The fucks at Eastern Washington sent me an acceptance letter. Today. Three days after the acceptance deadline that ALL writing programs (and other grad programs?) abide by. What the fuck? Seriously--I apply waaaay before their deadline; they call me after their deadline for assistantships and tell me that they never received half my shit; they ( Read more... )

you might also have to tell your conspiracy theory mind that admissions offices are shite, unorganzied, shite, and doubly unorganized. they were prolly just slackers who dont know how to follow deadlines.

or they could have it out for you, whatev...

"they knew I had to commit to a program, so they sent me my acceptance letter just so that they could justify cashing my check."

Yeah--I was being overly pessimistic :). I guess the crappy thing was that I needed to have a full application by March 1st in order to be considered for a TAship. I sent my application out on February 1st or thereabouts, and they called me March 6th to tell me that they never got the rest of my application. So--either way, if I hadn't already had to commit to Minnesota by April 15th, I would have been a little effed over for a TAship.

BUT! You're right :). It's good to have options, and I'm flattered they want me (though the pessimistic part of my brain is telling me that my application is still "lost" and they never actually read my work... ;).) And yes, I totally wanted to live in Washington, too. Skiing, rivers....prettyprettypretty. Oh well.
