IU Bloomington Class of 2014 Forum

That's the most likely outcome, for sure. I'm still waiting on Tim Hightower to have his breakout year.

Thats hilarious. Just so you know, the last time I won a league Thurman Thomas was my star back. I suck. All heart, no head.

Whose gonna be commish? Not it.

I heard comparisons of Newton to J Russsel, but to compare him to A. Smith deprives him of even being respected as a human being!! Yeah, Newton prob. is that bad; on John Gruden's QB Camp he said Newton couldn't even comprehend some of the basic universal terms that are used. I agree, throw Nnamdi on one of the highly covered East Coast teams and people would be calling him #1. BTW zla2014, you said after our first year when we are able to watch a game....this guy right here will bomb out his first year before he passes up watching the Vikings every week. I feel the others would agree with this statement in regards to their teams as well....now I just need to find a good sports bar that carries all the games.

I understand you guys and your football...that's the same way I am with my True Blood. Good thing it's on in the summertime though!

Yea my sister watches that garbage...ok, it's not really- oh wait yes it really is garbage haha.

Hopefully there's some big packet on it's way in the mail.

Yeah, with cookies

Zla, I accepted almost a month ago and haven't got my log-in info yet. Which is still making me a bit nervous, but it sounds like we aren't missing out.

And +1 to the chicken wings thing. I am all about football season for two reason: chicken wings and beer.

I can volunteer for commish. We'll just have to all remember our commitments come orientation Commitments to this league, that is, not our studies. Clearly.

Men just don't understand...lol

Waitlisted today. One of my last outstanding applications. I doubt they'll pull me off the list since everyone says IUB is super over enrolled, but perhaps they'll need an extra Puerto Rican at some point.

[lsatextreme]

justathought, can i ask when your letter was dated/sent? Was it sent on Monday? I'm at work so I can't check my mail until later this evening, and they said mine was sent out on Monday so I'm trying to see if it'll be a reject or a WL...

No problem. The letter is dated April 14th.

[lsatextreme]

oic thank you.

[twairlines]

Won't be around for few days, so here is to happy early Easter to all, no matter how/if you celebrate it!!

[aquasalad]

Happy Easter

[shastaca]

They wanted 200 they've got 220 or so.

[cmu2011]

So I guess I won't get accepted. I didn't get anything from the school yet..

[Justathought]

Lsatextreme, I pulled my wait list envelop out of the trash. Its postmarked the 18th, and the letter, like I mentioned, was dated the 14th. Perhaps you were waitlisted as well. Either way, I'm not very optimistic about my chance for admission, but you never know.

oh ok thank you so much! I haven't had the opportunity to check my mail this weekend so I'll report back tonight!

[penelopeclearwater]

Do you guys mind sharing your stats? Bloomington is the last school I am waiting to hear from and I want to know what my chances are of even getting waitlisted at this point...

And I guess my next question is if anyone knows how common it is to be pulled off the waitlist during the summer?

hmm i checked my mail today and it's not here...i would have guessed if it was postmarked on the 18th and sent from indiana, then it would have arrived in CA by today at the latest, but maybe when the guy said it went out on the 18th, the letter was actually dated then? oh well...

i have yet to receive a response from IU. anyone else in the same boat? when i called they said i should receive a decision in the next few weeks....?!

[tlabrum3]

They're actually shooting for the 180's.

[JamMasterJ]

yeah, I heard it should be pretty soon about two weeks ago and haven't heard anything.

[aknecht]

finally heard back yesterday.... flat out reject.

yea i have yet to hear back from them. i sent my application 1/31 so i'm getting a bit annoyed with waiting so long. but with everyone saying that they are overextended, i am surprised that they aren't just sending out a bunch of rejections. Do a lot of people drop out of the class over the summer as they get into other schools?
Also if i haven't heard back from them should i expect that it will not be possible for me to get any money from them?

[stephan75th]

So it's pretty clear we need to do a fantasy football league, yes?

I'm in

Im in.

Is this in IUB only league? Cuz if not, I'm in. (I withdrew)

IUB only, please. If this is going to be a pay league, which it should be, we can't hold you accountable when you lose. Of course, there has to be an NFL season in order to start a fantasy league...

You can pretty safely presume the class is almost set, at least 80% or so. Hopefully you have a high GPA, but I can't really address your money question without you posting your numbers. Most people who would drop out of the class have already done so and gotten into other schools.
That said, I would hope they let you know whats up by May 1. A few weeks could be more than two weeks, but really things should be shaping up sooner rather than later
