I applied to this phd program last month because they don't have a solid deadline, which is good for me. I emailed the person in charge of applications regarding my status and here's his reply:
You are high on our list for possible admission in Fall 2008. I believe we will be able make you an offer soon.
Then I asked him if he could give me a ballpark date/time when I will hear the official news. He never replied again. This was a week ago.
The werid thing is several faculty members have already emailed me and invited me to join their group, and I don't even have the official admission yet!
Does this situation look good to you?
