Deepest condolences to the University of Phoenix reject. You must be feeling pretty shitty.

One of my apps had a field that was basically "check here if you are independently wealthy; it will increase your chances of admission."

Here comes Columbia. PS. Bugs me when people post that they got "5 years of funding" from an Ivy League school, as if they don't know that everyone who goes there gets full funding.

Was just thinking how excited I would be to get a rejection, just so I could believe some kind of response was going to come.

That's entirely different then - the IFS is separate from the NYU history department and isn't part of its admissions process (though the history dept signs off on their admits). PS. I also applied to IFS. They only accept 4-5 people, so I guess it's a bit of a long shot for all of us, but best of luck

I think that's right, unless perhaps you're an international student. I've heard from professors that in previous years that only applicants from/in the US were invited.

I confirmed that NYU has indeed ended the cattle-call interview weekend; everyone who is invited this year will be already accepted.

I think the DGG was on every call. Of course we won't kill you, but that timeline gets us right in the zone of when they've announced the past few years. I'm so tired of this, everybody. So ready to move on, one way or another.

They told me they were only doing 1/30 and 1/31, and didn't even give me a choice between those two when I asked if it was possible. Makes sense about the ends of the week though.

Thanks for the info. I wonder why they string the interviews out over such a long period?

Thinking about going to bed so Monday will get here sooner.

Frustrating lack of info on the Harvard results. Harvard emails tend to be from POIs, from what I've heard, so it makes some sense that it would take a few days for all of them to get in touch with their respective students. It's a bit curious that we got three at exactly the same time; don't entirely know what to make of that. If it didn't seem too much like wishful thinking, I might be inclined to think they were fake.

That's right. Even though it's joint, IFS is a separate department with its own admissions process.

Can one of the Harvard admits fill us in on who emailed you?

Well, I guess I can forget about having a good weekend.

Are you in?

While I was reading the utterly insane Berkeley thread, Northwestern tied them for most results so far: 26 each.

I have a gut feeling we're about to hear from Harvard, which I dread.

Well, there's the Berkeley massacre.

I'm on some university listservs, and those are heart-stopping.

Do you know what that person's field is?

Harvard has a faculty meeting scheduled today. Could be a POI was very eager to notify. But yes, historically that's early for them.

NYU is open. All schools in Boston are closed.

PS. Is there any reason we're on a separate thread now? Seems like this kind of talk normally happens in the main admissions thread.

If these are personalized emails, it's more than just hitting a button. And for all we know they may be going out in larger batches and only a couple are showing up here. Shit! Yale #3!
