on fumes than running on empty ...
How about you go out and by yourself a cookie or some other equally sugar-coated distraction? 😛
Depakote said:I had a really interesting convo with my PI and my Supervisor today. Basically I told them I might have to leave on incredibly short notice if I get in. Sort of awkward, but my PI was really understanding.
It was pretty funny with my PI actually. He threatened to admit me for psychiatric testing if I didn't go.Vincir said:Ha ... my bosses know I would drop them in a quick minute were I to get a call 😀 (but they still love me)

groovy.Da Nealson said:I had a meeting with Dr. Solhaug and he said there hasn't been movement at all and he doubts that there will be. Thought you all wanted to know :-(

still having trouble with that part... meh.Vincir said:( I would be crushed by this news save for the fact that in two years of waitlists I have come to expect the unexceptional 😛 )

Well there goes the not expecting any movement line...LusuR said:Holy ****, guys! They just called me! I'm in!!!! In like a dirty shirt. My head's spinning!!

LusuR said:I'm a WaMOOSer. They let a real live WaMOOSer in! Possibly by accident, but hey, they'll be contractually obligated to let me attend.

meh. waitlists cause anxieity by definition. Congrats.LusuR said:Wow, I hope this doesn't cause too much anxiety.

I've been "so high" (says one of the admissions ladies) in the upper third since January.
Anything else you guys want to know??
Must...go...to...liquor...store.....
Keep the faith guys. I have proof that they'll let ANYBODY in.![]()
Vincir said:Well I'm glad they let a white MOOSe in but now I just don't know quite what to think about this whole thing. Should I have hope or was it just a fluke? Excuse me for a second ...![]()

Your multiple vomiting smileys and the current state of admissions leads me to do one and only one thing...Vincir said:My confusion deepens ... I just called the office and asked whether there had been any movement on the OOS waitlist recently (for which we know the answer is yes) and I was told that "no there has not been anything recently." Why do I even bother?![]()

Depakote said:Called.
Same as always.
No movement. No signs of future movement. Just stay in contact.

Bump for the sake of... ah why the hell not?Vincir said:Bah, I don't even bother telling them my name anymore ... I think it brings both the person on the phone and me down to say I'm still at the top of something that doesn't move.
It's like camping out all summer for tickets to a concert, where the box office doesn't open. :sigh:
It's like ... a black fly in your chardonnay ...![]()
