Have the Taiwan offers all gone out? I'm still waiting

Thanks!! Everyone who emailed Thom Wall was rejected so I refrained from emailing until this noon. Not surprisingly, I was rejected in less than an hour. With that, closes my cycle.

In at SAIS (Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies)... I didn't see any post on resultsboard but I guess SAIS' phd program is quite atypical? Anyone still waiting on Harvard? I dont know if I should just call the department.

To people who've been waitlisted at UVA, they are hosting a visitation weekend on the 23rd. I guess most candidates would at least do the visitation before making a decision. PM me if you need more info.

to build on the original question, what about between GW and UVA? leaning toward UVA in terms of adviser and feel, but do people think GW is stronger, esp. more upcoming?

Thanks, eponine997!

Do you guys spend time learning more about a so-so program when you have better choices? I mean, it is also a fit, it just enjoys a lower ranking, I'm wondering if I should invest time in learning more about it just in case more information might change my mind?

Only two acceptances from Princeton on the results board? So anyone who hasn't heard should expect the worst?

Thanks! I received an email from the Program Director with the offer letter attached around 7pm on Friday. and yesterday, a very nice email from a professor on the admission committee to congratulate me.

IR. Hang in there...I think they do leak out very slowly.

OMG!!! I got in with UVA!!! Burst with tears after this looooong wait. got rejected by MIT, Cornell and UPenn but all those dont matter now 'cause UVA has always been my favorite. Now whatever happens with Princeton and Harvard, I'm already relieved!!

I emailed UMD and was told: They are in the process of making decisions. No news yet. Thank you for your patience. So I guess those who have not heard from UMD including myself still have hope...

I'm one of those who haven't heard from UPenn. I called the department and was told that they were "just about done" with all the decisions and my name is not on the list. I assume MIT is the same: no news is bad news.

haha!

But to compare to the scenario in Life of Pi, a paradise island might mean danger underneath. Who knows? God has a plan for everyone. So hang in there. We only know God's plan for us after it happens. It might turn out better than what we had originally wanted.
