Oh! Good to know!

Ah, I saw you did this last year too, how awesome. You are quite the UCI unofficial ambassador! I'm hoping to hear some good news... though it looks like acceptances and wait lists have been sent out. Keep being awesome though, and congrats to everyone else.

Oh thanks for the info! I have seen that previous years had roughly 133 applicants and could only accept 6 (last year I think). Nerve-wracking indeed! Best to everyone.

Yes, please keep in mind that not all schools have an "official" wait list where they inform you! My husband was accepted to a school for Sociology back in April, 2012. He never even knew he was on a wait list and assumed he had been rejected without notification. We were already making plans to move to another school he had an acceptance at.

Ah, there you go. This could very well be the possibility with UCIrvine as well.. You never know.. Hang in there everyone!

I have seen a few posts stating that Harvard was closed yesterday and also today.

Thanks so much!

I think, until everyone receives rejections then no, I believe there could be more acceptances. Schools tend to have official and/or unofficial wait lists. Hang in there!

Do you have any good info on Ft Collins (Colo State) too!? Very cool though, I actually didn't realize there was a city guide on these forums. How helpful!

I know someone in 2012 that was accepted for Fall 2012 to Penn State, in April, on a Saturday during spring break via email. They will go on for awhile. I do believe this acceptance was an unofficial wait-list finally receiving admittance though. Also, it was a full ride.

Happy Monday! Another big week I bet. From previous years, it looks like UC Irvine will send out acceptances at the end of this week...

Sounds like you made it past the first reject pile! There are a few others reporting no news also. In this instance, I'd say, no news is good news.

Would you be willing to share with us which school this POI was at? My husband is in his mid-30's and applied to some of the schools you did. I always was under the impression that applying a little older had a few advantages in some ways. Guess everyone has a different preference.

Yes! Absolutely! Sure there could be some issues. I can say for sure that within the last 2 years I know 2 people that were accepted, full funding into PhD programs in their early and mid 30's. This is specifically in Socilogy too, they were outstanding students, great GRE scores, amazing research, previously published work and a solid GPA. I would say the 30's are totally normal. Can't speak beyond that though.

My friend, who does not participate on these forums, received a full offer from University of Florida (Gainesville) today. He had a POI who called and spoke (light interview) over the phone early last week.
