Grad school is a bitch.
Accepted: Texas State
Rejected (acceptance rates for this year in parantheses): Cornell (1.5%), Minnesota (3.4%), Amherst (2.9%), Syracuse (4.8%), Vanderbilt (1.4%)
That's the product of a ridiculously high increase in applicants meeting a terrible economy, and thus, less funding. For perspective: when I decided to apply to them, all but Cornell had acceptance rates between 5 and 8%, leaning towards the 8.
Waitlisted: Alabama (4%), Florida (2.5%)
Unknown, because my mail takes fucking forever (seriously, people started getting mail from Southern Illinois two weeks ago, and I live in Illinois but have yet to get anything from them): Southern Illinois - Carbondale (estimated around 10%), Minnesota State - Mankato, Indiana (2.9%), Louisiana (my top choice, who just mailed letters out this week)
Seriously, where the fuck is my mail? Most of those rejections just got to me last week, and I know that those schools started mailing out rejections over a month ago. These schools: they're KILLING me.
